    Froch is your average joe, a victory over Dawson is superior in terms of legacy.

      maybe if he fought him in england
      i mean hopkins had never left his home country
      and they say chris john is protected at least he has fought out of his home country

        No it wont, it will just reiterate his defensive liabilities, getting the super middle title is what enhances his legacy though.

          hell yeah its another strap in another weight class. Why not it should be exciting.

          Adamek really screwed the pooch on this one. If he would have fought and beaten Bernard he would be earning million dollar paydays

            Froch and enhance legacy should never be used in the same sentence

              Becoming a three weight World Champ will carry more weight than having Froch's name on his ledger. He could always hope Froch goes on to greater things after he fights Bernard. The way Bernard's name looks great on Roy's resume now but eant very little at the time

                      I'd say winning a 5th major title in a third (second really, since all Tarver had was the IBO) weight class of course enhances his legacy. How much depends on what Froch does for the rest of his career.
