I rank Froch just one spot behind Ward. To me, they both are in the top ten. Ward has clearly beaten Kessler, Abraham, Green, and Bika..... he shows he fights on the inside, but can work on the outside, and for an aggressively dirty fighter, he is pretty slick... i.e. another B Hop but maybe more athletic than Hopkins in his youth.. Froch clearly has the best resume of all the super middleweights, with wins over a lot of good fighters and a close loss to Kessler. Has a chin and can bang... just super slow is all... So with that I have them around 8 & 9 or 9 & 10. YOU?????
N my top 15 would look something like 1. Pac 2. May 3.Martinez 4.JMM 5. Donaire 6.Wlad 7.Vitali 8.Ward 9.Froch 10.Bradley 11.Segura 12.Cotto-Khan-Gamboa-Pong-Nishioka
Andre about 8 and Froch about 12 give or take 1 Manny Pacquiao 7 Vitali Klitschko 13 Amir Khan 2 Floyd Mayweather 8 Andre Ward 1 4 Orlando Salido 3 Sergio Martinez 9 Timothy Bradley 15 Marcos Maidana 4 Nonito Donaire 10 Yuriorkis Gamboa 5 Juan Manuel Marquez 11 Lucian Bute 6 Wladimir Klitschko 12 Carl Froch
Kessler beat Froch and has only ever lost to Calzaghe and Ward... surely he should be top 10... and at least as high as Froch.
I don't have a set list but I would Froch a little higher than ward and possibly sneaking into the top 10. I expect ward to win in December though
Why is Timmy rated so high? Are you guys proud of the opponent he's chosen to fight? Shouldn't #2 fighter (some even say 1) in his division fight someone in the top 10 rather than a faded 1 rated 30th?
man i hear what your saying but he won his fight with devon alexander and yes it was a terrible fight but he's undefeated and is in the top two at junior welterweight and while he should be fighting a real opponent this is how top rank does business they over protect their fighters

Pacquaio (due to activity) Mayweather Marquez Martinez Donaire Wlad K Gamboa Ward Khan Vitali Froch Hopkins Cotto Bradley Chris John I refuse to put Bute in until he fights a top calliber fighter.
No way is Bradley in the top ten anymore, especially after his shameful duckage of Khan and only recently beating a guy that most thought lost to Kotelnik.
1.pac 2.mayweather 3.martinez 4.donaire 5.jmm 6.wlad 7.vitali 8.hopkins 9.gamboa 10.segura 11.ward 12.bradley 13.froch 14.khan 15.nishioka
But who has Kessler beat in the last two years outside of Froch??.. no one.. he's been super inactive........... and might have lost a step so I don't think anyone rates him highly today.... He even refused to face Bute
I'm up for the challenge: 1. Pacman 2. Mayweather 3. Martinez 4. JMM 5. Donaire 6. W. Klitschko 7. K. Klitschko 8. Ward 9. Froch 10. Bradley 11. Segura 12. Cotto 13. Khan 14. Noshioka 15. Gamboa 16.
