The SMW DIVISION

The division is pretty bad, tbh. It's old and Badou Jack just got a "title".

I think people make to much of the Dirrell bros, theres no doubt they are athletic but athleticism can only get you so far in boxing. So with that said, I think Badu Jack still has a question mark lingering over how good he is. And about George Groves... lmfao, I never understood why this guy was/is relevant. Maybe itd be a hot division if Ward wasnt there but until he moves up, long live Ward. Oh and Froch has Ward problems too. jack is an average guy. Froch would beat him up, Ward would out point him, Kessler and Bute from a few years back might even stop him easily. Andre Dirrell, at one stage, was an exceptional talent but then he lost his balls.

Seems this divison is getting hot again Badu Jack just beat Anthony Dirrell and will set to face Goerge Groves we got James Deagle vs Andre Dirrell.. Ward. Is back to action what fights will we be getting in the near future that will keep the divsion hot and who will reign supreme ..Can't forget Froch he may still have one more fight with any of these guys .

freaking chavez jr ruined everything! Actually Fonfara did

Yeah his fight being at a 172 catch weight pretty much tells me he is done at 168. How it's Hows first fight back I think he is just working the kinks out before he cuts weight

GGG is not a SMW. Ward by his own admission is not ready for a GGG fight until he has had his tune ups. And if he cannot make 168 comfortably, that fight may never happen at all. Yeah his fight being at a 172 catch weight pretty much tells me he is done at 168.

What about Kessler? Didn't he quit too? No. ......

Agreed. Cowards like Golovkin and Froch can't use Chavez Jr. as an excuse to duck Ward anymore. GGG is not a SMW. Ward by his own admission is not ready for a GGG fight until he has had his tune ups. And if he cannot make 168 comfortably, that fight may never happen at all.

Golovkin needs to move up and take these guys on, guys 32 and should challenge himself against a-class guys like degale direll ward who all said they would be willing to face him(degale and ward) Golovkin is a natural middleweight. There is no reason at all for him to move up until he has achieved his goals at MW. IF he was having difficulty making weight, then sure he should move up. But he has never had such problems in his career and makes weight easily without having to drain himself and does not gain ridiculous amounts of weight after his weigh in.

freaking chavez jr ruined everything! I'm still hoping for GGG v Froch, because that is a blockbuster war. It's more anticipated for me then Stev/Kov, Wlad/Fury/Wilder, Frampton/Quigg/Rigo etc etc.

DeGale beats Direll, on points, in an ugly fight. Groves wins or loses against Jack doesn't matter as DeGale v Groves is happening next year. Ward v Froch II may happen as other doors are closing fast: Chavez Jr isn't viable any more, GGG isn't moving up, Ward isn't going to LHW, so it looks like we're getting a rematch that should have happened immediately following Bute. That Froch would have given Ward hell. Ward wins in a similar fight to the first one now. freaking chavez jr ruined everything!

How do you feel DeGale does against Dirrell ?I also liked the fact that Jack beat Anthony the Puppy Dirrell I couldn't stand his antics either .. I personally would love to see Froch face Ward or Dirrell agin but I don't think he goes anywhere near them .. DeGale beats Direll, on points, in an ugly fight.

I'm liking the whole DeGale Vs Dirrell / Groves Vs Jack situation. If Dirrell turns up, him and DeGale could be a very good fight. I fancy DeGale to win, and i fancy Groves to beat Jack. So that would set up a real grudge (re)match between Groves and DeGale. I'd love to see it all pan out that way.

The last super-six ended up a complete farce due to b1tches like Dirrell & Ward quitting or refusing to fight away from home. Ward Didnt fight to at home in the finally but the promoters had to blamed for that fiasco I don't understand how Ward got all his fights in Oakland while the rest had to travel ..Dirrell's actions where reprehensible Thats for dam sure ..

The only way it will get hot is if the do another super-six. The last super-six ended up a complete farce due to b1tches like Dirrell & Ward quitting or refusing to fight away from home.

outside of ward and potentially the winner of dirrell-degale, smw is arguably even weaker than mw. froch is all-but retired. kessler's done. abraham and stieglitz will fight each other again and again for eternity. anthony dirrell is a dud and jack is mediocre. groves is a nearly-man, possibly mentally shot. evidently chavez jr is not going to be a player. admittedly i don't know anything about gilberto ramirez. let's hope that whoever wins dirrell-degale makes a real statement, otherwise ward might as well move up.

I wouldn't say it's getting hot again. It's nowhere near as good as it was with primed Kessler, Froch, Ward and AA with Bute standing in the wings. Jack is a decent enough fighter but there's nothing special there, not particularly quick, not particularly aggressive, doesn't hit hard and isn't elusive. If Groves is back to his best, he should be able to win this one in a tough but clear decision. DeGale has shown that he can really push onto world level and Ward, for all his lack of balls and activity is a world class operator. Andre Dirrell is a coward. Froch...well we just dunno where he's at this moment. How do you feel DeGale does against Dirrell ?I also liked the fact that Jack beat Anthony the Puppy Dirrell I couldn't stand his antics either ..
