If Froch beats Abraham, does he have the best resume in the SMW division?

No, but if he loses to Abraham, there's a strong case for him having the worst resume of a world-class fighter at SMW.

 

Frochs SMW resume is impressive with a faded R Reid, B Magee (now European champ), Pascal (WBC LHW champ) & Taylor. I dont count the Dirrell win as any more than beating an untested, undeserving fighter, but Dirrell was undefeated and now has a DQ win over a former MW champ with no big wins and no real SMW resume, so with that in mind, if Froch beats AA, id say he would still have the second best SMW resume overall to Kessler, due to Kesslers wins over Siaca, Mundine, Lucas, Beyer, Andrade (undefeated), Sartison, Haussler & Froch.
Not saying who is best but for resumes only id say it goes something like Kessler, Froch & then possibly Steiglitz and then Bute and then Ward for best SMW resumes

 

No, cause Abraham would have beaten Froch and Dirrell had beaten Abraham and had a very close fight with Froch. Bute, Kessler and Ward would all have better resumes. Andrade would be the only other world class fighter with a worse resume than Froch.

 

Close between Froch and Kessler.

 

Froch already has the best resume by a bit and people hate his style and claim he is **** but wins over Pascal, Taylor Reid and Dirrel aswell as a close loss to Kessler prove his quality.

 

I think so at worst he becomes the favorite .How does that work then would he get another fight with Dirrell then if he did ?

 

Well, I tend to regard resume as who is on your career list, not necessarily whether you beat them or not. So Holyfield imo has a great resume even though he has losses to Lewis, Ruiz, Moorer etc - he fought absolutely everyone out there.


However, if we're talking wins, I guess Froch has a good shout for best resume - maybe not for long though if people like Ward and Dirrell pick up similar wins over Abraham, Froch, each other etc.

But then again if someone goes out and manages to sign up and beat Bute then maybe they'd have the best ..

 

Dirrell was robbed. How was he undeserving? Steiglitz is a bum and hasn't fought anyone.

 

resume-wise, i agree

his only losses are against the great Calzaghe and the next great Ward
He just beat Froch, has many more fights and wins than Froch
He was the co-favorite of the Super6. Froch has a narrow split-decision win over Dirrell w/ hometown advantage and a loss to Kessler in the Super6. Im not sure how this looks good vs Kessler's resume....

 

hands down without a doubt

:good

froch may not have all the skills but he is a throwback to fighting anyone , anytime and actually doing it....im from the u.s and froch is def my favorite fighter right now....

 

stfu with the head butting ****....im sick of all you pussies making an excuse for a guy who feasted on mediocre fighters his whole career, whos name is the viking warrior and gets "roughed up by a "golden boy pure boxer pretty boy?"" hahaha get over it :rofl

 

he's not gonna beat abraham

unless the fight is in england

 

Does Taylor count? If so...I'd probably say he has a deeper resume than them all. I know the majority of his career has been at 160lbs...but if you look at the names on his resume, he has clearly been in with the greater opposition...win or lose.
