    Who would have thought a few years ago this would even be a legit question for Froch? The fact people are already debating it is impressive to me.

    Like many others, I wasn't impressed with Froch at the start. But he's proven time and time again he wins big fights, plus his resume is just fantastic, the level of opposition is second to none in recent years.

      3 of which, he was an underdog in.

      Who has a better resume than that at 168 as it stands?
      Ward, for one, because he decisively beat Froch and Kessler.

        I give him credit for winning fights where he was the underdog.

        Ward beat Froch by near shut out and Froch lost to Kessler who Ward also dominated. Gotta take this stuff into account.


        Wait a minute, a win over Dirrell is better than any win on Ward's resume? Including Froch?
        If you want to pretend to not know what I'm talking about fine...I believe you understand what I'm getting at,so I will just leave it at that...

          Ward has the 2 names. It's not like Ward automatically get's Froch's resume for beating him.

            It's how you win too. Ward dominates every fight.

                I notice people claim guys like Marquez and Cotto could be future HOF's, but Froch's resume is better than theirs.
                Yes. Believe he'll make it in not only because of his resume but because he fights everyone all the elite fighters in a time period where no one really does it
                And he'll most likely be remembered for that more then his resume...

                  if carl froch (and guys similar,) gets into the HOF being a hall of famer is going to start to mean less and less.

                      I don't think he's there yet, but he's had an impressive career and maybe he'll get there in time. If he can beat Kessler and 1 or 2 other good wins then maybe.
