Froch will retire as a top 5 ATG at 168lbs

The cobra has passed on a fight with Degale virtually ending any chance he will fight again. Looking back on his career the man with a fairly limited skill set but great stamina and chin made it huge at supermiddle. Only 1 fighter has ever shown dominance over Froch and considering the level of his competition that's an amazing accomplishment. Imo he is the 5th best supermiddle ever and can hold his head high in retirement. My top 5 at 168 1) Calzaghe 2) ward 3) RJJ 4) Collins 5) Froch He's in great company and will likely be hall of fame in about 5 years. We salute you Mr Froch.

Greed

His resume would put him there even though h2h he wouldn't rank as high.I think Ward will end up at #1 as he doesn't seem to be in a rush to go up to 175 and can still fight guys like DeGale, Groves, Ramirez before he moves up.

Eubank has exactly 2 good names on his winning resume. Nothing compared to Froch. PS Froch's resume would also take a steaming dump on Khan's. Exactly. Eubank is stupidly overrated.

I'd like to see a super middleweight with a better resume than Froch. Undefeated Dirrell Undefeated Pascal Undefeated Bute Undefeated Ward loss Kessler 1-1 Undefeated Groves 2-0 Jermain Taylor More or less undefeated Abraham Glen Johnson

I have a hard time seeing anyone above Froch at 168 in terms of resume let alone 3-4 others.

The cobra on the other hand has only 3 maybe 4 (imo) fighters ever that could beat him at 168lbs and theres a very strong chance he would demolish Ward in a rematch given the huge layoff.
