Should Froch be no. 1 if he beats Groves?

[BattlingNelson]

The current no. 1 at SMW is Andre Ward. He hasn't fought an opponent with a pulse in nearly 3 years and doesn't appear headed for a bout any time soon.

Is it reasonable to replace Andre Ward with Carl Froch if Froch beats Groves on saturday?

[The Big Dunn]

No. ward defeated froch and fought within a year.

[Hougigo]

Me personally....no.
Unless Ward has completely fallen off the map with a years absence, Ward still the man to beat

[Check_hooks]

Hes already #1 in my book. The Froch vs Ward fight was very close that could've went either way but the fight was where all of Ward's super 6 fights were - America. He was the only fighter that fought all his fights in his backyard.

After the super 6
And Froch beat a undefeated Bute, Kessler and a undefeated Groves

Ward beat a severely weight drained Dawson who got sparked out in last than 1 round and Edwin Rodriguez who failed to make weight and was drained

Win or lose Froch > Ward

Who would come to that idiotic conclusion?

[ShoulderRoll]

No. Froch lost to Ward head to head, so how can he be #1 over Andre?

[LacedUp]

He's already #1.

Ward hasn't faced a good super middleweight since 2011.

[LacedUp]

No. Froch lost to Ward head to head, so how can he be #1 over Andre?

How can the ranking solely be based on Ward beating Froch 3 years ago?

When Froch fought Bute, many considered Bute the #1 incl SMW. Froch wiped the floor with him. He's then gone on to beat the consensus #3 + George Groves who's now #4/5.

All the while Ward has beaten..............

No one.

It wasn't close at all. Let's be real.
