      He takes top fight after top fight for 5 years consecutively and wins most of them. Back to back.

      Underdog on 3 occasions in that span.

      As it stands, probably the best Super Middleweight resume of all time.

      I think he does, yes.
      Come on now. It's one thing to be an exciting fighter and facing tough opposition back to back but he lost against the two best fighters he got in the ring with and got a gift against the 3rd.

        He's fought the best Super Middleweights back to back since 2008 and he's won them all but 2.

        He's beaten Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Abraham, Johnson and Bute.

        3 of which, he was an underdog in.

        Who has a better resume than that at 168 as it stands?

          He could even retire now on a career high and having landed the P4P#1 most smokin hot wife in boxing.
          Froch/Kessler II or Froch/Pavlik(best choice). Pavlik should have taken the 1.3 million when he had the chance, beating Froch in Nottingham might be a huge task.

              Ward beating Froch Kessler Johnson and Abraham would be quite close if not better.

              It depends which you like more. Froch, Kessler or Dirrell, Pascal, Bute, Taylor.

                And he got outclassed in one of his two losses and got a gift decision in one of his wins.

                Taylor was past his prime and 30 seconds from winning the fight, Abraham had already been exposed by Dirrell.

                Right now Ward has a better resume.

                  Not only does Froch have the best resume of any fighter for a long time, his warrior spirit, willingness to take on only the best and dedication tot he sport make him a first ballot hall of famer.

                      So what he was outclassed? He was outclassed by a world class fighter. One of the best fighters in the world.

                      I thought he lost to Dirrell but it was close, could have gone either way.

                      Taylor was the heavy favourite to win, and was 30 seconds from winning........................................The n get knocked out.

                      Abraham was heavy favourite to beat him, shut out.

                      Ward possibly has a better resume as it stands at 168, it's arguable after Froch's win tonight.

                      Who else?

                      You're saying it's Ward. Froch is 2nd then? Or who else?
