Dean Francis.

He destroyed David Starie, yet Starie went the distance against 2 Super Middleweight legends (Ottke and Calzaghe) and arguably should have got the decision against one of them (Ottke).

Yes Deano isn't the fighter he once was (due to his shoulder problems) but he is still capable of taking out top competition on a good night. He remains a very dangerous opponent for anyone.

Mr Thompson,
It's about time you went back to working at the ticket office at the O2.
You know zero about this sport.
Keep taking the hand outs young man.
You need them.

Colin Lynes, Jamie Moore, and I agree Napa is underrated. Tidy little fighter, great defence, worked hard.

i agree with ian napa hes got the skills to compete at top level but unfortunately not the punch to command respect

Dean Francis was a real force before but clearly his injury has put an end to his world title aspirations.He struggled with tony oakey whos tough but limited.

no one can deny that hatton is genuine world class and finally carl froch is the most OVERATED fighter in this country.he is sloppy,defensively inept and has a poor workrate.He will get beaten when he fights for a version of the world title

Agree with all but the "he'll be beaten" part.

I think that he will win the title because the division is so devoid of world class ability.

I said Froch vs Lacy would be a good close fight and got slated by somebody on another thread for it, they said Froch was to skillful and powerful for a one dimensional Lacy

I think Froch would give all of these guys a rough time & at least we know he certainly wouldn't be avoiding anybody. He has made it clear that he will be willing to face all comers.

im sure froch would give the boxers listed above a tough time.Hopefully when he fights someone who is among the best in the division he has the ability to change my views about him.

The fact that he claimed to be the best athlete in great britain and would beat calzaghe by KO has made me expect more than what he has delivered so far againsts suspect opposition.
