One of the greatest travesties was that Mufukka retiring when 168 got hot...see if he would kept that zero after that shyt..but it was hilarious though hearing froch talk shyt about him..esp during those behind super 6 eps

After he got dropped by a past prime Hopkins & the ghost of Roy Jones Jr. he knew he had to retire with young lions waiting in the cut like Froch, Ward, & Dawson. He knew he was bound to take an L from at least one of them. I believe Chad Dawson would've beat him at 68 or 75 back then.
