Whatever stuff Froch was on when said all of this, I need some of that. Dude actually humbled himself and spoke truth to the theoretical possibility of what could have happened between them. Froch was never a defensive wizard, but he had an iron chin and unorthodox way of throwing his shots. Calzaghe's experience, hand speed, movement and activity woulda given him nightmares. Woulda been one hell of a fight if their careers would have overlapped at some point tho.

Just fight now. Tyson is still fighting

Respectful view, Carl

Froch was tough as nails but Calzaghe was just too quick and skilled for him.

Joe would have been favourite to win a wide points decision but old Carl would be in with a slight chance with a unlikely KO.

Froch is a eurobum. Calzaghe is an actual talent

That's nice frochs resume is still much better especially when you factor in jones was shot and Hopkins was old and should have won that fight. Prime ward was much better than both those old guys so I don't even understand your argument. Froch beat better fighters so he's better. Calzaghe did less so why would would be greater? Cause he targeted a couple old guys? If connor benn beats Pacquiao is he great too? You must think Jeff horn is better than frocb cause he beat the FOTD. Weak arguments there. Froch has a quality resume even with losses. That's better than a Mediocre resume with no losses
