    Don't know if he's ATG, I have a feeling more americans would say he was if he was American. He's easily a HOFamer and possibly the greatest british fighter ever or for a very long time at least.

    Funny how people claim he should move up. And do what exactly? Froch is a fit guy and is able to stay in his weightclass where throughout the years, it just so happens that there were great fights.

    Did everyone suddenly forget that the LHW division stunk for years and has only recently become a little better?
    What do you mean best resume in SM ever, did Ward suddenly not exist or something??

      No he exists.

      Froch's resume is just better than his. Ward has the best win (Froch), but Froch has more quality in depth.

        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

          HOF of course but ATG I would say clearly not.

          When you're throwing terms like ATG around you are comparing boxers with the likes of Ali, Robinson, Armstrong and so forth.

            Well there you are talking about the absolute royalty, actually divinity, of boxing echelons.

            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.

              Froch's resume is very arguably better.

                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..
                Ok lets compare it, Hearns resume:

                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??

                  Froch is just a PED fiend who cheats to become tougher. But he hast no skills, and lost EVERY round to Ward.

                  Froch is a joke while Ward is still around.

                    Remind me again of which one of them was associated with a convicted steroid chemist?

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