    Yes and no, it depends in what way you mean.

    If we're talking about names on paper then Froch is certainly the greatest name he has on his record.

    But for where they were at the time, and the kind of rivalry they sort of developed over two fights, his Kovalev fights will be his most talked about and most remembered fights, Kovalev at the time Ward beat him, was bigger in the world of boxing than Carl Froch was at the time Ward beat him (although that is not the case now).

    Kessler was a better victory than Froch.

    Surely Paul Smith has to be his best win.

    I think you’re looking for a different OP to reply to. Try to stay on topic.

    Dawson wrote a Chequers he could not cash is what happened. He called Ward out and offered to come down in weight.

    Don't see any problem with that . Froch was a very tough and consistent champion. Kovalev was a great win for Ward, but even in the Chilemba fight raised question marks about Kovalev's grit. Kovalev's a strong starter, but if he's even slightly thrown off his rhythm he starts gradually falling apart. This happened in both Ward fights and in the Alvarez fight. Froch never had this problem. Froch was tough as nails for every round of a fight. Groves found this out the hard way twice.

    Could you tell me how long it had been since Dawson had fought at 168 & on the day of the weigh in how many pounds did he have to shed to make the weight? & please also explain what Dawson would go onto do post Ward? There's a good chap..

    How am I doing that? When my OP clearly states Froch went onto be a great fighter.. Are you feeling OK?!

    Could you tell me how long it had been since Dawson had fought at 168 & on the day of the weigh in how many pounds did he have to shed to make the weight? & please also explain what Dawson would go onto do post Ward? Try sticking with facts.. There's a good chap..

    Oh & BTW I've already stated in my post history that Ward got another (as well as Froch) great win over a great fighter in Kova (in the second fight) & picked Kova to go on & beat Alvarez too so how am saying he was crap after Ward beat him? Huge fail there pal..
