Should Froch be no. 1 if he beats Groves?

[RubenSonny]

Rodriguez was certainly not the best available contender.

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?

[slimshandy69]

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

Sports about consistency not head to heads.

If Federer has a better season than nadal but losses every head to head with him, hes still should be ranked above him.

Plus ward only beat from by 2 rounds in his home country.

Froch was number 1 ages ago....

[LacedUp]

Same way Groves got ranked after beating a list of nobodies (post razor thin Degale win that he didn't rematch)

Groves is clearly better in every departement than that turd Rodriguez incl resume.

[ShoulderRoll]

Seriously?

I mean I'm taking your word for it, I just wonder how beating the likes of Grachev, Rosinsky & Maderna could give you such a ranking.

I am being completely serious. But don't just take my word for it, I encourage you and everybody else to research it for yourselves.

It bears repeating. At the time of the Ward fight Edwin Rodriguez was considered top 3 in the world at super middleweight by all of the major sanctioning bodies. These were his rankings:

#1 WBC
#3 WBA
#3 WBO
#3 IBF

[Resilient]

Groves KO's Ward.

Wow. Just wow.

Don't know what else to say.

[yoz]

Wow. Just wow.

Don't know what else to say.

Ward should have been DQ'd for excessive clinching.

[Joshua Child]

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.

As much as I would love for this to happen...I don't see it bro.

[LacedUp]

Ward should have been DQ'd for excessive clinching.

A recurring theme in Ward's fights.

[boliodogs]

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.
