    Garcia has a good resume with Khan and Matthysse on it. Morales was faded, but had given Maidana a good fight and Judah was faded but gave Garcia a good fight.
    I dont think Garcia has done as much as Froch and is still a fair way off, but that could change. One thing that isnt noted though, is the travelling Froch has done, which I doubt Garcia will do.
    Consider at one time Froch was fighting away in 5 out of 6 fights in one stretch, which, i think takes its toll and had Froch fatigued at the end.
    Are they HOF worthy? Well thats down to the experts

    I think Froch is defo worthy of the hall. It's not just about accomplishments, there is no set criteria for the Hall (hence Sly Stallone doesn't have a great resume in boxing :yep) and can somewhat of a popularity contest at times.

    But consider the other factors: Froch has won in one of the biggest fights in UK history that sold out Wembley in minutes, he's traveled the globe, got himself a rabid fanbase, challenged himself like very few do in boxing these days, won a few fights as the underdog, got to the super 6 final, been in some thrilling fights, he gives us fights we demand, and had epic rivalries with Groves and Kessler, got in The Ring's pound for pound list.

    It's not really just a case of what you have done in boxing, it's also a case of what you have done for boxing. And I think Froch is one of the outstanding candidates amongst active fighters.


    I also very much doubt you'd see Froch now he's reached the top would waste every bodies time and hard earned cash fighting a bum like Garcia did the other week.

    Froch has fought at least 9 ex/current beltholders, who knows what else they'll achieve in the future. I'll include Groves too. The only thing Garcia has over Froch at this moment in time is he is the main man in his division, Froch isn't (its Ward).

    Explain your reasoning? The guy has the best current boxing CV bar maybe Hopkins. Multi time belt holder, mostly fought in opponents back yard in his big fights and only ever beaten by one man named Ward. Revenged his other defeat in Kessler.

    DSG current resume is extremely impressive, specially as you pointed out by his age....I am not sold on CF's resume as of yet...he need a couple of more marquee wins to solidify his legacy...

    I remember b4 the last Paq fight ppl were saying Bradley is alrdy HOF bound.....

    Hall of fame fighters are fighters who achieve a lot over prolonged career or have something that bit special....

    Garcia atm has neither

    I may add that some recent additions to the HOF have diluted the prestige of it a bit, mainly Arturo Gatti, if Gatti gets in ALOT of so called champs r in with a chance

    The HOF has diluted itself, but IMO Arturo Gatti needed to be inducted, his body of work was not bad, even though he lost to all top tier boxers he faced...but he brought everything he got to every march ...he gave everything he got and more...he was good for boxing...and for that reason and to respect his heart and futz...he needed to be inducted!

    Garcia has had a nice career thus far but is NOT on Froch's resume yet. Get out of here with that nonsense. Froch IS A BAD BOY!
