    If Frcoh can beat Ward then p4p is quite possible. What he has done so far in his last fights has got him noticed and thats just a start. Hes got his feet on the doorstep, and if he beats Ward, hes got the keys to the front door as well.

          Apart from the top spot, i don't see what the other 9 names on the list have done that sets them apart from Froch. I really don't.

          Nobody in the sport in their last 6 fights has faced top competition one after the other as good as Carl's resume.

          His style may not suit most, but his hunger and determination that makes him dig deeper for wins against the best does it for me.

            The only thing that I can see going against Froch in the P4P stakes is how he wins his fights. Most of the fighters (I can't say for all as I haven't seen everyone fight or all the fights) have won in dominating fashion and leave no questions. Froch hasn't been all that dominating in all his fights (controversial fight with Dirrell and dropping a decision to Kessler) so that is what might be keeping him back!

            Though I do agree that he has a very good resume and a better run than a lot of people on the P4P list but it's all just opinion, and at least Froch is getting some recognition from writers and fans, even if he isn't in the P4P list.

              But like Wlad, because of his nationality and race he'll need to be twice as good before they'll give him that recognition.

              Froch has sure done a lot more than Floyd from 2008 to 2011.
              Ok, so where does he rank on your list?

                    The main thing about the other guys on the list is that, especially the top guys) all beat another top pfp type fighter, which neither froch NOR ward has done.

                      His skin color is the only thing keeping him out of p4p top 5. Look at his resume and tell me he isn't great?

                      If he beats ward, he is p4p #1
