If Sven 'Lipstick' Ottke can knock him out, Froch will bounce him around like a wallaby.

I think i went into deatail last week ( oh ok new years ) regarding the Ottke situation.

I will easily state, what Mundine did or achieved to get to Germany and take on i am presuming/remembering an undisputed fighter at the time(please correct me) was quite impressive. Before i begin, i really cant figure this guy and his family out(business peoples) His record regarding cash and appearance,pisses on any fighter i can think of, sure he came from League and his dad was a Legend(yes) in his own right.

Mundine would either dance and poke. Froch will put him under the canvas, not on it.

I will take Froch.

froch no doubt mundine is a discrace.Making a living out of fighting taxi drivers,shit his pants when there was talk of kessler mundine rematch,so made the excuse that he was moving down to middleweight,froch aint kessler i know,but it wont happen froch is to powerful and mundine is to overated imo and hes a prick,so froch by brutal k.o,will have mundine calling for a sukkle on mummys teat!

Lets look the other way, who has Froch ignored in his quest? Oh who has Mundine ignored or ok repeatedly returned to old foes, hush mon, please hush. Sorry "Ashley"

Ill never understand why Mundine moved down to middleweight. Firstly, who gives up a belt to change division unless a big fight is already signed? Second, he had the chance at SM to set up a great rematch with Kessler. He could have carved this wannabe Froch up, then outboxed Bika, and by this time, a Mundine v Kessler fight is the best SM fight out there, (with Joe moving to LH). Even a loss to Kessler at this point wouldnt have really set him back, it would have gained him respect.
Its sad, sad for his fans.:verysad

Froch may not beat Kessler but he would fight him and not run. He may not have beaten Ottke but he would not have been ko'd by him, and i think with seasoning he would beat Ottke, Kessler not so sure. Siaca he would destroy. Green he would beat too, Froch is well capable of outboxing people and has a chin to back up the moments he cannot.

Mundine is a massive disapointment, there will be many unanswered questions when he retires and people will debate who he could or could not have beaten. But the reason for that is because he won't fight them.

Your a fuking dumbarse, how do you expect anyone to take you seriously saying sh*t like this^^^^^^^

Kessler SPANKS Froch

Green would have KO'd Froch

Mundine will totally outbox Froch.

Froch can't outbox sh*t, he is probably the worst technical world champ there is at the moment. He is absolutely WOEFUL defensively, has very sloppy limited offense, and Mundine would pick him apart all night.

Green is a proven bigger puncher than Froch, much tighter and crisper with his shots, and he couldn't land on Mundine all night.

How the fuk do you expect someone as technically poor as Froch to?

He says he is seeking big fights, but other sources say he turned down Bute and Kessler. So who knows what he is really up to...

If he is then full credit to him, he is FAR better than Mundine in that regard. Still, i can't see him having a long reign at the top fighting the best in the div. Taylor would be way too fast and too good from the outside. He would have only a punchers chance.

Kess would just be a level above in every regard, not even close.

Bute would be a decent fight for him, based on styles.

Why do you think Taylor is on the way out? I thought he put on a great display of boxing vs Lacy, and he looked quite sharp against Pavlik in their second fight.

He is still only a young fighter on top of everything.

I use to rate Bute as being the most overrated fighter on here but his fight with Andrade showed me he had more skill than i previously thought. This title now goes to Froch. I think Bute embarasses him through crisp clean combos all night long.

I wouldnt' call Frochs title legitimate. Its a paper title, not like he beat the champ or anything.

Anthony has a better resume, has faced tougher fighters, and has picked up titles which have just as much worth as the one Froch gained by beating Pascal IMO.

The fact that it is considered a fully fledged title means nothing, especially when Anthony ended up being a fully fledged champ after holding the regular belt for an extended period.

Taylor would give Kess more trouble then you might think. Kess has never been good at applying pressure, which is taylor's biggest weakness. From the outside, Taylor's handspeed and reach could definitely create problems for Kessler.

Level of competition is certainly better, there's no doubting that. It's been years since Anthony fought someone that remotely interested me. Probably Green, possibly Soliman II.

I dunno about paper title. It's become vacant since the legitimate, undefeated and unified world champion moved up in weight, leaving the strap vacant. He faced Pascal who was next in line. Can't ask much more than that.

I'll be betting large on Kessler if he gets to face Taylor. I've had my doubts on Taylor for a long, long time. I just don't think he'll have enough to get past Mikkel.

Taylor was good enough from the outside to beat Hop twice, and to give Winky a hell of a fight.

I think you may be underestimating him, although i would favour kessler slightly also.

The point is with Froch, that he never would have got the title if he had faced Calzaghe. So it really is a paper title. Two top contenders going at it, which is no different then what happens for an interim/regular strap.

Mundine hasnt' faced anyone in ages, but at the same time, Froch has never faced anyone really either that was an actual threat, apart from his last fight which was for the title, where he had no choice in his opponent. Lets not glorify a guy who has really feasted on some very easy match ups thus far in his career. National and Commonwealth titles really don't mean much in the big scheme of things, personally i dont' place any real value on such titles. The champion/fighter makes the belt, not vice versa IMO.

I think Taylor's speed would initially give Kessler some trouble, but I think Kessler inevitably smothers him and stops him at some point.

