    He CLEARLY doesn't belong. He recently had a fairly close war with an over the hill, never great Kessler. Then he goes and gets EMBARRASSED by Groves who was a huge underdog. I realize there aren't any british fighters to get excited about but please, Froch is not a p4p fighter.

    There are MANY more deserving fighters than Froch for that 10th spot. Mikey Garcia anyone? He is miles ahead of Froch in terms of skill and potential.

    Froch and for that matter Marquez need to go.

    froch has never sniffed my p4p top whatever list.
    my list would have to be top 100 or 150 for him to even come close.
    i just dont see anything special about him, never have never will. his greatest asset per his fans is his chin and toughness which isnt even that great from what ive seen.

    could be considered great if you'r comparing his chin to like a groves or broner jones jr type chins but i seen him really hurt too many times for his chin to be anything to talk about

    Because he's a WARRIOR! I'll never get the hype around this guy, he's horrible to watch and he's had too many come from behind victories, life and death struggles, and just plain undeserved wins for my liking. His only dominant performances against decent comp that I can recall are Abraham and Bute, that's it.

    :deal

    Who gives a **** if he's rarely dominant. It's about winning, not dominating. He's fought at a high level, never gives up, and usually finds a way to win.

    Exactly.

    He doesn't deserve anything close to top 10 p4p.

    I don't know how they come up with these lists. I wouldn't put him in my top 10. He'd probably be in my top 20 though.

    The p4p list should be reserved for those capable of putting in convincing performances against credible opposition on a consistent basis, not those who find a way to win.

    If you have to rely on your opponent gassing, corrupt judging and bad stoppages to find a path to victory sorry you don't belong on that list.

    I agree, and by that logic neither Sergio Martinez nor Manny Pacquiao belong on that list anymore either.
