As for Napa, he pushed the European champion hard early in the year, then claimed and defended the British title twice against quality British opposition. If Froch did more fighting and less talking I might be more inclined to promote him into the list.

You say that but wasn't Earl coming off a bad beating as well ?? and didn't a lot of people consider him *past it* yet you have Khan on the list and not Froch.
Earl was more of a threat than Reid and Tatevosyan put together ICB. Earl was considered a dangerous opponent for khan after dropping Katsidis and was a former WBU, British and Commenwealth champion and with Khan's questionable chin people thought Earl was the person to exploit Khan and even Katsidis said if Earl fights like he did against me he will beat Khan but he just blasted him out in 72 seconds and done maybe worse to Earl in terms of damage than what Katsidis done in 5 rounds, when Katsidis landed flush shots he could'nt KO him in the ring his corner had to pull him Earl out. Reid was coming off a layoff of just one 8 rounder in 2 years against a contender bum while Earl was coming off a 10 month layoff. Big Differnce bro.
