First off, Froch is one of my favorite boxers of the last ten years. Love his warrior attitude, his chin, and I believe he has a very good resume. Froch-Taylor is one of the most exciting fights in many years.
Second, I'm old enough to actually remember the Cooper-Clay fight.
Lastly the thread says ATG which I interpret to include popularity then boxing skills. Therefore even Frank Bruno should be considered as both he and Cooper were/are beloved by the British sports fans. Cooper's left hook near ko of Clay is by itself enough to put 'Enry on the list. Hell he went 15 rounds with Joe Bugner in his last fight (Cooper did)
I don't think even his most ardent supporter would say Froch is beloved by anyone save his loud mouthed gf.
You guys are forgetting the seriously old guys like Jimmy Wilder (no I'm not THAT old).
Hatton, Lewis, Calzaghe, Froch all should be considered.
Anyway that's my opinion on this topic.
