    More star power. Plus I still think we should go back to just the original 8 divisions so if that was the case they would have to move up or down and the four SMW chossen are fairly big SMW's anyway.

    Yeh, height wise they're taller than some top LHWs.

    Gun to my head...Andre Ward. He's the best mixture of youth, intelligence, focus, game-plan execution, speed, and skills.

    Bernard Hopkins vs. Travios Cloud
    Hopkins UD, he outworks Cloud counters him and beat him to the punch

    Jean Pascal vs. Carl Froch 2
    Froch UD, It will only look like the first fight for a few seconds in no more than 3/12 rounds. Froch will use his rangy jab to keep Pascal away, but because Pascal has the tendency to jump in he will catch a few and brawl from time to time.

    Lucian Bute vs. Mikkel Kessler
    Bute KO/TKO 10, even if some of you don't want to admit Kessler didn't had the timing and precision he once had, he won against Froch with work-rate and heart only.He was hurt by Calzaghe to the body when he was younger fitter and sharper.Bute is obviously better than Joe in that department.When it came to bodyshots Bute's even faster than Calzaghe, he surly is faster than Froch, he has power and accuracy he's great against fighter who come forward.There will be damage to the body, even if he doesn't ko's him to the body he will affect his stamina,even if it doesn't affects his stamina he will make Mikkel alert of the body-shots , and open a bit to the head.

    Andre Ward vs. Chad Dawson
    Ward UD
    I like Dawson, not even now I can't understand how him and Hopkins got beat by a good but still inferior fighter -Pascal- who seems to be having stamina problems in every fight(eg.Diaconu,Dawson,Hopkins).Ward on the other hand is one of the best, perfect mindset ,very good conditioning , amazing set of skills, he has even the dirty tricks. Dawson seems to be lacking in heart and the confidence to let his hand go.Ward will bully Dawson in a boring inside game with only few brief moments of boxing from the outside.

    Hopkins-Froch
    Bute-Ward

    I would like to see Hopkins v Bute
    Hopkins is a huge favorit against Froch, Ward is a huge favorite against Bute for a UD whille Bute is favorit agains Ward for a KO, in a real puzzling fight(it will be the first time Andre meats power and speed in the same package)

    It probably felt like a loss to Hopkins too considering he won virtually every round after the 3rd. I bet he thought he'd never get his rematch.
