Is there any doubt that Carl Froch’s KO victory over Lucian Bute puts him in the class of not only the best British fighter out there today, but possibly all time? He still has things left to do and scores he needs to settle (you listening Mikkel Kessler?) but his current run of fights is one of the toughest of all time. Although we here at For The Suits certainly believed that Lucian Bute was simply not at Froch’s level, the general consensus in the boxing media seemed to be Froch was the underdog. The bookies had him one as well. But the quality of competition that competed in Showtime’s “Super Six” tournament certainly showed itself with “The Cobra’s” mauling of Bute. Any worries about favoritism being shown on the cards at the end of 12 rounds quickly went out the window on Saturday evening when it became clear Froch had no plans to let the fight get that far. So here’s to Nottinghams finest, Carl “The Cobra” Froch. His lady ain’t half bad either.
