It's a P4P ranking, Broner has just moved up to 135 and beaten a champion. Thus proving his P4P ability, Froch has not.

Not even counting the rest of his resume but Bute doesn't count???

He's proven himself at 2 weights, he's more qualified for a P4P ranking then someone who's stayed at one weight. Not to mention Froch lost to the 2 best in his division.

I couldn't see how anyone would have Froch higher tbh.

No one.

He doesn't have any big names on his resume at the moment, he beat some good fighters at 130. Good win in DeMarco and is now a 2-weight world champion.

Froch has beat better..... 2x titlist sounds so disrespectful when you take into account the opponent he beat for that belt at 30... Props for the DeMarco win even though Bute was better

His win PDL 'win' looks a lot better now that he's picked up a title at 130 too. Froch may have beaten better boxers at his weight but Broner's travelled, proving his P4P ability.

Just so we're clear....

Beating better fighters at one weight < Beating inferior fighters at 2 weights???

[gmc_rfc_06]

Jumping weight classes isn't something I consider all that important.

If your actual weight class is packed full of top opposition like Froch's is, then it's actually irrelevant IMO. Broner has won belts in two divisions, but he still hasn't beat a top fighter, so it's not really important.

Look, it's a P4P rating, you know what that means right?

Froch's win over Bute is only marginally better than Broner's over DeMarco, the rest of Froch's resume doesn't create a clear between him and Broner either. Froch lost to the two best in his division, he's the third best at 168.

Broner was arguably #1 at SFW and possibly LW too.
