    Agree and IMO Ward is the only man between 154 & 168 who can beat Golovkin.

    Dominant. You have to be kidding! I do believe Carl Froch is a beast, and probably the strongest at SSMW. I think Ward and a active Andre Dirrel are miles ahead of Froch, and I don't even rate DeGale and Groves in the same class as the 3 I have named. With Ward and both the Dirrel brothers, I think it's America that dominates the SMW division. Certainly not the Brits!

    True I think it's because Aussies are bums.

    Over 20 years. They have done very well. Calzaghe is one of my all time favourite boxers.

    What can Gerald say ? And why even bring him up,he was beaten by yet another Brit champion.roy and James didn't want anything to do with Eubanks or calzaghe,plus calzaghe beat Roy and other than them factors there is no denying Britain have ruled the smw division

    Jones, Nunn, Toney, McClellan and Ward weren't to bad either
