I am Froch's biggest critic by a mile, but Ward is virtually retired and not counting him , Froch is no.1 in what is clearly a crap division.
Ward is number 1 and you have to beat him. Just as GGG has to beat Cotto to get the spot.
Not according to a lot of sources out there, including fightnews.com, which has GGG as the #1 guy.

Cotto is the lineal guy. So too is Ward. But it doesn't mean they are or should be the #1 guy.
How long can ward stay out of the ring or fight no one in particular and stay number 1?
