    I doubt there's anyone in boxing right now who has more self belief then Carl Froch. You only have to listen to him in interviews to work that out, acting like his **** don't stink.

      And I agree with the OP's rankings except I might place Froch at the top. Although I don't think he has much ring smarts nor does he prepare very well strategy-wise.
      I think he had issues with the ref, but Abraham never really looked flustered even after he went to ground.

        I really would have loved to have seen the last two rounds properly, rather than that abrupt end.

            Yep. It looked like either a bike to a UD points win or a very late KO from Abraham.

            Of course, Abraham DID get a late KO, but not in the way I expected

                  I ask if Calzaghe was still an active super middleweight would he be beating all these guys? Would he be handling all these different styles?

                    I believe that Zag would be a reasonable to heavy favourite (favorite, Fat Yanks) to beat all of them, yes.

                    Well, we already know he can beat one of them anyway.

                      **** me, Allan "****ness" Green, eh? Even as early as the second round he was looking to break out his shine box.

                      Apparently there was controversy last night when he said to the referee he wanted to quit. Raul Caiz turned round and said "the first bell hasn't rung yet, Allan, give it a chance."



                      Can you imagine what it'll be like when he fights Mikkel Kessler in the third stage?

                      "I'mma gonna let you win, dawg - I'mma just gonna look to survive the distance and lose a UD."

                      "Schnell! Nein! Nein! I ist are und lose... you vin. I mentally quittenshun!"

                      "**** that, dawg - I'm the loser. You have the win. I'mma mentally folding and just looking to go the distance, playa."

                      "Nein! Nein! I und giveupenshun. Vere izt my stool? I quittenshun on it."



                      I was given the opportunity by Allan to look inside his soul the other day.

                      Unfortunately this is what I saw:
