    I would subtract Dirrell from Froch and it's pretty even. Froch did not beat Dirrell, he got the decision in what was legit hometown cooking/robbery.

    Ward has/will have Froch, Kessler, Bika, Rodriguez*, Dawson, Abraham, Miranda, Green.

    Froch has/will have Kessler, Pascal, Bute, Taylor, Abraham, Johnson, Groves*.

    If you want to say Dawson was drained, i'll agree, but also add that Johnson was old and actually gave Froch a tough fight. Ward fought the younger version of Kessler.

    * = Pending.

A good finisher would have put him on the canvas one or two more times and maybe finished the job. Luckily for Kessler he was fighting Allan Green.
      Dude you are delusional if you think Kessler was there for the taking.

        But Ward's 96 initiated clinches + 5 intentional headbutts vs Kessler was completely fair?

        Froch/Dirrell could have gone either way, but in no way was it a robbery.

          Thanks for that. I see you are just a troll.

          I tried to make a serious discussion out of this.

            What exactly was trolling about my post? You whined about a hometown decision for Froch when Dirrell ran all night and pot-shotted and had a KD taken away. It was a CLOSE fight, yet you claim it was homecooking at its best.

            Yet, Ward's fight against Kessler where he continuously clinched and headbuttet him without getting a single warning or point deduction was completely fair.

            You are the troll my friend.

              Ward is my choice by far. He beat Froch and he beat Kessler who beat Froch and he has never lost a fight. I don't see how Froch could be rated over Ward but some Froch fans do.

                Ward > Froch. Of that there's no question.

                But Froch slightly edges him in the resume department. He's fought more quality fighters, more unbeaten fighters and has fought 6 times on the road.
