    Hopkins at LHW at 43 was better than any Froch win.

      Froch's resume has been significantly better for awhile now. Head to head I'm not sure how I would call it though.

        No he's not. Hopkins at 43 is an old man who is nowhere near his prime, he's a crafty fighter who knows how to fight to his age, a prime, young Hopkins would have face planted Calzaghe, it was also a fight that could have gone either way, it wasn't a decisive win by any stretch for Calzaghe.

          Froch has a far better resume but I am not sure who would win between the two. Still the main point here is Froch's resume. He is above Calzaghe as of now because resumes are what really matter.

              That's true.

                Calzaghe's slaps wouldn't have bothered Froch at all. Froch eclipsed Calzaghe after the Bute win.

                If this was Calzaghe with the Groves stoppage would he have given George a rematch? He would have looked upon it as one of his best performances.

                  True - Calzaghe wouldnt even rematch Reid.

                    Froch has been greater than Slappy for a long time.

                    He just makes the gap bigger with each fight.

                      Heh. No sane person picks Froch over Calzaghe. Maybe the old Calzaghe who fought Jones would lose. Froch always struggled with speed.
