    I think Froch is an absolute twat with a personality to match.Can't wait for Ward to knock the cockiness out of this *****.

    I think it is all up in the air in regards to rankings. If you rank on accomplishment alone then froch is no.1 in that he has good experience. For me Ward and Bute look the goods but are still reasonably untested.

    well you dont have the amateur career he did without being able to box, a lot of people seem to forget that.

    Actually six. Deserving or not, Zuniga and Brinkley were ranked #10 when Bute beat them.

    I was talking about Bika, Berrio, and Andrade twice.

    But as Brick pointed out, he has 6 wins over top10 SMWs, 4 of them dominant KO's while ahead on scorecards

    He wasn't referring to Miranda or Brinkley. I assume he was referring to Andrade (twice), Bika and Berrio (who was a real, reigning beltholder, something Froch has never beaten).

    I've come to like Froch more, but I can't stand his idiot fans. Froch is a tough, usually entertaining fighter who is willing to fight away from home and take on hard competition. Those are all admirable qualities. But I still only have him ranked #4 in the division, and it took his win over Abraham to get me to move him up from #5. I think Ward, Bute and Kessler all have better resumes than he does, even if he has the strongest schedule.

    yea I can see why Kessler fans would have a problem with Kessler ranking lower than Froch, when Kessler's last fight was a win over Froch.

    I think Froch had a bit too much to say about Calzaghe and i think he over rates himself and some of his recent performances but other than that ive no problem with him, his style is guna struggle with any top level boxer like Taylor and Dirrel showed (i know he won) but he is all heart and grit and i cant not like a boxer that gives it all their heart and grit.
