Who has the Better Resume Froch or Calzaghe?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

he fought again and lost twice. he never won another fight in his career and hadn't beaten anyone good in years and years when he fought calzaghe. but he was great no doubt about it!

Eubank twice challenged for the Cruiserweight title after losing to Calzaghe. He dropped Carl Thompson in an epic first fight which he lost very narrowly. He got stopped on a bad eye injury in the rematch when he was winning the fight.

The contrast

we are both right. i just happen to be more right. carl thompson was never a good boxer. he was a slugger. it's no surprise eubank was able to win some rounds but he couldn't fight effectively for more than 5 rounds in either fight. the sign of a finished fighter. similar to hatton vs senchenko. looked good for a bit then.....done. it was impressive that eubank didn't get ko'd in either fight but that's about it. johnny nelson schooled thompson in his next fight. johnny nelson....

having said tht id still favor joe to win

I'm more impressed with Froch. Calzaghe is Britain's Floyd.

Forget Calzaghe, in terms of the fighters he's fought consecutively, Froch has a better resume than almost anyone in modern boxing history.

Carl Thompson was a tough guy. He had a huge size advantage on Eubank. Remember this is a guy who took David Haye's best and stopped him. Eubank always tired in fights. Prime or past prime. Lol@ comparing it to Hatton. Eubank was a very solid win for Calzaghe considering where he was in his career (Joe).

Reasonably close but Froch.

He fought in a better era, against higher ranked opposition and just beat better fighters.

Calzaghe beat a better version of Kessler, Froch lost to perhaps an equivalent version and beat possibily a slightly worse version. Calzaghe beat Eubank and Hopkins, both more impressive than any of Froch's wins. People are overrating Froch's wins over various contenders because of ignorance of equivalent wins by Calzaghe. The bias of familiarity.

I would have to argue that Eubank, who was unranked at 168, took the fight on a weeks notice, hadn't had a legit win in years and considered to be passed his prime about 5 years prior is absolutely not more impressive than all of Frochs wins.
