Yea he has to be. Sometimes it comes down the contribution the man gives to the sport, and Froch has contributed alot. The guy is a warrior, was in some great fights, even beat guys I and many others expected to beat him. He also filled an 80,000 seater stadium and while many don't advocate box office in this country, at least the fights he had on box office against Kessler & groves were actually worth the money.
