Froch is a good boxer, not a great one, but a good one. He's not HOF material. He just isn't fast enough at the very elite level. He actually has some craftiness to him if he didn't he wouldn't have defeated Glen Johnson and he wouldn't have fought Dirrell to a stalemate. Dirrell has publicly given Froch credit after he lost to Froch. He said Froch was trickier than he appeared. I believe that. I just feel that at the elite level he's a tad bit too slow and he doesn't have enough boxing ability to make up for his lack of speed like Bernard Hopkins does.

I disagree with Shza that the division is all that weak. It's just top heavy to me and probably winds up about average in depth. Ward is undefeated at the top of the division appears to be a solid boxer with legitimate wins over Kessler, Froch, and Bika. Bute is undefeated and another solid boxer with wins over Johnson and Bika. Froch has wins over Johnson, Pascal and Dirrell. Kessler has a recent win over Froch. After that the division somewhat falls off. There is Bika, Johnson and Stieglitz.
