    But, it seems people are beginning to discredit the wins over Taylor and Abraham now.

    Yet, he was the underdog in both fights and a large majority of writers and fans were picking him to lose both of those fights.

    Same with Bute.
    Where they,which ones??I thought he always won his belts off of a fighter..

          It's all good man.

          If Froch rematches Kessler and beats him convincingly, I think he should get in.

            on the "young" part..
            bute is 32.
            abraham was 30

            again, i'll literally repost my reply from earlier


            froch lost to the two best fighters he fought

            faded kessler and andre ward

            glen johnson is ancient. he's been old for years
            abraham SUCKS. he sucks. the guy's claim to fame is getting his jaw broken by edison miranda and knockout out jermain taylor's corpse.
            other than beating the most one dimensional fighter to win a MW championship (abraham,) dirrel has done next to nothing. and he almost beat froch.
            taylor was never the same after losing to kelly pavlik and fighting a bigger man (JT is fighting at MW today. he's clearly a smaller man than froch.)


            were you watching miguel cotto pre margarito 1?
            i dont want to dig, but i dont think you guys remember just how good he was.

            he was one of the planet's best fighters. you have boxrec. look at the resume for yourself. cotto's a borderline hall of famer in my book, but was a better and more accomplished fighter than carl froch.

              not trying to dig, but asking an honest question


              there really isnt any comparing the two fighters.

              and margarito 2 is not his second best win.
              don't try to teach me to suck eggs im not new to this game, i have followed Cottos career for a long time and consider myself a fan.

              The facts are Froch has beat better opposition i really dont know what your basing it on saying there isn't any comparing the two fighters like Cotto is on another level that is just laughable.

                It does not change the fact Froch has fought more prime fighters the Cotto,with more consistency then Cotto..There is no denying if your saying Cotto is going to the HOF,Froch should be a shoe in...

                  i'm not saying cotto should get into the hall of fame

                  i dont vote people in to the hall of fame.

                  i'm saying that i dont think froch should get in, and earlier on i called cotto a borderline case under the current standards. i dont think miguel cotto should get in to the hall of fame either, but i tend to think i keep a higher standard than the consensus, which is fine.

                      What did Miguel Cotto do pre Margarito 1 to say he's greater than Carl Froch?

                      Miguel Cotto lost to the 2 best fighters he fought.

                      Like I said in an earlier post;

                      How many fighters have fought top ranked opposition, 5 years in a row, back to back, and won all but 2 of them? 3 of those wins being the clear underdog?

                      I can't think of another fighter in history who you can say that about.

                      Cotto's resume is hardly superior to Froch's, and the more I think about it, the more I think that Froch's resume is probably better.
