    If he beats Bute, rematches and beats Andre, would you rank him above Calzaghe?

    Froch stated he has no interest in a Ward rematch.

    1. He cant beat Bute

    2. He cant beat Ward

    3. He already lost to Ward and Kessler, no way he's gonna be ranked above Calzaghe.

    But, he has the biggest heart out of them all and he deserves respect.

    If Froch beats Bute he "has one horseshoe and needs three more and the horse".Cause he has to go in Montreal where he`ll lose for sure.To have a chance over Calzaghe he needs to beat Ward, Kessler and Bute twice in order to have a chance to meet the first two.But if this would happen he would still have two defeats and some would say :wait a minute, Kessler was unbeaten and in his prime with Calzaghe.So he already lost the train to stand with the welsh.

    I don't remember him saying that, in fact I remember him saying the opposite.

    That's a mighty big assumption...

    What if Bradley beats Pac and after that beats Floyd will he be the P4P #1?

    On whether he would be interested in pursuing a rematch with Ward for a unification match in the event he beats Bute:

    “Absolutely not if I’m totally honest. I think Andre Ward steps up to light heavyweight anyway, so I don’t think a unification fight with Andre Ward is there. Because of the reasons I’ve said about Ward I’ve got no aspirations or desire to fight him. I don’t like that style of fighting! I got no respect for it. It’s obviously very effective with what he does, but let’s be honest. He’s not very exciting, and I’m an exciting type of fighter. I’m in there to entertain, I’m in there to please the television, put bums on seats, and get the crowd going. And a fight with Andre Ward, anybody against Andre Ward, it’s never going to happen. Look at all of his fights. They’re all the same.”

    Listen to the most recent On The Ropes. He says no interest as he thinks Ward will step up to 175 and it would be boring.

    Froch is a glorified gatekeeper.

    Based on what ?
    A close loss to Kessler,in a fight Froch could have won if he was more active and less arrogant.
    A loss to Ward,who is already a ranked p4p fighter and considered one of the best ever in the division.

    Froch is not and never will be an ATG,he is not the most technically gifted,and at times his defense is almost non existent,but you cannot knock a fighter for winning all but two fights and then only losing to two top tier opponents.
