Boxing schedule for the month of May
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
Man what is up with people throwing the bum label around to guys that clearly aren't. Go to a local show and watch some of the guys fighting in 4 rounders, or look at some of the cannon fodder for up and coming prospects in early fights, those are bums.
A guy who beats Pascal, Abraham, Taylor, Kessler, Bute etc. is in no possible way imaginable a bum.

Froch isnt a bum but hes not a A fighter either. We seen him get outboxed by Dirrell and Kessler, nevermind getting humiliated by Ward. When he fought Kessler the 2nd time we all know Kessler wasnt the same fighter, looked like an aged fighter which is typical since it was like his 45th professional fight. Pretty sure Jermaine Taylor outboxed him also but ending up getting knocked out in the 12th round by Froch. I give him props though for thing and 1 thing only. He has fought a lot of good fighters.

He's way closer to an A fighter than he is to being a bum fighter that's for sure. Normally people reserve being A fighter for the boxing elite. Granted Froch isn't that, but he's not an easy out for anyone not named Ward and while I thought Dirrell won the fight, it was still close as was the first Kessler fight.

When humberto sorrita soto was beating all these fighters from central and south america hogging up the wbc belt mexico wasent on his nuts going crazy over him we knew he wasent that good as soon he came to the usa to fight ass whopping....froch str8 up sucks he beat bute,kessler,abraham come on who they beat...froch should not even be anywhere near the p4p list just like calsaghe they skills are a joke....if they fought in the usa most they carears vs average slick atlectic fighters not local stiff robots they be bums....
I guess it would depend on your grading of boxers, which I honestly don't even like to do because guys beat fighters out of their class all the time. If I had to grade them an A fighter would be reserved for very special fighters and the B class would be packed with a lot of very solid but just not quite elite guys. Like I said before not everyone is gonna be Floyd, Froch had a spectacular career and tested himself damn near every out.
Even this Groves fight, where he was on the lucky side of a bad stoppage and was clearly losing. He could have moved on and pull the "well I already stopped him" excuse but he got right back in there with him and folded him like a lawn chair.

Yeah he did, it was a normal sloppy Soliman fight. Sturm landed the better shots but they were few and far between. Would be good to see a unification fight with Golovkin but that'd really be the only reason I want to see them fight. Soliman would get absolutely demolished and that's if his piss test comes back clean this time.
I wonder who the hell chose Bika and Soliman to be on the Contender. They both have miserable styles for television. The crazy thing is, they're the only 2 still going and they were both kinda veterans going into that season.

That contender seemed setup to reignite Codrington's career after Green beat him half to death in a second. That finale with Bika was as TV friendly as you'll get. Bika has a TV friendly when he's fighting someone that isn't better than him, it's just when he steps up and has to wrestle cause his winging punches aren't doing anything.
After I typed that, I thought of a few fights that were TV friendly. But overall, he just has had so many bad tv fights that I could remember that it's hard to say he's outright good for tv. But you're right, if he's matched evenly (which is hard to do and have it be worthy of television) Bika can be pretty exciting because he's tough as hell and doesn't give up and he's actually a decent puncher.
