In two respects:
Peak vs Peak & Secondly Career wise

Career wise I think there is no competition - froch has now beaten what was Joe's best ever win - on the same terms (i.e. at home) and by similar margins

No doubt in my mind froch would beat Hopkins and every other person on joe's resume

However Peak vs Peak will still be debated - and perhaps this is because Froch has just hit his peak a couple of years ago

I would actually say Froch vs JC at peak would now be a pick em fight - and if froch can beat ward I would give it to carl all the way -

compared to watching the taylor fight all those years ago he has come on so much if you watch -
full respect to carl!
