The bit underneath was. But if she's cheating she's only copying what her fella does in the ring. It wouldn't shock me though the pair of the klitschkos are cheats. One being a drug cheat that's never posted a viable public test since testing positive, which resulted in him being kicked out of Olympic boxing. The other being wlad who appears to enjoy wrestling more than boxing. If you stop Wlad cheating in the ring then he's nothing. Even Audley Harrison would drop him.

Re: Boxing 2013
Huge rumours Khan never signed a contract with Alexander and is in fact on Mayweathers list! This could be huge! It's happening either way in Khans head. Mayweather will win but I'd love to see how he deals with the Khan speed.
Khan confirms there's no Alexander contract yet but is pursuing it.

Re: Boxing 2013
Could be interesting but Mayweather will pick him off. I'm more excited to see Froch tbh, does he deserve a few huge paydays ?

Re: Boxing 2013
He does for his heart and work rate. He's far from the best but it doesn't stop him heading in the ring with them. A world champion that doesn't duck opponents. Well deserving of it.

Re: Boxing 2013
Wait are we talking about Froch or Khan. Froch has always had a chin. Khan on the other hand...well doesn't need discussed. My above post was about Froch. Khan is different. He has the potential to be the best. His gob and cockyness however are a joke.

Re: Boxing 2013
Sorry mate I was talking about Froch but being a smartass about it. I really don't like the fact I've been thoroughly entertained by someone not recieving top dolla whereas someone else who cannot take a punch in boxing is. A lot of stuff doesnt add up in this sport, your recent posts states a fair bit but this does take the pee. Carl has got himself a bit of PR, getting on Jonathan Ross but thats about it isnt it? Can Sky do something with him ?
Btw I'm not 'hating' on Khan. He got his deserved hype and with that the wagon started rolling getting him paid well. His chin and attitude though as you say is a joke.

Re: Boxing 2013
It's because he's in a three fighter division. Only Kessler and Andre Ward fights can draw money with him. To match others he'd be looking at 3-4 fights a year. The bad thing for Froch is Andre Ward being vastly Superior. A knockout win over him would essentially be like beating the Mayweather of this division.

Re: Boxing 2013
Then what would happen if he won against Ward? and when will that happen ?

Unfortunately nothing. Froch would become the best in the division but with nothing left to achieve. Same thing happened to Haye at cruiserweight. He was unstoppable and he had toppled the entire division with nowhere left to go. Basically the most lucrative divisions are welterweight and and heavyweight. Mediocre fighters in those divisions can make more in a single fight than Froch in his entire career. Another telling factor is the lack of US fights. If Froch fought Americans in their backyard he'd earn more.
Harsh but Groves knocking out Froch could be a blessing for the division.

Re: Boxing 2013
sod the division if its dry. can Froch realistically gain or drop weight to enter other divisions in around him that could draw up entertainment ? the two divisions you mention are weight ranges he'll struggle to get in

Re: Boxing 2013
Please no. Don't do a Hatton. Haye could probably do him never mind Wlad. He's far too past it. Lewis will bin his rep if this goes ahead.
