Who is the "Hardest" in the sport today?

First topic message reminder :

Hey fight fans. We have a great night on Saturday (apart from Kell Brook fighting a bum) with the Ward vs Froch fight..................I have been watching Froch in training and he is looking ferocious.
He has a granite chin and always has a scrap.

Who in your minds is the hardest boxer today in terms of who he fights, how he fights and how he takes his win/loss?

Mine would have to be between Froch and Katsidis.

If i were to ever get into a scrap with them at a bar i would literally s**t myself!

Cheers.

Small world. One of my grand daughters has just taken up Origami, also.

Isn't that dangerous for pensioners?

Not nearly so dangerous as taking the mick out of an old man who hasn't yet taken his first Horlicks of the day. Why, I feel as powerful as though I were 6ft.2ins., 14 stone, and the rootinest, tootinest, toughest kung fuer in cyberspace.

Wanna keyboard fight?

Only if you remove your escape button. Also your insert and enter buttons. I'm a happily married man. Reckon someone pressed Num lock on Lovely London and now he's stuck with an Iron chastity belt? all this aggression has to come from somewhere.

Nice one. Can't follow that, so you win.

This time.

I donate this to Luton Town Football - as long as I don't have to attend our next match

Why would you go see them? I'll wager they don't visit you when you're sick.

I go because it always amuses me to see you play for the other team

You guys are acting as if both guys will stand there and say 'ok we will throw one punch each and whoever throws the hardest punch will win the fight'.

I would argue the opposite, that you are the one who has none or very little experience of street fighting.

As stated previously, I work a police district with one of the highest violent crime rates in the country. I've just woken up from a night shift, and at 3am I was fighting in a pub with the locals, which ended with one poor lad getting glassed. I'm back on again tonight, and expect another fight at one point. It's a rare week when I don't fight.
Most fights are over with a single punch or two, and one guy is either down or runs off. There is almost always an initial point of squaring up, puffing out the chest, and waving the arms, and shouting. This is the warning sign period, where you are realtively safe because they are not about to do anything. When the arms drop, the eyes break away, and the shouting stops, get ready. This is the danger period.
Any trained or experienced fighter can read these warning signs like a book, and knows when to expect a punch and when to pre-emptively strike somebody, especially a clumsy windmilled punch from a rat faced peasant.
Step back, counter punch, game over, is the result when I've pros against yobs.

Maybe they roll on the floors in London, but in the 300-400 fights I've been involved with they usually don't.

It's usually drunk people or people who don't know who to fight who end up rolling about on the floor. Real fights with real fighters only take one punch.
