Everyone can potentially defeat everyone else on their night & that makes for an exciting division & explosive match-ups!!!
    Yeah I agree, both Kessler and Green are well capable of beating Froch.

    I really rate Alan Green, I think he's going to be a world champ sometime soon.

    The guy has tremendous knockout power and great skills. He often looks spectacular in stopping overmatched opponents.

    He still hasn't had a defining win though and lost his first significant fight. However the weight drop and colon issues mean I overlook that. I think a 100 percent Alan Green smokes Edison Miranda, although to be honest I see everyone from Bute, Andrade, Taylor, Kessler, Ward, Dirrel, Froch, even Pascal stopping Miranda. He's simply too easy to hit and doesn't have a chin to withstand what's coming back. He also can't fight going backwards so is easy to figure out.

    I expect Ward to beat him easily.
    I rate Green too, I was disappointed with his performance vs Miranda but his health issues may have played a part. I always wanted to see a Green/ Mack fight when they were both at 168 & undefeated.

    I also think Ward boxes cycles around Miranda!

    But back to Froch, hes a solid guy in a solid division & will be tough for anyone around the weight!!!
    Nobody has boxed cycles around Miranda yet. He has been overpowered, but yet to be outboxed. Ward doesnt have the power to do this and doesnt have the heart or chin to stay on his feet. Others may beat Miranda, but I dont think Ward has the ingredients to do it.

    Well he hasn't faced Ward yet & you know Ward can box!

    I was very disappointed Taylor lost. I thought it was shitty that Froch could add his name to his resume, after hiding in a fucking cave in Britain for so long. I do believe you have seen the best of Carl.

    Having said that, I thought Froch did well. If I was Taylor I would have taken a knee at sometime in the last round and hoped to have biased judges. But I don't really think that would have mattered either.

    Also, Lopez was huge against Jerry. Lopez looked like 15 pounds bigger.

    Yeah Taylor needs to learn how to clinch when hurt, it could have been the difference between winning & getting knocked out!!!
