    Many similarities here...

    Unification of two titles.

    An unbeaten American Olympian.

    A 34-year-old Brit.

    American seems to have fast hands, creativity and curvey punches against static one- or two- punch throwing targets.

    Brit is capable of throwing five-, six-, seven- and eight- punch combinations against a come-forward fighter, and turn him.

    American fought common opponents near their worst, while Brit fought common opponents near their best. (??) (Reid, Sheika .. Kessler, Abraham)

    American was favourite, Brit was underdog.

    Who knows

    :lol: I'm sorry, but Froch fought a Kessler that was closer to his best than Ward did? Really?

    And when was Lacy ever fast or creative exactly?
