i think so. he has taken on all comers, avenged his loss to kessler which was very close fight anyway and the only fighter to beat him his andre ward who will most likely go undefeated his whole career anyway

When you're throwing terms like ATG around you are comparing boxers with the likes of Ali, Robinson, Armstrong and so forth.
Just because you are an ATG doesn't necessarily mean you are challenging or comparing to them..
I think most would agree Froch is a top 5 super middleweight of all times. That should count for something.
Not sure he's ATG though, but if he was american i'm sure he'd be considered as such.

Adrien Broner also won belts in 3-4 divisions or whatever it is. Who did he beat?
Hearns is undoubtedly a great fighter, in terms of quality wins I'm just asking why it's so far-fetched to compare him to someone who has stacked up an impeccable resume 15 world title fights on the spin, incl. beaten multiple past, current and future champions.
Hearns has a good resume: Cuevas at 147, Duran at 154, Benitez at 154, Andries, Roldan, and Virgil Hill at 160 to 175.... Maybe should have had Ray Leonard as well.
I just don't feel like it's definitely better than Froch. And if it is, it's not out of his stratosphere..
Leonard - ATG- lose and draw(possibly win) - FOTY and Nomination Of FOTY
Duran - ATG - win - K.O of the year
Hagler - ATG - lose - FOTY
Benitez - HOF - win - nomination of FOTY
Virgil Hill - HOF - win -
Cuevas - HOF - win -
Iran barkley - Borderline HOF - Lose 2x FOTY
Roldan - good - win
Andries - good - win
Muangsurin - good - win
Doug DeWitt - wbo MW champ- win
Eddie Gazo - wba LMW champ- win
Mark Medal - ibf LMW champ- win
Espada - WBA WW champ- win
Bruce curry - WBA SLW champ- win
James Shuler- win
James Kinchen- win
So that stacked resume and acclompisment it's not definitely better than Froch?? care to give us Froch stacked resume?? does he even have a HOF in there? maybe ward but Froch lose right??

he is definitely ATG imo. has the resume, has the skills, has the charismatic personality, has the warrior attitude, etc.
