If Froch beats Bute is he a HOF?

pturtle

He would already have a better resume then Joe Calzaghe and He was only dominated once. Bute, Johnson, Taylor, Dirrel, Pascal, Abraham. There is probably only one HOF on the list but should he take a hit because he fought top guys in their prime instead of getting washed up old men on his list?

Bute is going to tear his head off, imo.

It's certainly possible.

Brian Magee, Jean Pascal (Top 10 SMW), Jermain Taylor (Top 10 SMW), Andre Dirrell (Top 10 SMW), Arthur Abraham (Top 10 SMW), and Glen Johnson (Top 10 SMW). A win over Lucian Bute (IBF SMW champ/#1 SMW) would make him a 3x SMW champ and really boost his resume.

If he were to beat Bute and than avenge his Kessler loss and beat him, I'd say he gets in possibly. People have gotten in by doing less.

This thread reminds me of how good Frochs resume is. Win or lose sat, still a good resume. And im sure hell move up soon to 175 and fight the toughest there. Cloud vs Froch anyone ? Ive come to respect him over the years.

I would say so.

He has literally fought every top fighter at 168. Hes been in the ring with every single one of them.

If he beats BUte, you gotta put him top 3 smw all time. Above RJJ and Toney.

he can probably get in who knows. IBHOF and the other world boxign hall of fame have pretty low standards. So maybe froch can get in.

I just really wanted to post that gif to be honest with you.

Absolutely.

No, he's my favorite Super Middleweight fighter all time, but he needs more at this point than just beating Bute.
