So what do we make of Khan-Garcia then, subject to Khan getting his titles back?

Good fight, Khan should win and hopefully it will be for 3 titles. Garcia's only chance is the put pressure on Khan for every minute of the fight, Khan shoul outbox him to a stoppage or UD.

Like Peterson was meant to be?

Who do you expect him to fight? Garcia is the only belt holder left. Ortiz and Alexander have both moved up and Bradley has ducked him and is fighting Pac. Maybe Robert Gurerro but he's been inactive since beating Katsidis.

peterson fight should of been straightforward...khan had the gameplan right then didnt know how to handle him after he changed tactics...plus he was on drugs

khan always struggles against come forward fighters... peterson,maidana,limond.

id of liked to have seen him fight judah or maidana again(fight of the year)

but the division looks dead in the water now, time to move up and take on the big boys

I think we all already knew, but Carl Froch proved tonight he is one of the greatest warriors British boxing has ever produced......What a performance!!....What a finish!!

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Sun May 27, 2012 12:28 am  

Carl Froch <3 I LOVE YOU!!!

What a performance! Absolutely buzzing!

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Sun May 27, 2012 3:17 am  

Sorry but IMHO.

Froch > Lewis, Calzaghe, Cooper etc etc etc the man is a national treasure. He was hall of fame before he wiped out Bute tonight. Good luck Groves etc following these footsteps, the man has taken on the very best in the world, won most, come up short a couple of times with his dignity well in tact. Now he's gone in against an undefeated world champion and blasted him well out of the water.

Thanks Carl.

He's been a hidden gem for so long, too long in fact. Hearn has finally got him out there and the public LOVE him! All he wants is to fight the best, whenever, wherever. Such a good bloke too.

It was brilliant to see my Facebook feed buzzing with people celebrating, most of them I didn't even have down as casual boxing fans.

I'm so chuffed he's finally getting the recognition he deserves.
