    I remember giving Froch a round or two.

    Ward was very sharp on the night, despite his injured hand.
    I don't think Froch would stand a chance in a rematch, but I also think Ward should go to England and fight Froch, regardless.. the money, the exposure and the glare will be much brighter in England.

    Sky's commentors said Ward is tougher than Froch, in addition to all else.

    'This is getting painful to see'..

    It was a clear win for Ward, however he was allowed to use a lot of rough spoiling tactics. I'd like to see the fight in the UK to see how well Ward can fight without home field advantage. As good as Ward is, I'm not fully sold on him just yet.

    Why was it the biggest fight of his career what had Ward done up untill the Super Six wht's he done since ?

    The nuthugging of Andre I like to grab and headbut Ward is foooking shameful. Yes he is a good elite level SMW he is no where near ATG level though Joe Cal, Eubank, Benn, McClelan, Watson all would beat him. Hell a Prime Kessler would have a good chance also his previous fight with ward should have been a N/C or a DQ for Ward anway he headbutted the like out of him it was shameful.

    Froch has a chance but I admit Ward is the better fighter I think Froch wins 2 / 3 out of 10 times if they fight. Froch can KO Ward

    Listing Lennox shows your bias though. I have the feeling you don't really like Lewis, but he does not belong on that list.

    Lewis never once (neither did his fans) complain or ***** about the Rahman loss. He himself said he messed up and his entire fan base admitted this. The Mccall loss isn't 'delusional' British fans complaining, it was a questionable stoppage.
    Weather you feel if it's questionable does not matter, HBO did, so did numerous ring side media. Now could Lewis have won if the fight continued? Who knows.. but as champion he should have been given the benefit of the doubt.

    Lewis is also the only person on that list and the only HW Champion in history to avenge all his defeats(Pro and Am's). He is a bona fide ATG and most historians/analysts have him as a top 10 Heavyweight(All Time)

    You could hate Lewis but you can't deny his greatness. Nobody said he's the GOAT... but he sure as hell is one of the greatest Heavys of the modern era(if not the greatest).

    You can't do this... we can say 'yet Douglas beat Tyson' so ANYONE can beat Tyson. Purrity beat Wlad etc...... You honestly think Lewis will fight Ali in the same state of mind he fought Rahman(1st fight) Or Tyson will fight Ali in the same state of mind he fought Douglas?

    Oh Tyson was a LOT closer to his ****ing prime than Lewis was during their losses..... Also Lewis avenged all his defeats. How come no other HW was able to?

    People say Tyson COULD have beaten Douglas.
    People say Wlad COULD have beaten Sanders.
    People say Hopkins COULD have beaten Taylor

    Could could could.. The fact of the matter is they didn't avenge their defeats so they couldn't.

    Lewis DID. You can say all you want about 'upsets' but until you avenge that upset.. it means you can't beat that person.

    LOL, I gave froch 2, maybe 3 rounds at best, and that's being generous.

    Froch got completely schooled in that fight and the real problem is, he'd still flunk the advanced course cause the material is completely beyond is level of comprehension.
    Don't get me wrong, I like Froch, but you have to understand his actual limitations.
    Like shown by Direll, Taylor and Ward, he will always lose against a good tactical boxer. This is why froch hasn't been calling out Hopkins.
