Should Froch be no. 1 if he beats Groves?

[RubenSonny]

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.

Exactly, its a paradox.

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.

No that doesn't mean he's good, had Wonjongkam rematched Sonny Boy immediately, no one would be calling it great opposition and Jaro actually won.

I tried to answer but all I could see was Froch getting manhandled by Ward on the inside and looking at the referee like a helpless child being bullied.

He wasn't focused though! He was away from his family though! Ward in Nottingham would be different though!

[ShoulderRoll]

wasn't leapai the #1 heavyweight according to one of those belt organizations?

Yes.

But when all of them, not just one, say you are in the top 3 then it holds more weight. There is more of a consensus.

[Jewish-Reptile]

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

^^^^ This.

[KingTito]

I would say no. However, if Ward goes a year without fighting then I'd say you have to replace in the SMW and P4P rankings. I just hope he gets back in the ring.

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.

You're such a hater lol, Groves does not want any parts of Andre Ward.

[just the facts]

So if Froch beats Groves convincingly, you'd rank him above Ward?

No, as noted, neither would anyone else without an agenda. Judging from your posts here and other threads, that excludes you

[just the facts]

Yes but he stands no chance against the monster that is George Groves.

Groves will be crowned the new king of British boxing in six days time.

He will then proceed to travel to da hood Oakland and punish the diva Andre Ward.

He will KO Ward and make him cry in his home town.

anyone else think maybe after Sat night we're never gonna hear from ole booty doer here again?

[Hull Slayer]

Ward gave up the number 1 spot when he started being inactive and fighting cab drivers in Jokeland.

[LacedUp]

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

He hardly a top 10 SMW anyway, so does the rest matter?
