The problem is, too many fighters are obsessed with staying unbeaten.....This isn't helped by promoters like Frank Warren, who guard their fighters with too much caution, mainly for their own, selfish promotional purposes.
Its fair to say, Froch has now overtaken Calzaghe when it comes to admiration for their fight records.....Calzaghe is probably the better fighter, but because he was shielded for so long by Warren, he will never gain the esteem for his career that Froch will.
Whatever happens from now to the end of his career, Froch will always be respected for his willingness to put it all on the line, against opponents who were deemed to be his equal or superior.
Just one other thing, and this is not to detract from Froch's performance, but last night highlighted that Bute was the classic shielded fighter that Froch definitely isn't.....Bute was pretty poor - His defence was poor, and his chin was highly questionable, every shot Froch hit him with seemed to rock him.....Obviously, Bute has been well managed to gain the reputation he had built up, but after last night, its apparent, he probably isn't even in the top 5 super-middles - It was very similar to when Calzaghe exposed the much-hyped Jeff Lacy.
clev not on frochs level...froch is looking at kessler...IF bute doesnt take the rematch in the contract clause
