    Im thinking it would have to go to the super 6 winner so probably ward. But i like rios as an outside shot for what he did to antillon. Bu the year is still early and there are some big fights coming up so who knows.

    We had a thread on the best trainers and for some reason he was not included in the poll which is crazy. The guy is top notch and always seems to have his fighters well prepared while giving very sound advice.

    He has 3 stars in his stable in Mikey, Rios and Donaire.

    How can we reward such a cheater and boring fighter? Not to mention a guy who has handed the super 6 in a silver platter?

    I second that. B-Hop is doing the unimaginable at age 46.

    because I see Ward beating Froch as the most likely win. The other guys have too big of mountains to climb except Bernard. I also don't see Donaire getting a high quality fight again this year

    He also has fought all his fights at home and actually Bika took quite a few rounds off him. I was hoping Bika would be head butting him left and right. I recommended head gear for this fight but Bika actually kept it clean.

    That's one reason i feel Froch has a very good chance. If it gets rough in there i dont see him backing from Ward. Hopefully he slams him like he did Dirrell.

    He also trained Viloria for a hard fought 11 rnd tko over campeon Solis of Mexico and don't forget Luevano he was Garcias first campeon? Robert Garcia boxing academy keep producing campeons.

    Ow oki, I think dawson is going togive hopkins hell eventhough im rooting for hopkins. Well donaire has officialy returned to toprank today so its not out of the picture for him to face somebody good in the next 5 months right?
    I know ortiz stopping floyd,khan unifying,marquez winning are unlikely but if any of those happen its more impressive than ward winning s6, if not then its between him and b-hop I agree. I dont think pac deserves it because of the mosley fight being such a letdown cherrypick and marquez being at 144 he wont get much credit for either fight if he wins so I guess he is out, maybe judah if he beats khan and bradley, or even bradley if he beats khan this year which is highly unlikely but still..

    Carl Froch - 12 Round War with Johnson and if he beats Ward then yes
    Victor Ortiz - Great win vs Berto and if he beats Mayweather goes abover Froch
    Bernard Hopkins - History making fight vs Pascal but the Dawson? Cloud fight would be better

    I cant honestly think of anyone else who have fought tougher competition

    for some reason people think he only trains brawlers because of rios and margarito.

    idiots dont know that that is those guys' style they're not made to box like floyd.
