calzaghe > froch

if dirrell was able to outbox him....i'm sure joe would have handled froch quite easily. arrogance aside...nothing about froch impresses me.

a name doesn't mean shit, it's the age, and RJJ was past it, same with Hopkins, and I still had Hopkins winning that fight. While Calzaghe fought nobodies in his home town, and nobody relevant from his division, Froch had been fighting everybody thanks to the super six. That arguement is like me finding Mayweather in 40 years, when he's all old, and he's slow and half crippled, and I beat him and say, I beat Mayweather, cause I didn't I beat a shadow of Mayweather, same with RJJ and Calzaghe

froch lost to kessler, ward and i also thought he lost to dirrell. not exactly a solid showing in the super six tournament...but i get what ur saying.

we'll never know with joe calzaghe. i always thought he'd be beat by jones and all the other ppl he avoided while they were in their primes, but i still believe his skill set separates him from an ordinary guy like froch. i'll say this though....joe beat (very convincingly) a prime, undefeated kessler in his own backyard. froch couldn't even beat the twice beaten kessler.

Personally, I think kessler was relatively untested when he fought Joe. I believe he had more to fight for when he fought Froch. And he fought like it, but that's just my opinion. It was good fight even though I thought Froch took it but that could have just been karma from the dirrell fight
