p4p is not so much about resume or quality of opponents. if it was then froch should definitely be in. but froch doesn't look very good against really good boxers. dirrell (even though he is a whiny *****) and ward especially made him look pretty bad and super slow.
but if he fights guys who like to brawl at times (pascal/abraham) or guys who can't take his pressure (bute/taylor) he can look like a machine.
i would be happy for him if he gets on the p4p list though and it wouldn't be bad to put him at like 9 or 10th i don't think, he does deserve it.
Great win but P4P is for elite fighters, Ward dominated him which probably won't get erased from analyzing P4P position.
Marquez got dominated by Mayweather. Sometimes, you meet a dude who's A. Better than you and B. has all the wrong style. Froch's wins WAY outweigh his loss here.
When I update the list for the site after Pac-Bradley, I can't see him much lower than seven if not top 5 depending on how the big fight goes. He's 6-2 against the toughest schedule in the sport, took 3 0's along the way, has one close home win, one narrow road loss, and one competitive, clear loss to one of the best on earth.
He didn't take his foot off the gas a bit like Donaire did for a minute after Montiel; hasn't gone to a pair of so-so challengers and begged for a fight with JCC Jr. Froch is still getting knocked on aesthetics. He's proven.
If he's not in the debate after May, Pac, Ward, and Marquez, no one should be.
