    This is the problem with comparing achievements... Joe Calzaghe crafted a very cautious path throughout his career, he was a titleholder for years and cherry picked a few names at the end of his career as a gloss over a weak resume but naturally impressive sounding record. Now there's a reason this type of career planning goes on and it's because on the face of things JC's record and notable wins sound like one hell of an achievement.

    The most important question to ask would be this: who would win a fight between Froch and Calzaghe? Personally I have The Cobra of last night by decapitation at any stage in Calzaghe's career.

              Cokezaghe got the talent and the potential, but not the same kind of resume Froch has after the super 6

                    No way. Sure Froch has taken on tough competition, but he failed against both Ward and Kessler. A prime Kessler was completely picked apart by Joe. You look at Froch's resume, his best win was against Jermaine Taylor IMO and that was a gutsy, but lucky victory.
                    Don't get me wrong, I like and fully respect Froch and his balls to take on anyone in any town, but bluntly he has come short in his real tests. I have never been a believer in Bute also, I think he was overprotected fighter who fought tailored opponents.
                    When it comes down to everything, Calzaghe would have put a clinic on Froch ala Andre Ward.
