If Calzaghe fought Froch's recent opponents...

[Kris Silver]

Based on what?

Him playing to Froch's favour going to war with him.

Fight like he did against Dawson, he wins.

Froch hasnt been going to war in his recent fights either. If you watch the Pascal fight again, Froch outboxes Pascal down the stretch. He won going to war and he won in a boxing contest. He is simply the better man.

[Uturn]

Zag would still be undefeated.

[P4P Opinion]

I think people have forgotten Calzaghe's style.

Stylistically, Calzaghe does not match up well with someone like Dirrell at all. He won't be able to get on the inside and do his slap flurry. His imaginary illusiveness, is non existent because Dirrell fights on the outside using footwork to stay away and using his jab to keep Calzaghe at bay. Then using a right cross every so often when opponents come charging in.

Speed wise. Dirrell's punch + his natural reach is much quicker than any head movement Calzaghe can attempt. So that jab is gonna find it's target frequently from the outside.

Calzaghe won't keep up with Dirrell using technique. He would have to charge in at him. Even then Dirrell is no novice at finding a way to run his ass across the ring.

I don't even like Dirrell but he obviously beats Calzaghe. Style wise. Which is all we can even go off of at this moment. Dirrell is a nightmare for Calzaghe. Period.

Calzaghe is great at fighting stationary targets who are slower than him. Dirrell is faster than him and has a style that Calzaghe simply can't cope with. Calzaghe's best wins are against mid ranged guys, Hell i don't even think he fought a legit opponent with an outside boxing style.

Dirrell beats Calzaghe.

I can see where you're coming from and I agree that Dirrell would give Calzaghe problems, but your analysis is even more theoretical than normal hypothetical match-ups. All you can base your prediction on is one good performance against Abraham, a static-target fighter with no work-rate and one unlucky, but tight decision performance against a rangy brawler in Froch. Your evidence is weak.
