    Its very good but it can be nit picked like JT was coming off a win over Lacy (nothing) but before that had lost to Pavlik 2 in a row including the brutal stoppage,Dirrell probably beat him although could have sealed the win more,Kessler fair enough was a very even fight,Abraham at SMW can be beaten by any fighter with some skills and constant work rate.Probably take a bitta flak but thats my honest opinion.Martinez has the best current form in boxing for me

      Sorry just realised you meant run off opponents instead of form then he is indeed on a very good run

        Froch has had a great run. The good thing is that it isn't likely to stop any time soon although he certainly has deserved an easy payday in front of his own fans in Nottingham.

          You should add a poll so we can vote between Froch, Mosley, JMM, Martinez, Dawson, Kotelnik and Pascal

            It's not like Ward has had consecutive tough fights is it? I mean Bika, Green and AA as in-betweeners are all inferiour to Froch's opponents IMO.

              Kotelnik has had a pretty good string of opponents 4 of his last 5 fights have consisted of Khan, Maidana, Alexander, and Gavin Rees.
              I knew someone would say Pacquiao. Every fight since Marquez 2 has been very carefully planned by Team Pac. Kudos to them

              Froch's kicks his ass

                To me it has to be Mosley. Then Froch, Martinez or JMM.
                I mean Mosley has fought the two best P4P fighters in the world in the last year or so. The Mora fight wasnt the toughest, but Mosley sure made it look that way. Either way Mora is never an easy fight. Margarito was highly regarded when Mosley fought him, as a matter of fact most didn't give Shane a chance.
                Cotto has only lost to Pacquiao and the plaster and is another future HOF'r.

                  Yeah I will go with Froch, especially because of the circumstances of those fights.
                  He's fighting the Super 6 Tournament, so he had an obligation to get a W in order to move to the next stage of the competition.

                  Before the super 6, he dominated Jean Pascal and then beated JT in the US. Yeah he was losing against JT, but in the end he showed a lot of courage and determination and KOd JT.

                  His first fight in the S6 was against the highly regarded Dirrell, and I say that because a lot of people keep saying that he's potentially the most capable SMW, and got a win. Controversial? Maybe, I actually saw Froch winning but yeah a close fight.

                  Then Kessler in Denmark. Kessler was coming from a bad loss against Ward and was obligated to win against Froch. W by Kessler but again a very close fight, It could've gone either way.

                  Then Abraham in Finland. Yeah Abraham has been already exposed but it was still a hard fight because Abraham always has the puncher's chance. Froch completely dominated him.

                  Now his fighting Johnson in the US, a hard fight against a tough veteran.

                  So yeah, he has the best fights run at the moment, not only because of the opponents, but he has actually done a good job in the ring.
