    They say this...

    -- Carl Froch. The rugged Briton has gone 5-1 against an unheard-of gauntlet of big-name opponents since 2008, beating Jean Pascal, Jermain Taylor, Andre Dirrell, Arthur Abraham and Glen Johnson while losing only a disputed decision to Mikkel Kessler.
    then they say this:

    Froch is worthy of consideration now but has his fate in his own hands: If he beats No. 9 Andre Ward on Saturday in Atlantic City, N.J., it will be difficult to keep him out of the Top 10.
    yet they have Bradley sitting at 8?

      Being 7 feet tall and 250 lbs should not make someone a quality fighter, P4P. If he was the same size as the rest of the P4p'ers he would get smoked by most of them.

        Well to be fair, getting gifted by Dirrell, losing to Kessler and scraping by Johnson doesn't exactly qualify Froch for P4P now does it?

          I think Froch deserved it more with his crazy string of opponents. Rather Vital be in then Wlad but dont think they both should be in there since their is fighters winning in tougher divisons.

            Defeating overweight opponents outweighed by 10-20-30 pounds is not my idea of P4P, but if P4P has nothing to do with weight advantages, then this is overdue...

              While fighting lesser opponents at home and head-butting Kessler out of bout entitles Ward to a place?

              I guess poor old Froch has to do it the hard way - as usual.

                He should be on their instead of floyd and this is LONG overdue

                He is arguably the greatest HW ever

                  Froch doesn't have the skills of a Ward, but he's beating the best in his division, guys with real skills. I'd take Gamboa over either, but a case can certainly be made for Froch over Vitaly.....its very close in my opinion..

                      lol cue the violins. So being gifted a clear decision against a fighter with 16 fights is doing it the hard way?
