IMO, Froch is a greater fighter than Calzaghe.

Calzaghe was the better boxer. It was a great win for Froch but let's not get a head of ourselves. The fight last night was like a MMA bout without the grappling. Alot of punches thrown until someone got knocked out. Bute actually did better during the little of bit boxing that occurred. Calzaghe threw better punches with more speed and accuracy. His defense was way better than Froch's. Believe me, I'm not a Calzaghe fan but the truth is the truth.

I've felt like this for a long time and stated many times on this very site that the Cobra is the man. I don't know why there is a love infatuation with Joe Calzaghe but there clearly is for people across the pond. I think it has a lot to do with him being undefeated and cruising through his competition but that just needs to stop.

I respect Calzaghe a bit because it isn't easy to do what he did but his resume pales in comparison to Frochs. Yes, Calzaghe is undefeated, cong**** but being undefeated means very little to me. I care about who you fought and when you fought them. The Cobra is beating guys that are at the top of their game and never been in a boring fight. I don't care if Froch got schooled by Ward because there wasn't a Ward skill level fight ever on Calzaghes resume.

well everybody is entitled to their opinion.

froch gets more respect for fighting better fighters, but what is frochs best win? bute? abraham? dirrell is a good fighter but i dont think froch beat him.

calzaghe has a win over hopkins who was p4p number 3 at the time and went on to reclaim the light heavyweight title after his loss. i think that win is better than any win froch has.

also, calzaghe won titles in 2 weight classes. id still give the edge to calzaghe.
