Froch: Reid, Pascal, Taylor, Abraham, Dirrell*, Johnson
Hatton: Kostya, Maussa, Collazo, Urango, Castillo*, Malignaggi
I'll go with Froch at this point. -

Hatton beat an old Tszyu but still Tszyu, which is better than anything on Froch's resume right now. Froch's best win is the Abraham fight, I think. Maybe the Taylor fight. Hatton's only two losses are to top 10 all-time fighters. Froch dropped a close one to Kessler and clearly lost to Dirrell. It's Hatton right now. But if Froch beats Ward, it's probably even.Comment

Imo where Hatton falls down is that if you take off Pac/May (which you have to, there was nothing in those fights to "add" to his resume) you are left with old Tszyu who unfortunatley retired straight after so didnt "seal" hattons victory with any form afterwards, so you are left with Urango, Collazo, Maglinaggi and co who are all a step down from Taylor, Pascall, Dirrell, Abraham and Johnson imo.Hatton beat an old Tszyu but still Tszyu, which is better than anything on Froch's resume right now.

Froch could have battered a bunch of guys like Steigletz, Andrade, Green, magee etc, basically gone the bute route and had abraham, pascall and johnson in between and that would be simmilar to hattons resume, but he has gone back to back to back against former champs and come out looking good, something hatton never came close to doingComment

completely agree with this, especially the part about tszyu. i knew people would take notice of the cobra if he just kept on doing what hes been doing.Imo where Hatton falls down is that if you take off Pac/May (which you have to, there was nothing in those fights to "add" to his resume) you are left with old Tszyu who unfortunatley retired straight after so didnt "seal" hattons victory with any form afterwards, so you are left with Urango, Collazo, Maglinaggi and co who are all a step down from Taylor, Pascall, Dirrell, Abraham and Johnson imo.
