    That's my point. Those are the terms on which ATG status should be considered.

      Be quiet Larry.

      Abraham
      Bute
      Dirrell
      Groves
      Johnson
      Kessler
      Pascal
      Reid
      Taylor

      and Froch isn't finished, there is more to come.

      Yeah, it's more than a bit ambiguous.

        He isn't actually that good.

        If he had average stamina and an average chin he'd have many losses.

          Dumb logic, if you take any fighters attributes away they'd have more losses.

          Losses don't define a fighter anyway, it's the wins. Many of the best fighters have multiple losses.

            Yeah, and if Floyd Mayweather was slow and had average skills he'd have many losses....

            What a silly way to look at something. How many great fighters would there be if you took away their strengths?

              His technique is poor though, he's also slow and has poor balance - he's not a well co-ordinated athlete, just a tough mofo with a great engine, great belief and chin

                No. Not to knock his career achievements but he just doesn't rise to that level of greatness. Which is not an insult.

                  Froch is a definite hall of famer. There's no way he's an ATG though and that's ok. He's an excellent fighter and will be known as a guy who fought the best fighters possible.
