    YEA possibly providing you teach your young prospects to WAIT & EARN their title shots as this WAITING period is where they learn their trade , do that first instead of unfairly sending them out to do a job they aint qualified to do in the first place then ANYTHING is possible , I honestly point blank refuse to except Australia ain't producing world champions any longer its they get rushed too quick .

    USA will run super middleweight when Ward returns, I also believe that the Dirrell brothers would beat both Gorves & Degale, also Andre Dirrell was robbed against Froch.

    I think possibly DeGale could win but I agree the yanks will rule the roost @ 168 and Dirrell was robbed v Froch .

    Why did Froch put up a poll on his Facebook on who he should fight and when GGG won the poll he ran away?

    I actually don't mind Froch because he is tough and uncompromising, however he lost that fight against Dirrell.

    I agree, and I doubt very much that Froch is scared of Golovkin like mrdoctor is saying, that would be a good match up and a great fight IMO.

    If that's a quote directly from Froch, at least he is being open and honest with himself and the public....... what's your point?

    Francis' thoughts,

    * Dirrell was robbed against Froch as mentioned by many on here. Why has Dirrell fought so irregularly over the last 4 yrs or so ?.

    * Ward is easily the king of 168. Can't imagine anyone beating him at 168 in the foreseeable future.

    * UK fighters have a brilliant history at 168.

    * Is Dirrell fighting DeGale for a title soon ? Tough fight to pick imo.

    * Did Froch duck DeGale and relinguish his title ?

    Froch wanted a big fight in the USA with JCCjr then retire. I don't think he's ducking anybody he said himself Ward would decision him in a boring non profitable fight. He's after a big $$$ fight before calling it a day.
    As for the thread starter Andre Ward isn't English.

    Andre Ward is clearly a standout in the division........he has had his way with the no2 and no3 in Kessler and Froch and those two are great fighters.
