Ok mine all were all Brits- or Canadian Brits. I think Kesselr is decent and also Ottke, and probably top of the tree are the Klitschkos.

Past it Glenn Johson still better all but one American SMs
Taylor beat Hopkins who aftwards had the best wins of his career.
And Pascal beat not so bad Chad.

Glenn Johnson is past his best, but still a good opponent. Outside of the very top guys (Hopkins, Dawson, Ward, perhaps Bute) he'll give anybody at 175 or 168 a tough night (read: Tavoris Cloud) and Froch beat him handily.
Taylor's propensity to gas late on doesn't render a victory over him entirety meaningless. And I'd dispute your claim that Hopkins was well past it at the time of their fights. Anything Hopkins has lost in terms of athleticism over the course of his career (and he was never a particularly athletic fighter, at any rate) he's made up for in guile and ring savvy.
Pascal is similar to Froch in that in many ways he's a limited fighter, but let's not ignore that after losing to Froch he went to beat an excellent fighter in Chad Dawson. He also presented significant problems to Hopkins in their first fight, at least early on. So, another decent win for Froch.
Add Kessler and Abraham to the list and it's clear that Froch's level of opposition has been very solid.
