    I looked it up, and seems like a low grade, but that's probably worth a little more than in the US, with the grade inflation and all. And that was badly put by me, Froch sounds sharper than most boxers so no shame in that.

    Every time a British fighter gets in the ring there is a chance for Shattered Glass usually in brutal and embarrassing fashion. They simply have a bunch of Glass Jawed hype jobs.

    Correct, Nathan does seem very avoided. See below

    As said above Nathan is more than willing and seems avoided. Looking at the current Ring LHW ratings -

    Consider -

    Nathan at #2, took the 0 of #6 Murat, took the 0 of #7 Bellew (still the only losses on their records), Shumenov (no longer in the top 10 but WBA champ didnt face Cleverly in the unification), Hopkins #1 apparently wasnt interested, #9 Braehmer lost his title for not fighting Cleverly and Nathans next opponent is the current number 3

    You tell me whats wrong with that. Thats not down to Nathan who has defended abroad on more than one occasion also

    I agree

    Maybe not many, but that is just down to hype, same as how many outside of Britain felt Lacy would be too much for Calzaghe, but people in the UK who had followed Calzaghe felt that although he was getting on he would do a number. Nathan is still young and full of talent. There is a reason why these fighters didnt want to risk it against him, like they didnt want to Calzaghe

    I just watched three of Kovlevs fights and I didn't see any devastating one punch knockouts. I think Cleverly can handle occasional hard punches and I also think that he can keep Kovalev honest with his own punches. Cleverly wins the boxing match hands down.

    You dont need to prop him up. He's doing a good job of that himself without all your stupid stats. He deserves all the respect in the world for taking this fight. Nothing like a fighter with a hefty pair of balls who wants to fight the best.

    He doesn't seem to be a 1 punch guy, more of a swarmer like Cleverly, just with a lot more power and a little less speed. And ? stamina. To be fair, Cleverly has looked ragged late against guys a lot less punishing, like Bellew and the Frenchman

    Froch gets his respect for facing the best and traveling the world. he's beat everyone bare Ward, who's a dirty little cheat.

    Ward is boring, horrible to watch, won't travel because he's a coward and a ducker, and cheats like hell. no one gives a damn about the guy.

    Floyd is the biggest ducker in history. he's avoided more fights than the French.
    so i wouldn't go shouting from the rooftops about it.

    MMA? who gives a **** about MMA? :patsch keep to the boxing will you.

    British fighters my suck to you, but we still beat the **** out of your guys the vast majority of the time. :deal :yep

    no American fighters over the last 3 months have suffered the most brutal knockouts.
    Fury v Cunningham
    Koyvalev v White
    Stevenson v Dawson
    Matthysse v Peterson

    All of them knocked out from April to early July.Do you forget this when you make your statements.Have you only selective memory?
