If Froch beat Groves should he become #1 in the 168 rankings?

This is true.

Ward has a very odd pshyche

He wants it all handed to him, he feels he has put in the work and should now reap the rewards

Why should he prove himself more? Where are the adoring fans, where are the multi million dollar pay days, where is the MGM Grand?

Ward feels he earned it, and unless he gets it, screw boxing.

strange attitude he has

I've expressed similar opinions on various websites over the years...
I've been labelled as a "hater" or a "Bute's fan"... I was a Bute's fan, of course, but didn't believe that Lucian could have beaten Ward...

It's kinda difficult to put Froch ahead of Ward with another Groves win.

Ward did beat a guy who was ranked higher than Groves, but Froch does have Brute, Kessler and Groves.

I love watching Froch but there's no way he gets ranked above especially since Ward has that victory over him and Kessler.

Obviously Ward has his number h2h, but in terms of activity Froch will have wins over Bute, Kessler, Mack and Groves X2

Ward has jawson and robertez or whatever he's called

Their fight was almost 3 years ago, and Ward hasn't done anything since and hasn't got anything in the pipeline, so....

I think so yes, based solely on Ward's lack of activity since winning the super six and his lack of quality opponents. If Froch can have a string of fights against opponents such as Kessler, Bute and Groves in that time yet Ward just sits and complains he doesn't get any big fights, to me that is a false sense of entitlement. You have to go out of your way to make the big fights happen.

If Froch beats groves then yes he will be the number 1 in the division... The number 1 contender! Dré Ward is still the champ, and no ones come close to dethroning him, including Carl...

Ward is the champion until he loses
Froch is already ranked as the #1 contender
Ward managed to get in a fight, so he shouldn't be stripped yet
but if he keeps on the shelf and doesn't fight, strip him
