      Froch is in the top 10.

      I would really have to put some thought into placing Broner in the top 15-20 atm.

        Its no worse than claiming that a boxer who hasn't accomplished much is a ATG .. which MANY forum members do here EVERY DAY.

        Opinions are like .. you get the picture.

          Broner has titles in TWO divisions, and is the best at 135. Froch has losses to the two best in his division.
          Regardless, it's clear to see Russell is way more talented than the K's, esp Vitali. I hope your rankings reflect that.

          Also, Devon Alexander and Danny Green are both TWO division titlists, Klitschko's only ONE. Easy choice.

            Based on the horrendous string of bums he has fought? but hey he does have fast hands and that is the standard for a great boxer I guess.

              No, he isn't. He's never been the best in his division, both Klitschkos have (Vitali in 2004, Wlad in recent years).

              Neither Green nor Alexander have ever been the best in their divisions.

              Broner is the #1 lightweight.
              If you watch their fights, you'll see Russell is loads more talented than them both. It's plain as day.

              If it's about the rankings, you must have rated DeMarco, Igarashi, Jaro, Nishioka, Pascal above Froch, they all were #1/champ which Froch was unable to do. And above Vitali, who hasn't been rated #1 in like 8 years.

                Taylor was actually winning on a split decision, a 10 7 round would have given froch the win, if i remember the showtime American pundits had it a draw going into the last round against taylor.

                Froch beat kessler imo and many other peoples opinions, a below par froch still beat kessler and the rematch will end all debate.
                whoa, easy with all that now. . . I thought the fight could have gone either way. Was just an ugly fight that was hard to score. So many rounds you could just write off as 10-10.

                  I have no problem with it and no one else should.

                  It's a P4P ranking, Broner has just moved up to 135 and beaten a champion. Thus proving his P4P ability, Froch has not.

                    Resume combined with skill set gives you your p4p ranking. Broner has a **** resume.

                      Broner has done fuck all so far. Promising fighter but that's it.
