    What about Edwin Valero? Maybe his current situation has something to do with it. Has he been clear to fight in the US???

      Yeah, Froch doesn't have a great record, but Manfredo and Bika do???
      Bika has been in the ring with Calzaghe and Bute. And Manfredo has been in the ring with Lacy and Calzaghe. Even though they lost, its still better then beating some guy thats 14-14.

        he is probably both.

        Anyone know if he will stay fighting on ITV? That could be good for him. Unfortunately for him his only fight was against some polish dude who they blatantly picked of a building site, his entire corner were wearing jeans.

          What do you think mate. Honestly. The guy was P4P material, before Pavlik.

            You can't say that. No one can say that. Nothing proves it.

            He has a padded record.

              I don't think Taylor was ever P4P Material, he almost lost Cory Sinks and Winky Wright, and he looked **** against Ouma..

              And he should have lost 1 of the Hopkins fights.

                Debateable, but irrelevant considering that Froch has beaten people with better records than that.

                You want to talk resumes, but the fact is that Bika and Manfredo do not have better resumes.

                I'm not sure why you're arguing the point about Manfredo anyway, as you have him ranked below Froch as well.

                  Yeh they do. Theres no comparison. While both may have come up short. There level of opposition is greater.

                  So your saying Calzaghe and Lacy aren't better than Robin Reid?

                    He was rated top 4 P4P. Even number 2 i think.

                      So does Manny Pacquiao become a top 3 Welterweight simple cos he's in the top 3 P4P?

                      Whats Taylor's pedigree at SuperMiddleweight? **** all..........so why does he rank as the 3rd best? Makes no sense at all.

                      And I dont agree that he was P4P material anyway. Very overrated at Middelweight alone
