I'm not too sure. The only way to beat Calslappy is to totally knock him da fux out. Abraham probably has the best shot at doing that. Calzaghe wins every fight by simply throwing more punches and outworking everyone else and nobody in the super six has calzaghe's work rate. I'm not sure how abraham, ward or any of these guys would react to the calslappy windmills of doom.
I can't say with confidence that any of them would definitely beat Calzaghe, but Ward and Abraham would give him the best fights and would have a good chance.
Calzaghe would win hands down against any of the super six now in my opinion. He beat Kessler, would take out Taylor and Dirrell. Andre Ward would be tough because of his speed and power, but i'd give the fight to Joe, and Froch just leaves too many openings all the time, and although Joe probably wouldnt have the power to knock him out, he would be able to keep Froch off him and confuse him with his speed and stay away for the points.
Carl Froch is the only man of the Super 6 that can beat Calzaghe. The reason why I say this is because like Calzaghe, Carl has a high work rate. Froch's entire style is the same as Margarito. Imagine Calzaghe fighting someone who grinds out opponents like Margarito or Froch. Calzaghe doesn't look like he would win right? Because Calzaghe's game is based on throwing a billion punches, what happens when his opponent is doing the same thing and just blocks punches with his face? Calzaghe doesn't look so pretty.
Erm, Froch's work rate isn't that high. Certainly not nearly as high as Calzaghe's. Your a loon to think as such. Calzaghe's faced guys whom hit roughly as hard, more accurately and quicker. If he does get hit hard its rare and he takes it just fine.
Also, Carl has better form/technique than Calzaghe. Where Calzaghe is throwing a billion punches that look like slaps. Carl Froch is throwing a billion punches with a closed fist. So, who naturally will cause more damage? Carl Froch.
So if Joe just closed his fists more he'd win. You imbecile. Joe doesn't win by KO, and nor does Carl because he couldn't land much on a mobile quick Dirrell, he also couldn't on Joe whom as backup has a tough chin. You view things extremely simplified.
If Calzaghe doesn't go down in the late rounds. Then it would be a SD in Froch's favor. If Calzaghe was to somehow win, it would be HIGHLY disputed.
Carl Froch can beat Joe Calzaghe.
So Carl, whom is roughly as powerful as Kessler, not as accurate or fast, is around as active with worser footwork, would manage to land flush shots with more regularity, to the extent he would be the first to not just come close to, but KO Calzaghe!?!
Then, you say Carl would win a close SD, but if it was a SD to Calzaghe it would be highly disputed. If there's a SD it usual isn't hugely disputed as a SD denotes a close fight, you idiot. In any case, how does Carl win a points decision against Joe, when he struggled doing so against lesser opponents like Taylor and Dirrell?
You make no sense kid.

Not true. How many guys have tried that and failed? A TON. Listen to me right here, my mane.

Carl Froch can beat Joe Calzaghe.
I dont see it.
Direll would and Ward would make a mockery out of him.
AA could be out worked. But Joe can be caught.
Calzaghe would son all three of them, AA doesn't do enough in a fight and direll and ward would just be outworked by him.
its too early in the tourney to tell, if someone dominates this tourney than that means they beat 5-6 really good fighters, I'd give them a shot.
But seriously the hate on Joe is ridiculous, i know some people love him so much you want to hate him, but the guy was really really good.
have you seen what dirrell does when he gets pushed in a corner and is under pressure?
the guy explodes into his own flurry, and he's faster than calzaghe, probabley hits harder too
calzaghe would beat dirrell
we know what happened with kessler, i think cal wud school froch due to froch lunging with long shots, cal wud sit in the pocket like he did with jones jr, i think he wud outclass abraham cos i think hes overrated and dont think he cud adjust to cals strange style, i think the best fighter in S6 is ward and i thing tht wud be a very hard fight for joe but as a fan of him i think id put my money on him tbh
Calzaghe would make Dirrell his b*tch. Ward? Maybe in another year if he progresses at this rate. That's it.

Anyone saying Froch or Abraham are mad. Calzaghe is quite mobile, and has a damn tough chin if you do manage to land clean much so isn't being KO'd.
So how do Froch and Abraham whose punch out put and speed is half Calzaghe's, get a decision?
Ward's the only one and I still think he's just an exciting quick sound technical guy that would struggle late on and lose.
But hey, he's the best thing since sliced bread in one fight, so peeps will prob wish, I mean say he'd beat Joe. He doesn't though.
rusty calzaghe or no rusty calzaghe, ward would kick his over hyped ass all over the place. it's really a EASY answer to how you beat calzaghe. (CONTROL AND TIMING) hopkins did a good job with this and calzaghe barely escaped with a split decision LOL ward and dawson would kick calzaghes ass. i actually think that calzaghe won't be fighting any of these guys though because he isn't gonna come out of retirement.
Yeah Hopkins did a good job but came up a hair short. And Im not sure Ward beats that version of Hopkins either.
