Froch will go down as greater than Calzaghe. He is arguably a bigger name right now than Joe ever was, too

Funnily enough I don't think he will. Calzaghe was No.2 PFP at one point.

frochs resume has alot of big names but its far from great. taylor was shot, johnson is a gatekeeper, bute was overrated (just like lacy) and AA is very limited. his best wins are direll and pascal.

froch is not an elite fighter and it shows because whenever he comes up against an elite fighter (ward and kessler) he loses. froch is a fighter who is the best of the rest.

calzaghe would have boxed his ears off. joe did face fighters who had no right to be in the ring with him (manfredo?!). however he cleared out the top 10 in his era and in 2003 he should have unified the WBA and IBF titles when he beat mitchell (mitchell had just been robbed in germany thanks to sven ottke).

warren however probably didn't offer the fight to froch. froch was still beating domestic competition by the time joe had moved up to LHW.

Yes he is and he beat Kessler, arguably twice.
