Carl Froch is better than Calzaghe in one regard

[Mozza]

Froch is also british so hes better by default

What does that mean exactly?

So is Calzaghe, you twonk.

[Chunk..]

I think some of you lot are missing the point of this thread?

Froch went to America to fight a biggish name in Jermain Taylor in his first defense of his world title.

Calzaghe's first defense of his world title was in Cardiff against Branko Sobot. The America dream didn't happen till 11 years later (Hopkins).

Every man and his dog knows Calzaghe is more skilled and talented then Froch, but the point of this thread is a good one.

Carry on.

[JR Rider]

In only his 2nd championship fight hes managed to make a name for himself in America, it took Calzaghe 20 fights.

He may not have Calzaghe's skill but what he lacks he compensates with heart and determination to beat the best

How is Calzaghe not British?

Calzaghe had all the skills apart from a dynamite punch.

Froch has no skills except a dynamite punch.

Big difference.

Dynamite b*tch slaps you mean?

Joe fought Branko Sobot becuase he was his mandatory, exactly the same reason that Carl fought Taylor.

The fact that Sobot was willing to go to the champions backyard says more positive things about him than it does negative things about Calzaghe.

Carl will always get my respect for having the balls to fight Taylor in America, even though his promoter won the purse bids and could have denied Taylor his shot if he wouldn't fight on Carl's terms.

I gotta admit froch has more heart and no fear unlike calz, but calz would beat froch no problem.

You forgot to add that Froch considers himself Polish (which I found hilarious) he said on Radio 5 live he would like to fight once in Poland (both his parents are Polish).

I'ev always said it...Calzaghe would beat Taylor now, as he would then if they had fought.

Carl Froch, good for him for coming to the US early. But in my eyes, Calzaghe proved he is a great fighter nonetheless and I would bet on Calzaghe beating Froch, Dawson or any other super middleweight if he decided to come back.

Zaghe can't beat Dawson, bet on it. More likely to beat Froch but even him i don't know. Dawson is too fast, too active (doesn't fade), too good for Zaghe.
