Froch = the better resume. Calzaghe = the better fighter.

    and dirrell and calzaghe are both fast southpaws. similar height and reach. styles are different, but there are physical traits that make them more similar than froch and rreid. froch and robin reid aren't realy alike at all. 3-4 inches height difference to start, froch is slow of hand and particularly his upper body, and relies heavily on his reach. fast footed fighters give guys like that a ton of problems, as evidenced by froch's poor showings against dirrell, ward, and taylor.
    Dirrell's a really talented fighter and way better than Reid. He's a real underachiever.

    I can't compare those two.

    I understand Calzaghe had some tools that may trouble Froch but Calzaghe never fought anyone like Froch. Froch would take it to him and do damage. Calzaghe is no Ward.

      While I like Calzaghe, he never knocked out anyone in front of 80,000 at Wembley. FACT!

        Frock is better, as a fighter, but joe just threw so many punches per round a lot of his opponents couldn't get on track.

          Froch is the better fighter and has a way better resume.

            Froch is the greater fighter, but Joe probably would've won head to head at the time

              Chris Eubank Senior is better than anyone Carl Froch has beaten 'Even at that stage in his career'.

              Note: Calzaghe has a underrated resume 'But overall Froch probably has a deeper resume' etc

                do you know how you can tell calzaghe is a fraud? the way he speaks about the roy jones fight.

                when larry holmes talks about fighting ali he doesnt pretend it was a great win, he admits that wasnt muhammad ali in the ring that night.

                when tyson talks about beating holmes, he doesnt pretend he achieved a huge feat, he admits that version of holmes wasnt the same guy who ruled the world for years.

                marciano-louis, pacquiao-dlh, garcia-morales.. the list goes on and on.

                the only guys who beat a washed up corpse (and every single one of us knows roy was shot to hell) and pretend its a big deal are ppl who have no other leg to stand on for their so called legacy, not to mention no sincerity, no dignity and no shame as human beings.

                calzaghe doesnt admit he beat a corpse, he wants to walk around and act as if he beat the real roy jones when we all know thats not the case.

                thats no champion.

                froch would never do such a thing.

                Roy Ring ranked #5 when SuperJoe diced him up for U upgrade from strained to Chunky.

                Lot of admiration for Froch the fighter, U toddlers soiling U trainers ain't doing him no favors.
