    Wlad has been beaten before and everyone knows he is chinny. If Froch goes on to face Ward in the final, Ward is something like 130, 140-0 pro and amateur, not lost a fight since he was 13. If Froch beats him, thats huge. Id consider it a more significant achievement anyway.

    I was actually making a joke about Beeston hatred of haye
    interesting point about Ward though i disagree because i think Wlad is more proven as a professional, although his amateur record is impressive its still amateur and there have been plenty of great amateurs who havent been good professionals so it doenst carry a huge amount of weight at this stage in their careers IMO. Also Wlad has dominated the HW division and has a considerable size advantage over Haye.

    This is great news for all concerned,i just hope everything goes well in the Johnson fight,it would be terrible if he lost that fight now he finally has a chance to breakthrough to the mainstream.

    If Haye beats Wlad you'd have to put him top, despite him being pretty inactive and not having a proper fight since Valuev.

    Froch would most likely get an immediate opportunity to retake top spot by beating Ward....

    That said, Haye most probably will lose to Wlad so I won't have to put up with The **** being #1 :yep

    Matchroom may have signed Froch but let's see how they match him (post Super 6) or any other would be alphabet champ they have recently signed. The way Eddie Hearn played on the WBC's ridiculous rating of Dominico Spada as proof of Spada being world class was a bit of a worry. I'm sure Froch wants to face the best but for all we know when it comes to finding opponents Hearn might end up doing with some of them what Frank Warren is doing with Ricky Burns.
