He beat Pascal to win the WBC belt and went over to America to defend it against the former undisputed Middleweight champion. He then defended the belt against one of the most promosing fighters in the world, Andre Dirrell. So if he beats Mikkel Kessler who is a former undisputed super middleweight surley he will be in the top 10 P4P !!
Depends how he does it. His resume will look impressive but i think his lack of skill will always hold him back from being a top p4per. Also Taylor was beating him and the Dirrell decision was controversial. Pascal was competitive. If he starts bombing out guys decisively and wins the super six, then yeah.
Well, thats how it works. Only ten guys from all of the weight divisions get on the list, most of them never get a chance to fight each other.
Not saying I would put Froch on the list for beating Kessler. I do, however, think a few of these super six fighters are going to deserve more recognition soon. They are fighting the toughest fights out of everybody in the sport right now.
I should rephrase what I said. I know it's sometimes impossible for guys to fight other P4P fighters, that's why the list exists. But what I don't understand is why is beating Kessler P4P worthy when Kessler himself is far from P4P himself and would have just lost 2 fights in a row.
I don't see why beating non-P4P fighters makes you a P4P fighter.

You make a good case but I think that we should wait until the Super Six is over so then it will be clear who the best 168lber is, then whoever the winner is can be probably top 5 P4P. For example, what good would it be to rank Froch today P4P #10 and then he loses his next potential match? (which he won't tho).
i see your point but he should still be recognised
