I would pick this fight as a comfortable UD for Joe.
However...
Am I the only one who believes that Froch's lack of technique could actually improve his chances against Joe? Joe Calzaghe's famous as the guy who "spoils your boxing" (Kessler). Joe has an astounding ability to nullify a fighter's technique, but let's face it, Froch is no master technician. To sum up Froch in a sentence I'd say "He's a fighter who punches with his heart". I just wonder if his particular style (or the lack thereof) would pose some problems for Joe. Any thoughts?
Quite possibly you are! Calzaghe would just counter and bewilder Froch all day long. If he could land cleanly on a rather static Taylor until the 12th then what hope does he have of landing on Calzaghe? It would literally be a rerun of the Lacy fight.

Granted your scenario is a much more likely one than mine. I was just throwing a hypothetical out there. I do agree with the Lacy analogy.
