    Not even close TBH. At the moment, Froch is nowhere near being a HOFer. HOFers are the greatest boxers of all time. People seem to think every half decent champion, with one or two ok wins today means you're a HOFer. It's ****ing bizarre.

    Does beating Bute, Abraham, and Direll, while losing to the two best you ever faced, get you into the HOF alongside Ali, Duran, Leonard, Hopkins, Pac Mayweather etc these days? It's crazy.

    People already talk of Rigondeaux and Golovkin as HOFers. There is something wrong with fans today.

    If Froch is a HOFer, Mares is already a HOFer too, as are about 20 other champions.

    The HOFers of today are guys like Jones Jr, Hopkins, Mayweather, Marquez, Pacquiao, Donaire etc. Froch, as good as he is, and as fun to watch, is not nearly a HOFer yet and probably never will be.

      You just said what he is high off lmao.

      That being said Froch is definitely a HOF but it would take ALOT more for him to be an ATG.

      If he means ATG UK fighter then yes I do agree with him.

        Hearn is Russian and likes to bet in China.

            Avenge Kessler....BIG step

            Avenge Ward...THEN we can talk about being among greats...

            His resume is great, but those two are the two best he's fought and he lost. So victories over Kessler and Ward would help that argument.

                Hearn is a promoter promoting.

                I wouldn't take it literally.

                  Froch also beat pascal and taylor and the HOF isn't as exclusive as you're thinking it is.

                      No. It helps his case for making the Hall of Fame one day though, but not even close to an ATG.

                      He'd have wins over Kessler, Pascal, Abraham, Johnson, Taylor, Bute, and a questionable win over Dirrell. Nowhere near an ATG.

                      To get that title, he'd have to beat Kessler here, beat Hopkins, and probably beat Ward in a rematch.
