        So you are saying that Ward and Froch resumees consist of only three fighters?

          you talk about being wrong about bute like it's a good thing.
          I've never said Froch is better than Ward. But his resume is better.

            He's close but I would lean towards no. Ward still needs to add depth to his resume. Besides his Super 6 wins (which are really good), he doesn't have much else.

            He's obviously a HOF talent though and one of the best fighters currently. If he continues to fight, he will get in.

              lol to be fair, you're actually right,

              beyond wards best 2 wins, froch has clearly the better resume

              i admit im wrong

                Bute possibly. Prime Calzaghe now. Faded Calzaghe probably not. Coked up Calzaghe probably not. I give Ward a chance against a 60 year old Calzaghe but Joe hasn't reached that age yet so we will see what condition he is in.

                  Froch has Kessler (abit older), Bute, Abraham, Taylor, Dirrell, Groves x2, Pascal.

                  I think it's definitely very clear Froch has more depth to his resume. But again it is still arguable.
                  Just look at the names, people. SMW life existed before and after the Super Six. You don't get to ignore everything Froch has done if it didn't happen during the Super Six.

                    I would say no. Just winning the super 6 is not enough to make the HOF. Compare ward to the sure fire HOF'ers still active-floyd, rjj, manny, bhop, cotto, wlad, jmm, toney (add if i'm missing any)-his accomplishments don't compare.

                      Froch, Wonjongkam, Martinez, Jorge Arce, Chris John, Morales and is Mosley officially retired yet?

                      Maybe Donaire & Kessler too.
