(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.
