Froch looked clueless when faced with an excellent boxer in Dirrell.Outboxing AA does not make you FMJ!

after reading this mickey1975 i will take what you say in future with a pinch of salt

I will take that as a compliment from a man who somehow believes Steve Williams was taking over when pulled out by his OWN corner against Daws and is genuinely convinced Williams will beat Fankie Gavin....What have i said that is so hard to fathom when i wrote that Froch looked clueless against Dirrell? Have you seen the bout?

i'll agree with this,hatton vs urango was a boring hug fest hatton vs collazo he was dead on his feet from round 9 till the end, castillo fight wasnt all that either,most exciting fighter at british/european level in 2000's would go to hatton but not most exciting brit on world stage imo,i think the thousand's of fans that flooded to vegas when he fought made it sound more exciting

Carl Thompson

David Walker

That'll do for now.

Well if Hatton-Urango was boring then so was Froch-Abraham! Collazo was/is a very good fighter and that Castillo wasnt bad either...

Yeah, I sort of blanked the 'world class' bit - still - it was fun to watch Dave do his stuff. There isn't any argument about Carl Thompson.

froch vs abraham wasnt a hugfest,and if dirrell taught froch a lesson then collazo taught hatton a lesson aswell were getting some comparisons here arnt we,i dont know what was good about a 4 round fight were hatton was well too big for castillo,explain how is it wasnt that bad?

sorry i got to disagree with the cat cause the people he fought at world was an old chris eubank and a johnny nelson who stopped him other than that he is just an exciting british/european level fighter

You are showing up your boxing knowledge now,mate.Never heard of David Haye? Sebastian Rothmann? Ralf Rocchogiani? Ezra Sellers?
Seen the Dunstan fight?

Not blanking anyone - I am giving out an opinion - if that is allright with you?

Looking through your posts on this thread - you haven't mentioned Jamie Moore yourself - you tit!

was david haye world class at the time? NO, ralf rocchogiani you mean the one that knocked the cat out a few fight before the split decision victory? ezra sellers fight lasts 4 rounds the cat got k.oed oh and btw the nelson,rocky and eubank fights happened before 2000 so in theory he isnt all that for the 2000,and the answer to your question no i havent seen the fight between thompson and dunstan but again that was 1999. dont get me wrong the cat was exciting and everyone remembers the haye fight and the eubank fights

what about the most exciting british fighter of the last 25 years? id go with nigel benn he sort of reminds me of david haye abit the gung ho style bit of a dickie chin but dynamite in his hands

Froch by miles.

Hatton's fights had all the hype but other than the Tzsyu fight his stint at world class didn't really deliver.... constant holding kinda ruined them.

The only bad fight Froch has been in was Dirrell, which wasn't his fault..... Pascal was a war, Taylor kept you on the edge of your seat and the Kessler fight was arguably FOTY. Even the Abraham fight you were watching with baited breath waiting for Carl to lose his discipline and let Abraham into the contest.

Haye vs Valuev and Ruiz were stinkers, the less said about the cash grab vs The Fraud the better.

Did you watch the Rocchigiani fight? Ralf won on Carl having a shoulder injury - he wasn't knocked out thus the rematch.

Whose saying that Carl Thompson was the most unbeatable fighter since 2000? The OP asked if he was the most exciting and for me - he was by a country mile! Lots of love to Jamie Moore and Ricky Hatton but The Cat is my undisputed king (that sounds a bit homosexualish! Apologies )

the question was who is the most exciting british fighter on the world stage,the cat defo isnt imo but i respect yours

if it was the most exciting british fighter id have to go with jamie moore man this guy had balls of steel and could fight,gave me lots of great memories they dont make fighters like jamie anymore

Eddie, you should know better
Brother, you know you've not left it long enough
Thinking of the tear-ups and wars
Mooresy brought to us folks back home
Now say, "Where did it go wrong,
Me La?"

Oliver Harrison planned and worked hard,
from the very start
Tried to make him better
Than all the rest
But the brother proved to be
not blessed, with an injury-less career,
oh yeah baby.

Eddie is everybody's friend
But sometimes we wonder now and then if you know what year it is.

The only time he'll choose you
When you've just lost and been under a year retired
J-Mo had a shocking loss
But it is too early to toss his name in
There's still time for him to come back, Jack

Must be something in there clouding your mind
That has made you, through love for Jamie's exploits, so very kind
I agree with you but let's give it time.
Or at least until the doc is done, do do wop.

Only kidding, J-Mo is/was class in a glass. But I couldn't resist the chance to rejigg Eddie You Should Know Better.

hahah youre crazy

Carl Froch closely followed by David Haye

Think Jamie had world class ability, and not just because he posts here, but circumstance, injury and other little factors played a role.

Agreed mate...he's one fighter who, if injuries and delays and politics had not played a part,
would have had a world title shot, and probably won it.
