roland bute is a second rate boxer the only probably top name on his record is joppy who had retired previous only to return to fight 5 people that most never knew of he was way past his best when he fought bute probably why the fight was in canada and not one of the major arenas in the states as the Americans knew it im not saying froch is a bad boxer but to use the the word great i don't think so mayweather and froch shouldent even be in the same sentence while i dont like some of his carry on outside of the ring inside the ring hes class cant be hit throws punches from many different angles and wins fights a lot of the time with his head similar in a way too andre ward who took froch apart watching that fight there was only one great boxer in the ring showing intelligence skill and class ward showed a lot more of these attributes then froch ever has froch has only one way of thinking and that to move forward in straight lines and is willing to take a slap to give one while if hart and guts made greats he would be a great but greats have more than just that they have what mayweather has andre ward has im not digging at froch well done he has certain attributes that i like he will be in many exciteing fights with his style but has to add many more and needs to go to the states and win there a few times before he can be called a great hammed was called a great until he came up against barrera i think it was even he realized the fights the big fights are in the states and was thought a boxing lesson when he came up against a real class fighter
