Which Fighters Have Fought The Best Level Of Opposition In The Last Two Years?

i would say martinez in the last 2 fights (one year) but in your list, last 4 fights, froch takes it.

did someone beat me to david haye? Other than haye, I'd have to rank like so (just comp-wise right?): Sergio Tim Bradley Froch Sydorenko JMM Jean Pascal Yhonny Perez

Pacquiao barely loss a rd against those top bigger welters! Martinez lost a fight(although I thought he won) and visit the canvas! martinez is fighting the best in his division with out catchweights or cherry picked in house tomato cans. im not even hating on pac but hes cherry picking lately and taking any chance the tomato cans have with weight draining. cant **** with the mans feather weight resume though.

sergio, froch looks good though...

Carl Froch and Sergio Martinez, yes But how could you not add Timothy Bradley TIMOTHY BRADLEY Devon Alexander Luis Abregu (because he moved up in weight to fight an undefeated boxer) Lamont Peterson Nate Campbell Kendall Holt and possibly even, ANDRE WARD Sakio Bika Allan Green Mikkel Kessler Edison Miranda Bradley has had good opposition I agree, Ward not so much IMO, they are all good fighters but not from the top level (Kessler aside). Bika has been beaten numerous times and is tough but pretty crude. Miranda is not elite level IMO but is still dangerous if overlooked. Allan Green promised a lot but has looked sloppy a few times. Ward will be in the picture after his next few fights as I can see him fighting Abrham (obviously) Froch/Johson, then Bute or Kessler rematch. After that I thik he will move up in weight and challenge for a title there!!

martinez thats why he is the true p4p #1 Pacquiao barely loss a rd against those top bigger welters! Martinez lost a fight(although I thought he won) and visit the canvas!

martinez thats why he is the true p4p #1

Was wondering which fighter(s) everyone thought has faced the strongest level of opposition in the last 2 years and performed well. My picks are (in no particular order) CARL FROCH - Jermain Taylor - (W KO12) - Andre Dirrell - (W SD12) - Mikkel Kessler - (L UD12) - Arthur Abraham - (W UD12) Sergio Martinez - Kermit Cintron - (D 12) - Paul Williams - (L MD12) - Kelly Pavlik - (W UD12) - Paul Williams - (W KO2) MANNY PACQUAIO - Ricky Hatton - (W KO2) - Miguel Cotto - (W KO12) - Joshua Clottey - (W UD12) - Antonio Margarito - (W UD12) Honourable mentions to Juan Manuel Marquez Fernando Montiel Amir Khan There are probably plenty I have overlooked, any thoughts? I'll surprise everyone with this. The "best level of fighters" is only the BEST AVAILABLE regardless of their actual expertise. Therefore I say....the Klitschkos, who have consistently gone after the best available opponents on the contenders lists and wiped out the whole division. Now lately they have even had to reach far down to the European Champion level, like Sosnowski and British Champions like Chisora. What else can they do. They are fighters, they beed to fight or retire, and they are dodged and avoided like the plague by the 2-3 guys on the contenders list like Povetkin and of course not forgetting the chief and most disgusting dodger David Haye who seems to have made it his goal in life to prevent the Klitschkos from holding ALL the heavyweight titles which is their stated ambition. Mind you, I don't blame a guy for NOT wanting to have his head taken off by getting into a ring with the Klitschkos, but he has shamefully made his complete reputation out of challenging them, signing to fight them, and then running like a wing three-quarter, all the time mouthing threats as to what he'll do TP THEM when they pluck up the courage to face him in the ring........ I mean to say, obnoxious and obscene are words which do not sufficiently describe his atrocious behaviour, and the fact that there are still a few (although very few) dummies who still believ him and support him show us how true that old saying is....... "IGNORANCE CAN BE TREATED, BUT STUPIDITY IS INCURABLE................ How very TRUE!

Do they have to have won all their fights? If not cotto's resume isn't bad at all.

carl froch sergio martinez pacquiao marquez glen johnson

Out of those fighters U listed,Froch & Martinez,in any order U like.

I really don'tunderstand how Juarez keeps getting these fights!!! Honestly it is a mystery to me, one good showing against Barrera and then he keeps getting Title shots and good match-ups to revive his career! Honestly he's a good pro and I respect him but it is obvious now he doesn't belong at the top! IMO

rocky juarez, he keeps getting recycled

Maidana- Ortiz Cayo Kotelnik Khan Agbeko- Perez(2) Darchinyan

I immediately though Martinez before even looking at this thread, but if Clottey wasn't there, Pac would've been the top opposition fighter....

Frochy easily.
