    But it would still be competative. Its only uncompetative because is the scoring system, not because of the actual fight.

    I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree on this matter mate. I just cant call a fight where one guy only wins two rounds competitive, though I do see what you're getting at.

    david haye at 56? ranked lower than andre dirrell (41) joshua clottey (54) and alfredo angulo (45).
    how can anything angulo has achieved be worth more than what david haye has done?

    A few critics have said about this, but the only other option is the amateur scoring system. And that's completely ****ed the sport up in lots of ways.

    I didn't think Peterson-Bradley was competitive really. There were only two rounds that were more difficult to score, the rest were clearly Bradley. Peterson did good work and it was an exciting fight, but he was always getting outworked or outboxed.

    On skills it's got to be Ward, but Froch has an ability to drag men into a his fight. Plus I can't see him waiting around for Ward. Froch has longer arms and a hard, sneaky jab.

    I wouldn't pick Froch to win because I think Ward has more wrinkles to his game. But I still think Ward's chinny and will struggle when fighters don't crumble under his pressure. Froch hasn't ever crumbled to anyone, even when getting beaten around the ring by Taylor.
