    When did Ward fight an undefeated SMW champ? When did Ward fight a prime SMW champ? When did Ward travel to contest a SMW world title?
    Fielding did all that in one go and did the job in style.

    I tried to look further into your post and Zeuge had beaten P Smith at SMW who Ward only faced at a catch weight that suited him rather than SMW
    Would have been a tough war for Froch I think

    I understand. Sometimes its better to just write the story how you would want it to end. Take care

    Ward and Froch were of a similer level in a close fight at SMW. I know Froch travelled but when did Ward fight an undefeated SMW champ? When did Ward fight a prime SMW champ? When did Ward travel to contest a SMW world title?

    You haven't seen the revised WBA rules? He's not champion on Tuesdays mate, nor on days when the wind blows from the North East. There's two new belts for them on their way. Of course I say two, I mean four because there'll have to be regular and super versions of each.

    Better writing a story than a fantasy.

    What's a casual to you? That's such a pretentious and obnoxious thing to say. I know some shitty C level EU talent, you don't know him? Are you a casual!?

    What fantasy?
    What part of what I wrote was a fantasy?
    Show me where. Fielding travelled and beat an undefeated title holder. When did Ward do that at SMW?

    A casual to me is someone who watches the big known main events but probably doesnt know many of the smaller show fights and fighters.
    Yes im a casual who has followed for many years and tries to follow as many shows and watch the careers of these warriors.
    I am a big fan of the SMW division, which has been my favourite division since the Leonard/Hearns rematch and have a fair bit of knowledge of that particular division.

    Why do you think its obnoxious or pretentious to ask a question? Its not. Thats you being insecure. Get over yourself

    Putting Fielding anywhere near the class of Froch and Ward is pure fantasy. Rocky beat a B-level quasi-champion who was fighting off a short camp while in dispute with his promoter, with plenty of issues in the background it seems. Fair play to Rocky, he got the win and deservedly so. But to then make a leap from that one performance and imply it in anyway suggests he could live with an elite talent like Ward and a great champ like Froch is absurd.

    You think it's a reasonable shout. I don't.

    I just watched the fight on youtube. I can say unequivocally that Rocky Fielding is Harry Greb re-incarnated.
    His defense is impeccable, his hand speed is incredible, his strength is untouchable. The fight itself
    reminded me of Holyfield-Qawi, or Louis - Conn, or possibly Greb-Tunney I. On his best day Andre Ward would WILT under Fielding's attack. Carl Froch would be crushed.

    Now I'm getting back in my space ship for my return to Mars.

    Yes. I did. But to be clear: You're wrong, Fielding could never live with boxers of the class of Ward and Froch and your thread is totally ridiculous. That's my answer...

    Ok well I'm putting on my space suit right now; can't stay, be for now.

    Oh and Fielding is C level AT BEST. Should continue to fight in Liverpool bars, maybe at the Beatles club.Otherwise
    stay out of sight.
