    I find it fairly hard to juddge between them i would ask yuo only to consider their careers up to this point and disregard any furute bouts.

    Each of these fighters has captured a world title and made a few succesful defence and fought a some big names where do they rank

    Clinton Woods

    Junior Witter

    Carl Froch

    Froch,woods was an excellent fighter who done brilliantly in his career and imo was very unlucky there were so many good LHW's around when he fought

    I think personally i would probably have it Woods Froch Witter. I think its easy to get carried away with froch because of super 6 and certain wins that may prove to be more/less significant. Whilst Froch has wins over Taylor Pascal and Dirrell he has also lost to Kessler. Woods also fought the best and lost Tarver and RJJ, though his wins aren't as individually impressive Glen Johnson and the one time highly touted Hoye are worth shouting a bout as well as a number of other lesser world level opponents such as Gonzalez and Muriqi.

    Witter higher than Woods? N'dou is a decent win as is Corley though he was faded Kotelnik also fairly good but came up short against Judah Bradley and Alexander

    Witter has Harris, Ndou, Kotelnik, Corley & Lynes.

    Woods has Johnson, Gonzales X 2, Muriqi, Ashley & Hoye.

    As for Witter coming up short against Bradley & Alexander, i'd say he was quite clearly on the slide - I though he was slipping before he even won the WBC belt.

    I'll be honest I don't like Witter.. I think he's a *****, He walks around like a really arrogant idiot, I've also met him a few times so it ain't a one off judgement thing... I don't let that cloud my judgement though as the kid is a terrific athlete and could really fight..

    However I have to be honest when saying I just think he's a tit..:verysad

    Haha yer i think he is a great athlete but i do kind of imagine him as the kind of guy who thinks hes achieved a bit more than he has and the fact that he didnt get certain opportunities/recognition is everybodys elses fault

    He is a good athlete mate.. he's achived an awful lot in boxing BUT he has a chip on his shoulder the size of the titanic.. Shame too cos he'd have had a few stories for the after dinner circuit had he just had the right attitude..:-(
