And of course, this is a hypothetical, not a prediction, would this actually make him atleast even with Joe Calzaghe in terms of accomplishments.
Joe Calzaghe..
20 plus defences
Beat Bernard Hopkins, Mikkel Kessler, Jeff Lacy.
Beat a faded Roy Jones and Chris Eubank
Remained and retired undefeated.
In a close to 2 decade-long career, he had only two fights that you could really call close.
Fought past his prime better then most in their primes.
Left on a big note.
Big draw, at home.
Carl Froch..
Will have beaten Andre Dirrell as well as winning an entire tournement with the likes of Abraham, Ward, Kessler (whom he'd have to beat) and Taylor.
Stopped/beat Jermain Taylor.
Would (within the confines of this hypothetical) still be undefeated.
Has a higher Ko ratio, which makes for a wider appeal.
Would have unified a few titles and would have his next big fight with the winner of Bute-Andrade.
Solid win over Jean Pascal who has moved up to capture a title.
Still has a solid couple of years left by the time of the tournements end.
Of course, this can be looked at many different ways. I'm not looking for, "He wont, so it doesn't matter. I don't think he will, either. To be honest. I'm talking hypothetically.
Go for it.
