    Maybe since Lennox Lewis....


    But he did lose his two biggest fights.....however his competition since 2008 has been brutal.

    bravest fighter without any doubt. not even close. lennox essentially fought like a coward and was boring although was more talented.

    he puts pussys like mayweather to shame.

    For what it's worth, I think Froch loses to Eubanks and Calzaghe (primes). Calzaghe, especially, has the perfect style to murder Froch...

    However, he is 6-2 in eight straight elite fights. There are literally NO question marks with him: we know how he fairs against ALL of his peers. Ward is too quick over twelve, Kessler and Froch fought a tough, close fight but Froch beats the rest of his peers. Behind Lewis, maybe, no-one bar Jimmy Wilde (from way back when) can claim the same quality of resume.

    Froch is a British boxing legend.

    There is nothing negative to say about Froch. Unlike that pussy homo jailbird Gayweather, he talks shit and backs it up. Dude has one of the best levels of competition in recent memory.

    Very hard to say. I think, in his favour, is the sheer volume of big names on his resume, how he has beaten them, and when he has beaten them. He beat Pascal, then Pascal beat Dawson. That's a massive massive feather in his cap. That sequence alone puts Carl Froch square in the middle of any discussions about fights that are taking place in the division above him. Not only are we preoccupied with his place at 168....but he has a dog in the race at 175 too, without even having fought there. He also did something Haye and Khan did not do, and even Hatton to an extent, he totally cleared out the domestic scene. Dodson, Magee, Reid, Matt Barney, etc....all bar Calzaghe, and that was a question of timing, not avoidance, both men were on different tacks at that stage.

    I'd say he is right up there, its a matter of taste and semantics after that, personally.

    He's overtaken Hatton, too many big names, too many big wins, an equally pleasing style, and no embarrassing defeats.

    I think Steve Collins could have beaten Froch, but Froch is a far greater fighter.

    Froch isn't finished yet either. Watch this space.

    it's good he never had the box office pull of hatton, khan, hamed, slappy, eubank - otherwise there'd have been some asshole promoter convincing him to stay put and fight tocker pudwills his whole career.

    Froch is a complete legend.

    I'd like to see him fight Groves.

    Well now, we need REVISIONISM, HOMEY, the question is, will the Vial Ward ever leave his bottles at home long enough. cHINEse WhisPERS homey....Ward sweats gear. You just knew they wouldn't be able to celebrate somebody elses birthday without bringing up their own one first.

    RECENCY.

    Nonsense, he is a Polish Jew by origin. He even looks like a Jewish Farmer.

    Has there ever been a Jewish Farmer ever? If so, how would one know how what he one would look like. Froch looks like a Brit to me. Hideous people.

    Froch's alleged Jewishness is necessary, it makes people like Kellerman do the unthinkable and root for dee whiteboy.

    In all seriousness though, Frock is as Jewish as Ward is black.

    If Ward is considered a black guy, Frock has to be considered a Jewish guy.

    Ward is clearly a black man. He is no more than a 1/4 white.

    Ward looks very much 50/50 to me, he must be half white, half black, and half down syndrome.
