    The most frustrating thing is that Ward is capable of beating almost anyone from 160-175 but his career is just falling away.

    I'd give Gvozdyk, Shabranskyy and Barrera a decent shot as well, maybe even Pascal.

    You're right, I always forgot Bivol because he's so damn young, but he has a better shot than Slava and Barrera IMO.

    I think the lads quality and is going to be something special

    I remember watching him in the amateurs and every time I saw him I was like wow his something special. I was delighted when he turned over because he would have given Joe ward serious competition because he would have been a serious force come 2016

    Ward has seemingly regressed a little to me over the last year, he really needs to work on his stamina issues, especially before he turns pro. Bivol is a natural much like GGG and Kovalev, it all comes very easily to him.

    I think as a pro prospects his fallen because his almost became a more polished amateur lately rather than the teenage wrecking ball all action fighter he used to be. Ya his stamina and dedication are a serious issue. I know he got stopped in the. APB but I've no concerns about his chin,he just gassed badly and put his hands down and ate flush punches to get the fight stopped it was really weird. Took about 10 flushs shots in the face referee jumps in and he walks back to his corner as if to say yay I can go home now.

    He said his cleaned up his act so no more drinking partying and slacking off his training so hopefully he can make an impact as a pro because the last thing his lacking is talent and physical ability.

    Bivol is exactly what you want as a pro fighter a complete natural who doesn't seem to have any weaknesses and dedicated and packing power. In the same mould as ggg

    Bad exmple :verysad

    By modern day standards Froch deserved a hell of lot more tune ups than he actually took. He'd take anyone on and in their backyard. None if this fannying about waiting for small men to come and fight in his backyard once every three years

    How is that a bad example? (Ward and Smith both moved up in weight for that fight)
    How did he have any right to drag Mack down in weight? It was a pointless fight.
    The Super Six ended 4 years ago and Ward has had only 3 fights since.
    His layoffs have been as follows: 9 months, 14 months and 17 months. His victory over Paul Smith was 6 months ago.

    Everyone keeps acting like he should step right in there with Kovalev or a top LHW contender but its absolutely absurd.
