Froch Vs. Calzaghe

[The Monk]

What does Froch do better than Kessler exactly?

Erm, is there even one thing?

Carl has more power and a better chin.

Anyone that thinks Joe is knocking Carl out is mad. Joe will take the decision, but has no chance of knocking Carl out, unless its one of those Manfredo stoppages.

I like Froch, but Calzaghe would've schooled him had they fought...

So f.ucking what? Can you see any of this current crop doing any better in the same circumstance?

the current crop of SMW's seems to be getting a bit of extra love recently what with the super 6 and all that

alot of people seem to overestimate their abilities, their all good fighters don't get me wrong but someone was saying on NSB that if froch manages to beat them all he already has a better resume than zaghe which imo is clearly false.

calzaghes faced alot of former champs (brewr, mitchell, reid etc) and dominated the top 10 in his division (ottke excluded). in all honesty joes reign at SMW does remind me alot of lennox lewis, they were the best SMW long before they unified the belts and faced a level of comp that is/will only be accredited in hindsight.

[Chunk..]

Calzaghe is God.

Why would Froch even bother getting in the ring with the son of man?!?

[D-MiZe]

Why do people say Froch has great power?

[Joe Frazier]

Maybe I'll refer him to this thread.

Should shut him up.

I'll play along...

Kessler landed several full power flush shots on Calzaghe's chin and he didn't even go down, was fine. How is Froch's 5% more power at most (I'mt not convinced it's any) going to KO Calazaghe? That's even if he can land more of those shots with less speed and accuracy than Kessler. So very unlikely on both fronts.

Secondly, what's the point in Froch having a tougher chin than Kessler? Calzaghe was unlikely to to head shot and KO Kessler nor would he Froch. So where's the benefit?

Calzaghe did hurt Mikkel with a body shot however, which would have lead to a TKO, Technical Knock out , so what's to say he couldn't to Froch whom is far easier to hit?

[STEELHEAD]

One of the guys that I speak to in the gym is a real Froch fan-boy. Our discussions often turn into arguments when he claims that Calzaghe retired purely to avoid fighting Froch and (according to him), should Calzaghe have fought Froch then it would have been a KO.

I can say two things about people who are of this opinion.

1. If I were ever to drink with them, 9/10 I would end up punching them if they said that.

2. They clearly live life ignorant to the sheer adaptability in Calzaghe's game.

I'm not saying Froch is a bad fighter...what I am saying is that he is a disrespectful [insert appropriate swear] and needs a good knocking off of someone. Don't get me wrong, I would have loved to see Calzaghe do it.

just rewatched the froch/taylor. its one of thos fights that looks different second watch.
man what a fckg great fight. i mean i know this fight will not win points on tecnikal boxing skills but...

so i guess your talking about post fight interview when he was jibe ing calzaghe. i haven't kept up on that scene but to pick on a retired guy
that obviously wouldnt think about fighting him could be conscrewed as a cheapshot.

unless did cal get smart aleck with frock?

this frock with that almost idiot poise. hands down ****ing ways.
with that chin it works. you know he throws punches faster than you think.
and you can't hurt him.

these speedsters that are going to be going up against him are in immediate danger. they'll be dancing all over the place. but they can't hurt him. even if he keeps his hands down and he pulls a nate campbell!
and he can hurt them.
poor dirrel who has he...
froch will make dirrell fight his fight eventually imo.
