Should Froch be no. 1 if he beats Groves?

[The Big Dunn]

Oh wait, I got confused. I remember just how Ric Flair used to say it now...



"To be the man....wooooo.....you've gotta lose comprehensively to the man.....wooo......then you've gotta hope the man has legal issues with his promoter and becomes inactive.....wooo.....then you beat a couple of fringe contenders....woooo....and then you're the man....WOOO!"

woooow this was ****ing hilarious!!!

Ward is garbage, once Groves beats Froch he is n#1 at 168.

Ward is a disgrace to boxing, should have been DQ'd at least 10 times by now.

Ward is truly dreadful to watch, utterly dreadful.

[BattlingNelson]

No, since Ward outclassed Froch in every facet of the game. If it was close maybe but it was so one sided and Ward hasn't slipped. Can't drop him and he won't be dropped.

So because Ward beat Froch many years ago he should regain a higher ranking despite rarely fighting and when he does grace the ring with his presence he just bowl over some can.

Ok.

If Ward went to war with Rodriguez and then had a rematch, would Froch fans give him credit for 'always taking on the best'?

Because thats pretty much what Froch is doing with Groves.

[BattlingNelson]

Groves isn't a good opponent, and wasn't seen as a good opponent coming into the Froch fight, please tell me what Groves had done?

He wasn't seen as a good opponent that's true. The fight with Froch proved that he was much better than expected. Rarely has a fighter benefitted as much from a loss as Groves has.

How can Rodriguez be a "can" if he was ranked top 3 in the world by all four major sanctioning bodies?

[BattlingNelson]

No, absolutely not. This seems like more of a popularity contest than a vote based on reality. I don't like Ward either. If Ward had not had a fight since the injury I would say yes make Froch number 1. But the fact is Ward did defend his title recently. You may not like his choice of opponents but the guy he fought was undefeated and ranked in the top 4 contenders for the 168 pound world title and he most certainly had a pulse.

Rodriguez might have been no. 4 in th e WBA rankings, but since when are alphabet rankings to be taken seriously? I mean Kashtonov is no. 1 for crying out loud!

Because he wasn't. I dont even think he had cracked the top 10 on boxingscene, ********* or espn.
