    WHO do they have to fight to PROVE their TRUE Calibre?

    not being hard on the fighters, I know better than anyone how this Business we call a sport works. I'm jus sick of the B u ll S hit e and Hype, mostly from the media, the illinformed and nuthuggers.

    Anyway what one or two fights do the alledged best have to participate in to prove they really are the best or belong among them? Choose your Champ and the Proof match up!

    Froch vs
    PBF vs
    Fury vs
    Klit vs
    GGG vs

    and so on through all of them.

    Froch vs Ward, needs to beat him or else he isn't the best SMW in the world.
    PBF vs Pacman, years out of date but still secures his legacy.
    Fury vs Too early to say
    Klit vs He's cleaned up
    GGG vs Martin Murray.

    Froch vs Ward
    PBF vs Pacman
    Fury vs
    Klit vs
    GGG vs Martin Murray.

    these are good, however, Pac's done, yes it should've happened a few years ago.

    Fury vs Price, because PROTECTION does not a champion make. he deserves NO other opponent - prove it at home, it should be easier than ever as Price has let down. something tells me however this is not a sure win for protected Traveller.

    Klit vs Haye, who else is there... yes Haye messed it up, but if Del Boy can give him a good fight, then the best Haye should show a 1000 times better than his lame previous bout.

    PBF vs Khan, silencing one of them, Khan has the skill to beat most, but not the bottle, still he should concern Floyd a bit IF he can get close for awhile.

    BHop vs Calzaghe, NO More Spoiling for this _unt, just take it to him and finish him... both past it, but the biggest Comeback RETURN in many a year.

    who else.

    Some of these have already happened and are cemented.

    Froch vs Ward (came up short and i think he would in a rematch as well)
    PBF vs ODLH ( His position as the best was cemented a long time ago)
    Fury vs Wlad (if hes still about, if not whoever replaces him)
    Klit vs if you mean Vitali it was Lennox and he came up short, Wlad hasn't really had anyone around and has lost to substandard oppo, I think his chance has passed, and its not really his fault.
    GGG vs Sergio, Ward or Murray.

    Vitali was beating Lewis until the stoppage. It should if went to the scorecards as it was a head clash that causes the cuts!!! Vitali's legacy is cemented 2 defeats and neither he deserved. Best heavyweight of the last while

    yes that is absolutely true and a quick rematch should've been made, but in the vain of this thread I'll say Lewis v Tyson II as well.

    but what other fighters today need to pair off?

    Froch vs Nobody/ unless if he wants to be best SMW then Ward but he is proven

    PBF vs Nobody the man has porven his greatness many times
    Fury vs Pulev/ Wlad beating Pulev would at least tell us he is second to Wlad IMO
    GGG vs Sergio/ Ward/ Froch
    Klitschko vs Pulev or Fury needs to stop taking nothing fights like Pianeta and Mormeck

    WOW Boxing has really bottomed out if people honestly believe Fury is Top rated, either that or it's just a percentage of delusionally hopeful fans!

    I don't want to get into that argument as its been done and done, but obviously Lewis was 38, undertrained. IMO he should have done the rematch, but IMO he was virtually a spent force at that point of his career, and I believe he'd have boxed Vitali's head off prime for prime.

    Mayweather Jr

    I still think there is a few fights obviously the Pac Man but this may be way to late for that fight if im honest. Danny Garcia, Amir Khan, Tim Bradley or even Sergio Martinez at middleweight would be good fights.

    Wlad/Vitali Klit

    For Wladimir I can only really see a rematch with Haye if he fights again and that's it really and same for Vitali. Maybe Wilder see if he can beat the two of them?

    GGG

    Chavez Jr, Murray, Martinez, Alvarez the worlds his oyster.


    Froch

    Only thing left for him is rematch with Ward if he beats groves

    Froch - In terms of being the top dog - Ward. If he could beat Ward (after a fight tomorrow I dont see him winning) then not only would he be regarded as a 'Take on all comers Warrior' hed legitimately have claim to being the best of his era.

    PBF - No-One. He could fight Pac but its too late. However we're talking of a once in a lifetime elite fighter. His legacy is MORE than secure already

    Fury - Still like to see him fight Price funnily enough. To 'secure a legacy' then Wlad.

    Klit - NO-ONE. There's no-one out there now who could further enhance his legacy. Will never be remembered as an ATG - partly due to the fact he fights in the 'blue ribband' division of the sport littered with fighters who have changed the sport, and partly because his generation has been **** poor (neither his fault but it is what it is nonetheless)

    GGG - Martinez would be a good start. Too hard to tell where he could be in a few years

    Froch vs *Irrelevant* Froch isn't the best and never will be while Andre Ward is fighting

    PBF vs Nobody at 147, he's already proven that, nobody at 154, he's beaten the best there too

    Fury vs Wladimir OBVIOUSLY

    Klit vs *SEE ABOVE*

    GGG vs Sergio Martinez
