    This stuck with me, I think lack of 175 title hurts Carl.

    If Froch beats Hopkins more convincigly then Calzaghe did, then I would rate him over Calzaghe.

    Froch will never beat Ward, but at least he fought him.

    Wasn't Eubank only 30 or so when he fought Calzaghe? I don't see the washed up statements.

    Calzaghe dominated his division, moved up to LHW and won the title from Hopkins. Then people want to say Hopkins was washed up. Yes, 43, however he is still champion at 48. Let's be fair.

    Can someone explain how Pascal, Dirrell, Taylor, Johnson, Mack are good SMW wins? They havent done anything at the weight. Nothing.
    Abraham isnt a top SMW either. I thought he lost the first fight to Steiglitz and then did lose the return and how many posts were on ESB saying Steiglitz was the worst champ etc. Many on here even said Bute was a fighter that never did anything and never stepped up and not a top champ. I actually think Frochs win over Bute was excellent, but just look at how people have changed their posting to suit.

    With that above, you can still note Brewer who was a SMW champ, Bika who is still a top 10 SMW, which shows that the era is not as strong as it used to be, Veit 1 who became a SMW champ, Manfredo when a top 10 SMW, Starie who beat undefeated Woods. Then you have the LHW wins over Hopkins and Jones

    A big thing is that many here do not know the division from a few years back before Lacy. People watch the SMW division because of what Calzaghe did and the S6 was to find a champ after he left the division.

    Im a big Froch fan and he is one of my favourite fighters, but I have watched the division from day one and his SMW resume although good isnt up there with Calzaghe, Eubank, Ottke, Kesslers yet
