    surely you don't believe all of that...

        I'm really not sure who wins this one. I've doubted Froch way to many times and just based off strength of schedule, I'd have to go with Froch.

          The SMW division is probably the strongest in all of boxing, meanwhile the MW division is one of the weakest in boxing, I don't know how you don't see the talent disparity.

          AA was a beast at MW, did you forget how he was folding guys up? He was apart of 4 guys that all had 1 punch KO power, Green, Miranda, Pavlik, AA. Of course once they moved up that power went down considerably, mainly because the talent level and the size increase. He's still extremely dangerous for anybody.

          Stieglitz is also a solid fighter as well. And he KO'd Bute years ago in the AM's which is totally different than the pros.

          Watch GGG vs Ouma if you haven't alreeady, it shows a ton of his flaws and was a very close fight up until the KO.
          I streamed GGG vs Ouma live, so I was skeptical of him at first. But you'd say the same having seen Broner vs Ponce.

          Abe has a good chin and a good punch, but he's got no skills, it's all cookbook Wegner boxing. He didn't beat anyone good at MW (just go and check), and struggled against some no hopers, like that Simon guy GGG KOed in 1.

          SMW sounds strong, but again, I checked the Ring ratings and see only 3 guys that would be clear favorites vs him. I'd favor him vs all 4 of those prospect types, vs Bute, Stieglitz and Abe. Bika would be fun, but he didn't look so great last time out.

              I think he caught Bute off guard. In a rematch Bute boxes just like Alvarado did last night, same situation, different fight. Remember, Bute never fights out of Canada and was on Froch's home turf, the psychological aspect is a big factor. Great win for Froch, I can't take anything away from him but I don't see him having the same success in Canada or in a rematch in general.

                Bear in mind that like Froch, GGG has already wins over Bute and Dirrell.

                This is the reason GGG gets ridiculed. So not only does he have wins over Bute and Dirrell, could have sworn they only had 1 loss each, both against Froch, but it must be against GGG, but he is also as skilled as Mayweather, Whitaker and Marquez.

                  IF they fought right now you have to go with the seasoned champ in Froch, GGG is still green and Froch is still in and around his prime.

                      GGG fans are really becoming delusional and kinda driving me away from the guy.
