    It's funny how Ward has a crappier resume than Froch but yet Ward is in the P4P. Froch doesn't get much props like he should. Dude fights everyone and this is why he's one of my current favorite boxers.

        P4P lists are pretty subjective anyway.

        Froch doesn't automatically enter a lot of people's minds when compiling lists like this because of his rather crude and clumsy style, and the (erroneous) idea that P4P guys have to have a kind of slickness or athleticism to them to qualify. But I think if you were to include him on your own personal lists nobody would complain. He's more than justified a place there now.

            maybe because people felt Froch got some home cooking with Dirrell, while Ward dominated Kessler, the same kessler who beat Froch after a lost against Ward.

            He is still not a top 5 p4p because IMO Donaire, Marquez, Martinez, Pacquaio, bradley, wlad did much more than froch.

              Come on man, only 3 of the top 10 P4P are even American according to Ring. They have Wlad ranked 5th P4P......and only 3 out of the P4P top 10 are black.

                He didn't, he beat Dirrell, maybe if Dirrell wasn't running he would of had an easier case in winning. Also this triangle theory is just silly with Ward and Kessler. FYI many people thought Froch won against Kessler as well.

                How does Donaire have a better case? He's been beating up guys coming up in weight most of the time. All he really has is Montiel and Vic.

                    Whilst his resume is better, its not as big as you suggested....Wards best win is better than Froch's best win......

                      You're trying to go with the one win is better route lol. I rather go for someone with constant wins over good opponents than just go off one "big" win. Plus that "big" win that Froch didn't have against Kessler, many people thought Froch won.

                      Froch>>>>>>>Ward
