    as for their resumes, let's look first at the the two biggest fights of froch's career. the two biggest fights of froch's career are ward and kessler 1, both of which were losses. his fight with ward wasn't even close, and proved they weren't in the same class.
    Bute and Groves 2 were the most important fights of his career by a mile, literally nobody cares about that silly tournament from 5-6 years ago where Ward avoided leaving the US at all costs because he needed his special referee to let him get off with headbutting and grabbing his more talented and exciting opponents.

    Ward won the tournament, a gold medal and a world title, yet still can't sell out a bingo hall in his home town, so what does that tell you?

      Yes he's a hall of famer. IF he retired now he would get in. Just look at his accomplishments. He's an Olympic Gold medalist. He's has dominated the super middleweight division the last several years and he has dominated all his fights. He hasn't lost a fight since he was a teenager, dating back to his younger amateur days. But his professional career has been great. He started his career a little slow but once he entered the Super 8 tournament, he blew through it and won all his fights. Since then he has dominated all his fights. Say what you want but he is a hall of famer right now. His professional run has been great.

          PPV buys? Are you serious?
          The hall of fame is all about what you have contributed to the sport and PPV buys matter, thats big business that gathers a lot of attention.

            Lol at the people voting that he's done enough. He hasn't. Most of the work has been done by Froch in the division he fought at.

              Groves and Bute were the highest earning fights of his career, but you wouldn't know that, you're not from the UK and have no idea how big he became with casual fans after knocking out Bute.

                If you don't think he is a hall of famer right now, then why don't you ask one of experts who vote on it. Ask Thomas Hauser, Kevin Iole or go to the Boxing Writers Association of America website and ask their experts(they are easy to get a hold of and get an answer from). Most of the writers their have a vote on who gets in and I can assure you 90% will say he gets in right now.

                  What are you talking about? Can you even name any of his opponents in the last several years? 2009 was a long time ago and the sport has moved on, so stop living in the past.

                    Are you just name dropping for the hell of it? Or do you know them personnaly?



                    By no means is he a lock at this point. Thats if he retired today. With that said he is well on his way and im sure will find himself in the HOF

                      Besides Kovalev, who has he not beaten? He cleaned everyone out. he wanted to fight Hopkins a few years back and Hopkins said he wanted no part of him. Since you are so knowledgeable, who has he not fought?
