Calzaghe is for the casual fans who like a nice tidy "0"
Froch is a throwback gladiator for real fight fansComment

When i was talking about the three HOF worthy fighters that calzaghe beat I was talking about hopkins, kessler and eubank.Kessler being Hall of Fame is highly debatable and I'd say it's a longer shot than you think. And Joe should never, ever, get credit for beating Jones as 'beating a Hall of Famer.' That's like giving Holmes credit for Ali. It's literally true, but the context is important. I'm not even sure Ward is HOF yet either. I'd say its likely, and he is WELL on track, but if he ran into a Lloyd Honeyghan type (a la Curry) or a Toney (a la Michael Nunn who was about as highly regarded as Ward to a wider audience), the HOF could vanish.
the jones win doesn't even count in my book.
I really think kess is HOF worthy - lucas, beyer, mundine, andrade and froch is nothing to be looked down upon. In his prime he beat every SMW he faced except 2.Comment

Eubank has never even made the ballot. I have written about why I think he, and Benn, both should be up for the vote. Kessler getting a vote would be good with me someday too.When i was talking about the three HOF worthy fighters that calzaghe beat I was talking about hopkins, kessler and eubank.

I disagree, Benn beat Eubank in that rematch. Froch is made of Steel but even he hasnt been in with a puncher like Benn who was just vicious in his assaults!
Eubank stands out to me when u name those three fighters not Benn. And its not because i think he's a lesser fighter but it because he was a duck, Benn went to war with the Yanks, Froch too but Bank openly ducked the best.Comment

Benn beat Eubank but other than that he has Mclellan, a scrappy middleweight and not much else.I disagree, Benn beat Eubank in that rematch. Froch is made of Steel but even he hasnt been in with a puncher like Benn who was just vicious in his assaults!

Benn was as thrilling in his day, IMO, as Gatti with higher quality opp, wins, and a lengthy title reign at 68. Eubank (loss and draw), McClellan, Barkley, wars with others win and lose, sold tickets mad...he had a pretty full docket.Comment
