How was Froch the more accomplished fighter? He'd lost to a past it Kessler, arguably lost to Dirrell, struggled with Taylor.
The simple FACT of the matter is Froch has the better wins in Kessler, Dirrell, Pascal [BEFORE KANvalev] and Taylor [Who also beat Hopkins BEFORE KANvalev]. Hence, Froch is the more accomplished fighter. 1 + 1 = 2
You neglect to mention that Froch/Pascal was a competitive back and forth affair. Kovalev DESTROYED Pascal. Again... Dawson was a great fighter at one point, but Ward chose to drain him instead of moving up to 175 where the fight would have actually mattered. I'll repeat this because it seemed to completely fly over your head. In his very next fight he was sparked inside of a round, then he went on to lose to mediocre Karpency. Stevenson outright ducked the very same Hopkins Kovalev beat, and there's no way even a 50 year old BHOP would lose to someone like Karpency. Dawson was clearly faded, and the weight cut certainly didn't help him. So again. Wards resume while better the gap isn't anywhere as wide as you're making it out to be. Take your head out of your ass and learn to ****yze things like a normal person.
Campillo, Cleverly, Hopkins, and Pascal twice. All world champions. Now, you just learned something new about boxing. Now log off newb
And Pavlik destroyed Taylor once and beat him again, completely softening him up for Froch, and Hopkins destroyed Pavlik. So :finger5
DOESN'T MATTER. Froch beat Pascal FIRST *and* has MORE names on his resume. Thus, Froch is the more accomplished fighter. 1 + 1 = 2 Weight Drained Dawson is still better than a *50* year old Hopkins.
Froch has wins over Taylor, Pascal, Dirrell, Bute, Kessler - all world champions AND higher caliber fighters overall than KANvalev's resume..
Thank you for pointing that out Captain Obvious. However, the point STILL stands. Froch's resume is better than KANvalev's...

Simakov, Thompson, Campillo, White, Cleverly, Sillakh, Agnew, Caparello, Hopkins, Pascal, Mohammedi, Chilemba Show me one tomato can in the last five years?
