I'd love to see him in there with Maidana. Either he'd look much better against someone cruder and far more flat-footed than Paulie, or more satisfyingly for me he'd get panelled on the jaw really hard. Leaving my hatred for him aside, it would be good to see his chin tested or see if he can tighten up his defence against more dangerous punchers.Get him in there with someone who has power and let him walk them down like he was doing with Paulie today. Maidana?
Broner really is a charmless goon.
What do we make of the supposed fight between Froch and Groves? I just can't see anything other than a Froch win personally. I was hoping Froch might move up and have a go at Nathan Cleverley, i think that would be a far better fight, with a far less predictable outcome.
Yeah, it's not a match up that excites me either, because although you can never be sure of anything in boxing, i can only really see one outcome. What do you think of my suggestion that Froch moving up to face Nathan Cleverley at Light heavy would make for a far better fight?Froch would destroy him. Groves even admits to being dropped by him during sparring sessions, don't get me wrong Groves has improved as a fighter but I think the occasion as well as the skill level would get to him. He just doesn't have Froch's skill level or confidence.

I agree, and that's exactly why that match up would be intriguing. tony bellew said he was surprised by cleverley's ability to take a punch, so i am not convinced Froch would have the same power once he moved up a weight. Anyhow pie in the sky at this point, we'll just have to hope they can get it on after their current commitments are fulfilled.Would be an interesting fight, Cleverley being very technical but lacking any real knockout power and Froch having brilliant KO power but perhaps not quite having the same level of finesse as Cleverley (debatable).
It would also be interesting to see what happens to Froch's power with the step up in weight. Personally going on Cleverley's last couple of fights he needs a step up in level as I think he's stagnating, whether he has another level in him is yet to be seen however and fighting Froch would answer a lot of those questions one way or the other.
I do however think that Cleverley Vs Hopkins is the fight that the Cleverley camp really want at this point.
David Price stopped again by Tony Thompson. Price is chinny and has shown shockingly poor durability. I am wondering where he goes from here.

Fury still has to agree... nothing is done simply when it comes to boxing...I remember the time people were actually trying to say Price was a quality fighter
Fury/Haye is officially announced for September 28th. Entertainment ahead!
he has agreed to the fight now.Fury still has to agree... nothing is done simply when it comes to boxing...
A fight where I despise both fighters! I suppose I want Haye to win it considering he's actually quite good and has done far more than Fury, who is a classless prickhe has agreed to the fight now.
could not agree with you more.A fight where I despise both fighters! I suppose I want Haye to win it considering he's actually quite good and has done far more than Fury, who is a classless prick
Just watched them on Ringside, Fury is an absolute arse.I see a 2min clip of that conference, Fury is a funny cnut in it I want him to win, find him quite likeable and down to earth tbh. Shit boxer though.
Are they?Brook says he wouldn't mind Matthysse or Broner next fight. Needs to be realistic, those fights are a no go
