    Carl Froch should go down as a all time great.

    Firstly the ref was completely correct, froch was pulverising him and would have ended groves career had it continued. Groves turned hs back once in round 8 and was getting pummeled and the ref dubiously saved him, round 9 was just going to be a train wreck. Well done ref.

    Also Froch has now beaten Kessler(twice imo), Groves, glen Johnson, jean Pascal, Jermaine Taylor, Arthur Abraham, Andre Dirrell, Glen Johnson, Yusaf mack, robin reid, and Lucien Bute.

    That is not all time great resume???

      I don't know if you're serious or not here. Froch was getting thoroughly beaten before he finally broke through and landed a big shot. He's a tough brawler with power, but he struggles against boxers that can move. He's really, really good but I wouldn't call him an all-time great.

      Now if he fights Ward again and destroys him, different story. I don't see that happening, though.

        Manfredo wasn't ahead on all three scorecards in the ninth round.

          At least Manfredo wasn't firing back, Groves was still landing bombs on Froch and wasn't even hurt. Let's not pretend like this wasn't one of the worst stoppages of all time.

            Groves was very much hurt at the time of the stoppage

                  yea I love how people make stuff up even though they are you tube slow mos of froch practically decapitating groves head with 5/6 shots, the ref literraly caught groves, and groves had his back turned, Plus we still had 4 rounds to go(including the 9th).

                  The ref jumped in in round 8 for no reason when froch was landing.

                  People just wanted to see the conclusion of fight of the year, but the ref saved George groves career.

                  he should be congratulated not harassed.

                    To answer the question

                    Froch is a HOFer no doubt,, great career, but he isnt an ATG,, maybe an ATG at 168, but not in historic terms,,
