The Ring P4P Rankings

[erics44]

Froch has faced tougher competition overall, sure. But Dawson is clearly the better fighter. It's no accident that Floyd Mayweather himself said Dawson is one of the top P4P fighters in the sport. Do you honestly think Carl Froch could beat Dawson at 168 or 175? I sure don't. Froch couldn't even beat Mikkel Kessler. (I rate the Pascal loss for Dawson as something of a fluke -- he lost because he took off half the fight and then the fight got ended on an injury when he was really coming on.)

I don't want to trash Froch. He's great for what he is -- a guy who has fought all comers. He deserves massive credit for that. But that's not the same thing as talent. I wouldn't argue with him somewhere in the 8-10 spots, even.

youre probably one of many whosaid he couldnt beat bute and AA

I don't believe there was anyone who said he couldn't beat the previously-exposed AA -- certainly not me. I did say he couldn't compete with Ward, which was true.
