Froch should have been in that position long ago, took Ring a long time to rank him as highly as he should be.
Froch's resume and last performance more than deserve it.

Pound for pound is just opinion and can't be proven right or wrong. If Ring thinks he is the 6th best pfp fighter in the world they have their reasons. I have him closer to 10th because he is easy to hit and getting old and past prime but maybe he deserves 6th place. There are some very good fighters in so many different weight classes so it's hard to compare them to fighters 50 pounds lighter or heavier.

I would keep Froch over Kovalev. Froch has had a solid career from early wins over Pascal & Taylor to the more recent Kessler, Bute, and Groves wins. Where Kovalev only has the Cleverly, Pascal, and Hopkins wins. Bernard being 50 years old and Pascal seemingly past his peak and a bit inactive doesn't give Kovalev quite the impact as it would a few years ago.

Exactly. Kovalev has some major skills boxing wise and can brawl/punch, dude is a multi-dimensional fighter and on that P4P fantasy realm he matches up well with just about anybody in the top 10.

Also, pound for pound is not based on mythical match-ups because by that logic fighters with talent can be number one pound for pound before they do anything. You can't base rankings on how people match up in impossible fights. Resume is the only criteria for anyone who knows boxing.
Your point is valid, resume plays a pretty important part or else you'd have prospects who are KOing bums in 2 rounds ranked as top 5 in the world. I think it's a combination of both mythical match ups and resume that is used in P4P criteria. The mythical match up is primarily used for established guys, let's keep that in mind. Also, you favoring GGG over Kovalev is proving my point. GGG has beaten nobody of worth yet you're already saying he'd beat the more established fighter in Kovalev in a P4P mythical match up...."resume is the only criteria for anybody who knows boxing."
