For me Carl's beaten world class fighters, guys who've beaten other world class fighters at some point in there career. Bute gets flack but he's a solid world champion, Abraham for all the he's not effective at SMW has beaten a decent fringe world class fighter in Steiglitz and hurt Dirrell and took a round or two from P4P Andre Ward. That for me is still a decent win and to do it via shutout as well makes it even better. Pascal can be counted although people would say ''but he never beat anyone before that''. That's fair enough, but Ricky's not faced the best in any division yet IMHO. Faced threats? yes but not the best..

For me Katsidis is a hero, a true modern day warrior. A man of pride and integrity and of humble ilk but he's sadly a fringe world class operator who's failed to win against world class fighters even though he's came so close on occassions.

Martinez although world champion, beat a European level fighter in Nicky Cook who was so lucky to face Alex Arthur for a world title because he'd of been beaten by other champions that night IMHO. Nicky was a good solid fighter but not good enough against the more skilled fighters of division.

Martinez has beaten no real world class fighters IMHO, He's beaten fringe/international level fighters. Moses was a decent world champion and can get the nod of approval as a world class fighter but not at the higher end of the division. It wasn't to long ago people spoke of Mitchell going after Moses for the belt as he was ''easy pickings''.

Mitchell is and will never be a world class fighter IMO, Skilled offensively but defensively weak and mental make up to far short of what's needed to reign supreme at top of the mountain.

Froch hasn't needed soft touches, he's reeled off a fine list and with losses and wins. I think he's legacy far outweighs what Burns has done thus far personally.

Ricky Burns hurt Cook with a shot to the body. This caused Nicky to twist his back.

id say burns is around about fighting the level of boxers at say when froch was boxing brian magee.
He has a long long way to go before he gets near froch,and i really hope he does,top lad.

W arren is just a cockhead who hates anyone doing well who are not under his banner

Anything a promoter says about a fighter in their stable should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Burns is doing well but Froch is our best fighter at the moment.
