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.
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.
Chris Eubank beats Froch in ATG list I'd say.

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
ottke and calzaghe are tied forever as the best super middleweights of all time. YOU KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE!

That's so ridiculous because at 173 he would fall under the lt heavys and JCC's child is nowhere near the legends at that weight. At any weight the Froch murders JCC's boy I would legitimately fear for his safety.
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.
Fatty Ward can't make SMW anymore.

Froch: is that water you're drinking? you know they served water at Wembly when i defeated Groves in front of 80K people
Froch: the weather is nice today...kinda like the day i beat Groves in front of 80K people at Wembly
That reminds me of the time he defeated George Groves in front of 80,000 fans at Wembly stadium.
:lol1: :no:
He defeated George F*ckin' Groves in front of 80,000 fans at Wembly stadium; he can retire happy
