    Another good video Rummy.:good Welcome aboard the Krusher Express.:deal

    I give Froch a decent chance in a rematch though.

    Again have to pretty much completely agree with all that, Kov - Ward and GGG Froch would be the 2 best fights that can get made for me right now as I can't say with certainty who I think would win either.

    Though I think Roman Gonzalez has a shout for P4P number 2.

    Ward would probably TKO Froch in a rematch. Froch is past it. Anyone who watched the fight knew it was nowhere near as close as the scorecards say, and you cannot forget he had a broken hand. People complain that Ward gets given home treatment but that scorecard was a robbery.

    As for Kovalev, interesting fight. I'm not sold on Kovalev yet. I see too many flaws in his game. He's a very static boxer who would be picked apart by a faster guy with skills, which Ward is. A fight with Adonis would be a nice tester for him as Adonis is fast and skillful, albeit levels below Ward in terms of speed and technique.

    Kovalev for most of his career has faced faster guys with skills and never been troubled by any of them, it's not a stylistic problem with Ward, just that Ward is a special fighter.

    Ward has never been hit by anyone like Kovalev. At some point Kovalev catches him, and then it is gut check time.

    This is it. Ward will have to literally box a perfect fight to avoid any significant damage. But when Kov hits him a few times, we will see Ward grab and clinch all fight. How Kov deals with Wards roughhousing and grabbing and clinching will be interesting. I hope when it does get made that the ref limits the amount of clinching.

    Hopkins was 50, Pascal was dominated by Froch and lost to and aged Hopkins. Kovalev was impressive, but you have to take it with a grain of salt

    Good vid, certainly I do agree that Kovalev should be a slight favorite against anyone at 175 even if Ward moves up. It would certainly be an interesting fight.

    Hang on, when did Pascal get dominated by Froch? That was a battle from beginning to end which Froch came on top of. Far from domination. Pascal is also one of the best LHWs out there and was never stopped until Kov got to him. Also Hopkins was beating some very good opposition before he came up against Kov, he was still very good.

    Great fight but result was never really in doubt at all, few competitive rounds at the start but Froch dominated. He's one of the best Light Heavies still as the division is weak as a whole. I am a massive Hopkins fan, but he should have retired after the Dawson fight. Fair enough he beat Cloud, but that was a more mental win, Cloud lost his bottle. And Cloud was never all that anyway. So no, Hopkins did not beat "some very good opposition before he came up against Kov", not at all in fact.

    Well, I suppose he is good enough in the sense he might catch Ward with a big punch and get him out but otherwise, no I don't believe he is good enough to defeat Ward. Ward should definitely wear an American flag on his trunks anytime he faces a Eurobum.

    Marquez also resembled a butterball having been brought up 2 weight classes.

    Floyd beating JMM is like Ward beating Canelo.
