Who is ranked higher in your opinion Froch or Calzaghe

Froch has fought harder competition, but joe is the better fighter... Joe a 2 division undefeated lineal champ froch doesnt have 1 lineal championship,, plus froch lost to kessler who calzaghe clearly beat.... i like both guys, but i rank joe higher

Frochs resume has more depth, Calzaghes has longevity, Hopkins and his record. I rank Joe higher but Froch has more names on it I think Hopkins and the fact Calzaghe is the much better fighter IMO make it so. The Hopkins win was marginal. It adds nothing to Joe's resume. He was a great fighter, sure, but the fight proved nothing. Hopkins has always been an absolute turd, and Joe made hard work of it. H2H - Calzaghe Resume vs. Resume - Froch

Froch. Better resume, doesn't avoid anyone and I think he could beat Calzaghe also. Oh, and Calzaghe's best 'win' was a clear loss IMO, Hopkins done all the good/effective work; lots of slapping punches that hit air and shoulders isn't anything.

I don't know if I would use the word great but to me Calzaghe is certainly ahead of Froch and certainly much closer to actual greatness. I have no reserve at all saying that Calzaghe is an ATG. Is he on Roy and Bernard's level? No. But to me, based on what he managed to do, he is an ATG. 20+ defenses at SMW and the lineal 168 and 175 titles was special. On a down side, I think he should have continued to fight. A Calzaghe-Froch fight would have been epic anywhere in the UK.

This is a good post. Well done. Froch: Good. Calzaghe: Great. I don't know if I would use the word great but to me Calzaghe is certainly ahead of Froch and certainly much closer to actual greatness.

Froch only has a better resume if you don't count loses as negatives and people are count Dirrell as a good win for Froch now~ a fight were he did absolutely nothing and proved nothing. Sure Froch fought better guys but what happened in those fights he lost to Ward easily, he lost to Kessler but evened up the score at a later date and he should have lost to Dirrell. Calzaghe was fortunate against Reid but other than that he took care of business. This is a good post. Well done. Froch: Good. Calzaghe: Great.

Froch has a better resume How does he have a better resume? Joe has the greatest SMW record ever.

I agree. Even Enzo said before the last round you are way behind you have to KO him to win! Joe would never rematch BH cuz he knew he could do nothing with him. He didn't rematch him because Hopkins makes an ugly fight no matter who he faces. Forever. Period.

I think calzaghe gets way too much credit for the hopkins win. He was literally pitty patting. Its an arguable victory. I had hopkins winning. Had he rematched hopkins and beat him clearly it would be a different story. A win is a win against an ATG. Joe beat him when he said there's no way a 'white boy' could. Based on what Hopkins has went on to do, (and I think he would beat Stevenson) that win was a lot better than originally perceived.

Calzaghe. Not. Even. Close. His unbeaten title defense stretch has to be taken into consideration even if he didn't always fight great opposition. That said, I would put money on Calzaghe unretiring and beating Froch now. No disrespect to Froch, but Joe was on Ward's level and as was demonstrated in their fight, he is not.

Calzaghe by a long long way primarily because I wouldn't have Froch ever beating him regardless of how great his resume is.

I would say JC is the better fighter, but credit has to be given to Froch for fighting everyone. Froch has proven if you fight everyone, some you will win and of course some you may lose, but at least Froch fought them. I like Froch now much more than when he was the young upstart having a go at JC.

Calzaghe was lineal champion at 168 and 175. How does Froch have the better resume?

FROCH'S RESUME > CALZAGHE'S Froch has guts and isn't even finished yet Calzaghe in line with Ottke, Dariusz M

With these hypothetical match ups you can usually make a reasonable case for both guys but, as much as I admire warrior Froch, I could see nothing but a wide UD for a prime Joe over a prime Carl.

Froch easy
