Why? Taylor beat Hopkins twice, Pavlic and Froch beat Taylor, that doesn't put Pavlic and Froch above Hopkins. Don't forget also, if Froch was to somehow beat Ward, he'd have beaten a man who totally and utterly destroyed Kessler in a one sided beat down. Ward wiped the floor with Kessler.
How do you get that? Is Ward a better win than Eubank? Undefeated Kessler Does Ward really have a greater resume than B Mitchell or J Lacy? One win doesnt go above 17 title victories over top 10 rated opposition
No, but it does not speak in Frochs favour either. If he does, yes then his Kessler loss versus Calzaghes Kessler win is evened out. But even though the thread title stipulates this, we know The Cobra is done far against Ward.
A note on the Woodhall win, he was cooked, he states that himself. It was one last throw of the dice for him. I think he went into it carrying an injury as well, could be wrong about that.