Because hes been protected for so long, and he hasn't faced anyone of note. An ancient robin Reid doesn't count. You have to be really making an effort to face genuine prime contenders and top 10 fighters to get a shot.

Look at guys like Yuri Gamboa. He will be getting a shot very soon, and is FARRRRR more dangerous an opponent than Froch. Difference is, he takes risk, because he has the ability to back it up.

Froch doesn't, he sucks.

Making assumptions about him being dodged was a silly thing to do on your behalf. I'll forgive you this time, just don't do it ever again.

I'm not after an alphabet soup debate, but there's a big difference between the legitimacy of beating the highest available contender for a strap that's become vacant because someone has moved up in weight and some second tier title that dates back to 2004 or 2005 so an organisation can get more sanctioning fees.

I disagree with your comments about National and C'wealth titles. Ask any domestic boxer who has won one what it means to them. Hell I know a certain boxer from around our town that is still cut he didn't get up in a state title.

Froch will land big fights or at the very least, decent defences. Him getting the WBC strap ensures that. Taylor, Dirrell, Ward etc are all rated highly.

Essentially I don't disagree with great deals in what you've said. Froch is largely untested. But for mine, it hasn't been for lack of trying. His career is on the asendency, while Anthony had the perfect opportunity to face Kessler and ran away. If Froch does the same, he deserves flak. But at this point in time, he looks like he's trying to land fights, not avoid them.

Froch beats Mundine yesterday, today, tomorrow whenever, because he has balls and Mundine does not.

Raw ability, talent , athleticism and Mundine is fantastic, yet he has no faith in himself, a punch to the temple way back when broke his heart. He fights afraid now, he makes Hector Camacho look ruthless.

I do have concerns about Froch, but his chin is not one ofthem, can you imagine Mundine standing up from the shots he took against Pascal ? Thought not.

The way i see it, Mundine cannot afford to make a mistake against a puncher like Froch, and at some point over 36 minutes he would. Then its over.

He beat Green , but who is he in world terms ?
He beat Soliman, he lost over here too.
He ran like he had Kesslers wallet.
Sciaca ..........jesus
Ottke .....Otkke ko'd him ( a novice him, so that can be forgiven and forgotten imo )

I hope Froch does fight him, while we are at it why not have England V Aus , what would your matches be ?

Once again though its about the fighter they beat but, not the belt. I wouldnt' consider Echols and Soliman to be second tier fighters at the time Choc fought them... Would you? The belt to me really means little, especially when they didn't beat the champ, its an extremely similar scenario.

I think you misunderstood this part. I said in the big scheme of things, meaning on the world stage. For world class contenders, these minor titles don't really mean a lot. I would rather see a young fighter taking on top 10 fighters and winning, then going after some of these minor titles, which often times for world class fighters are quite easy to obtain.

These types of belts are really something for the top guys in the domestic circuit to be aiming for, and i have no doubt it means a lot to such fighters.

Fair enough, but at the same time, you cant' give him credit for something he hasn't done yet, especially looking at his precedant so far within his career.

You know as well as anyone i am no Mundine fan, I think his ambition leaves a LOT to be desired.

At the same time, so does Frochs thus far, i'm really not ready to start praising him, when he has been pretty well protected himself.

We'll see how brave Froch becomes when he faces some elite level fighters and gets beaten. Something tells me not quite so much.

Its easy to bag Choc, but the guy has fought some tough opponents, in Echols, Ottke, Kessler, Green, Soliman.

While Mundine was taking on Ottke in his 11th fight, Froch was taking on Dmitry fucking Adomovich who boasts a frightening 10 - 7 - 1 record.

Again I understand what you're saying, however Anthony calls himself Mr 2 time. Mr 2 time what exactly? Froch has won a world recognised belt after a champion has vacated. Sorry but Echols was shot (literally) and Soliman is a middleweight at best. That being said, they were solid contenders and Anthony deserves his credit.

Froch meanwhile, despite being 31, has only had 24 fights. I think his career has been progressingly steadily. A resume of Porras, Magee, Dodson, Tatevoysan (who's fought everyone) a shot Reid and Pascal is not a bad little resume. It's not going to be confused with the who's who of Death Row, but it's not bad none the less. As I said, he looks like he's after big fights. He's called out Calzaghe for years and many others. That to me is more impressive than running out of the division.

Don't get me wrong. I know you're not backing Choc, and this post isn't necessarily aimed at you. I guess I'm just more impressed with the guy who's seeking challenges than the guy who's running from them.

Also the C'Wealth title gives you a good ranking with the WBC and is still held with a fair degree of prestige. Certainly more than Pan African belts etc.

Time is on his side. He hasn't been in wars. After 24 fights, his resume is light years ahead of Mikkel's at the same point. As I said about 30 posts ago, he's got the WBC strap now, it'll be decent fights from here on in, on the proviso he can keep it. It'll be fun watching, regardless. No doubt Mundine will be praying like fuck Abraham and Sturm can unify so he can swoop in for the 2nd tier title.... again.

The fact that he's only had 24 fights doesn't mean that much unless Kessler has experienced batterings in his fights, but thats not the case here.

Froch may have taken 6 years to get a title shot. He has been after one for 18 months though, and been ready for it too.

Mundine jumped in early against Ottke because he was feather fisted and near the end of his career.

Mundine would run so is not going to outscore Froch. Hes not going to ko him. Froch could and i think would ko him.
