      Froch is a tough guy for sure but not sure he is > Calzaghe. Calzaghe beat a still prime Hopkins. I'm not sure any version of Froch beats a prime Hopkins.

        Prime Hopkins? Really?

          LOL Prime Hopkins? That was far from a decisive win as well, could have gone either way, I'd hardly call a 50-50 win a great win against a 43 year old Hopkins.

              Yup, and by a wide margin potential doesn't matter what you do matters. Joe has only a couple notable wins to his credit the 0 doesn't matter.

                Neither could Calzaghe if you actually watched their fight.

                  Ward fans aka "slick boxer" fans are all pumping up Froch and tearing down Joe, because they know Joe would have beaten Ward.

                    I think that's pretty obvious.

                    Froch is clearly ahead of Calzaghe at this point. Has been for abit.

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.
                      not only that but calzaghe REFUSED to give hopkins a rematch (& hopkins wanted it in the u.k.) many people felt that joe lost that fight, that means you should award the rematch.........did joe award the rematch? no. froch awarded the rematch to groves though (& knocked him out after having a close 1st fight) those things tie into legacy too.

                      froch's resume is light years past calzaghies............
