    Yeah more similar to Soto, though he rarely fights true potential elites these days, and 175 is to barren for Pascal to be placed in a similarposition. If Froch was in that division he would probably be top 3 of that division, though still probably not p4p elite.

    How bout cunningham

    split with Diablo, beat Huck, lost to Adamek, lost to Hernandez, beat that Canadian guy who was in Cinderella man cant remember the name

    in other words hes mixed it up with the best and is an elite who can root out who is and isnt

    Valid case, but then again he beat Huck in a close but clear victory and Huck is amongst the top 3 of that division and his fight with Povetkin only saw his stock rise further

    its not a perfect example but its in the ball park

    kind of a tough thing to categorize

    an elite who fights lots of top class guys and wins some loses some to reveal where the other guys are at

    yep, I think it just fits very well with Froch seeing where his past opponents have gone onto since facing him
