This post isn't aimed @Althugz or to downplay Froch's tremendous record. I just found these stats very surprising.

Froch's "world" title opposition at 168.

Pascal - never won title at 168.
Taylor - never won title at 168.
Dirrell - never won title at 168.
Kessler - former 168 title holder (LOST)
Abraham - never won title at 168.
Johnson - never won title at 168.
Ward - current 168 title holder (LOST)
Bute - 168 title holder.

Froch has only ever beat ONE "world" champion. How surprising is that?
