Froch’s win over Bute kills any hope of Pacquiao vs. Mayweather
First published at Boxingnews24.com:

“I’m always angry.” Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner said in the Avengers movie signifying the beginning of the end for the enemies. It might as well have been Carl Froch saying that. In his own word, he was an animal - the green behemoth unleashed upon a cerebral but helpless Bute. And as Froch ’s brutal honesty manifested itself in the fight as blunt force, the hopelessness of Bute’s cause became more obvious.
You know what’s coming but still you’re not prepared. “Hulk smash” is such a wonderful thing to behold.
It was perceived before the fight that Lucian Bute would win. After all, he was the talented fighter with the superior skill. The recognized technician should have made Froch crude than he already is and then should have proceeded to dissecting him. It didn’t come to pass.
Boxing is not rocket science. If it is, no one was paying attention to Froch’s evolution.
Froch is made entirely of different clay, an amalgam of elements forged by the heat of difficult battles. From 2008 onwards, he went against only the best his division could offer. He didn’t always triumph but he evidently came out a better man. A beast forged by fire that Bute is not ready for.
There is another thing we can take with us from Froch’s triumph. With Froch’s win over Bute, the superiority of Pacquiao over “Flawed” Mayweather is increasingly obvious. Mayweather has always look good on paper but he has also always taken the path of least resistance. We don’t need a Bunsen burner to know that paper burns.
Cotto showed us the real Floyd. Not the modern great many writers painted him to be in that fight but a “Flawed” Mayweather unable to impose his will on a not so willing victim. Applying Mayweather’s logic, and he’s right this time, Cotto is a Pacquiao leftover. How come then that Cotto is not as soft as Mayweather wanted him to be? Floyd couldn’t break him down the way Pacquiao did. He never came close. Floyd didn’t own Cotto. In fact, the opposite was true. Floyd’s face was a bloody mess reminiscent of Cotto’s bloody face when he was at the losing end.
Floyd has been feasting on no hopers that it rubbed on him. We are what we eat.
Floyd is Bute . And Pacquiao is Froch many times better. Not entirely the truth and not a lie either. Bute is a warrior ever ready to take risk while Floyd would run from it.
Pacquiao would deliver his own “Hulk smash”. You’re dreaming if you think Mayweather will stand in the way of that. We weren’t really listening when all along Floyd has been screaming No Mas.

Messiah 666 - Redefining the World
What if everything you had been taught and everything you had learned about the world and religion are but lies? Your whole way of life and your very life is threatened when reality rears its ugly head and comes at you with such brutal force. Pushed to the brink and to the very edge of your existence, you have come to realize but one “Truth.”
But then, you’ve also realized that the “Truth” could not set you free. Rather, it does the complete opposite and drags you deeper to the pit that salvation would come nowhere near.
Welcome to the world of MESSIAH 666. As prophesied you would know the end of the world is near when a whole bunch of Antichrist grabs the limelight – but not for the reasons you and the rest of humanity have been led to believe. There is only one truth in the vast arrays of lies and it holds true up to the very end.
The very end.
We call the that Armageddon. The time when not only man but also gods shall heed the call of battle and fight the final fight. Gods, lesser gods, mythical beings and man mixed it up in recipe sober minds would call disaster.
A bloody disaster.
And such a bloody disaster is what Andrew, Rosabel and the devious Father Paul must evade to make it to the end. At times hilarious but almost always dangerous, their journey would take you to epic heights. (Yes you – you have as much at stake here as everybody else.) And in their quest, the Truth is waiting where it always was - inside you.
As it was in the beginning, so it shall be in the end.
But what is that truth?
That is for you to discover in the world of MESSIAH 666.
You have been warned:
Abandon hope all ye who enter!
