Behave.

He's beaten...

Dirrell
Kessler
Abraham
Bute
Pascal
Taylor
Groves (x2)

In and around their prime. Far more impressive resume than Calzaghe and Hatton.
Yeah but at no point was he the best 168lber in the world. That's something Calzaghe and Hatton have over him: they ruled their divisions in their time... not Froch!

And Hatton dethroned one of the best 140lbers in history to do it.
