    Dirrell based on talent, he'll prove himself in the future. However Bute on credentials, Bute like Calzaghe had something like 15title defenses against a bunch of bums going into the Froch fight and was ranked p4p etc. Bute on what he did before the fight, Pascal on what he accomplished after the fight, but Dirrell imo based on abillity. Dirrell wouldve beaten Calzaghe and might even beat Ward, thats how crazy talented this kid is, he'll prove himself in the future

      Talent = potential unfulfilled.

      WHAT HAS DIRRELL ACCOMPLISHED?

      You insult Froch by saying that his best win is over someone who has accomplished squat.

        Calzaghe fans will argue no matter what... The only thing they have in the argument is "Calzaghe would probably win if they fought"

        Outside of that, they have nothing

            Yeah that's why it makes no sense. He could also go on to do absolutely squat. So...as it stands...he's accomplished nothing.

              Doesnt matter about the Dirrell arguement, that'll look good on Carls record in a few years not now, his best win is Bute based on the fact he was ranked top10 p4p, had something like 15title defenses etc. Bute a close second who went on to become the lightheavyweight champ. However his he did beat other noteworthy people like former middleweight champs Abraham/Taylor, former supermiddleweight champ who won 5rounds vs calzaghe in Kessler(a guy he couldve stopped in the 5th and will **** in the rematch at his best), and many others like former lightheavyweight king Glen Johnson.

              Frochs resume is already made, based on the accopmlishment of his average opponents, even if he retired today, his resume is a different class and league to calzaghe. To think that theres still so much left in his career!

                  You said Froch beat all those guys except Ward. He lost to Kessler and I agree with that decision. Calzaghe beat Kessler by a good amount. Their resumes are close but I'll go with Calzaghe. Froch has a much more fan friendly style but Calzaghe was effective with more speed and a better defense than Froch in my opinion. Froch fought better guys overall but he lost twice.
