How Far Away Is Froch From Being a Pound 4 Pounder?

[Mattyhitman]

Nah, I wouldn't mate! He is a European level fighter imo, Defence is and always has been not good enough at the highest level.

I'm not disputing his technical ability, which is European level at best. But Hatton's technical ability was limited, and he didn't beat a top fighter who was in their prime, yet managed to float around the top 10 for 3 years.

Froch has 3, possibly 4 (if he beat Abraham) very good names on his resume. Surely that counts for something?

I guess for Hatton, you could argue he cleaned up his weight division, then moved up a division and captured another title, therefor you can argue the point, Froch needs to clean up the SMW before he could be considered IMO
