Should Froch be named as THE CHAMP at 168?

Should Froch be ranked as the no.1 fighter at SMW now that Andre Ward has effectively retired?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Well he hasn't retired

You don't get named champion. But in today's boxing world, any type of BS is possible.

How long can Ward be out of action and still be no.1. What's the time frame? Froch is clearly the most accomplished fighter so why shouldn't he be moved up.

No because Ward fought in November of last year. He gets stripped after one year of inactivity.

Ward ain't fighting this year.

Holy crap, so you take out Ward but keep Rigo for fighting in between network commercial breaks. You know what I mean "He has no home!" Froch over Pacman, really? He spent a whole year fighting Groves. Roman? Plz pm me your 6-10...

Well but the question was: "Should Froch be named as THE CHAMP at 168?" not Should Froch will be named as THE CHAMP at 168 in November?". Now officially Ward is above Froch, if Ward won't fight till November (probably) Ward will be removed both from the SMW and P4P list and then Froch as the most dominanat recently active SMW champ will be "the champ" but not before November.

A question for the Froch fans who are all waiting to Ward's removement from P4P and SMW rankings: If Froch will be the #1 SMW only due to Ward's inactivity you will be satisfied? I mean Ward beat Froch easily, everyone knows it who follow boxing. Froch would be #1 but only because Ward is inactive and has legal issues, otherwise they already met and then became crystal clear that who is the #1 SMW. Froch couldn't be #1 till Ward was active he didn't earn the #1 spot with a renvege on the Ward loss and Ward hasn't even decline, he is still a way better boxer. So Froch's only chance to become #1 is Ward'S inactivity and lawsuit. Is this really that satisfying for you?
