Carl Froch has surpassed Joe Calzaghe

[daggum]

Ah. Ottke. That Reid fight and officiating was remarkable.

ever seen calzaghe's fights? should we post the early stoppage bonanza again? they were both frauds its just you happen to like one fraud better than the other because you've formed a special connection with him and his paper career.

Calzaghe was a SMW in April 2008. Lie.
Froch was a credible opponent in April 2008. Lie.
Calzaghe didn't vacate the title. Lie.

You're not very good at this. Night night champ.

He was the SMW Champion in April 2008.

Agreed on the second point, I never said he was.

And yeah obviously he vacated the belt when he retired But he hadn't vacated when Froch was the mandatory.

Do some research.

If you put the best ever version of Calzaghe against the best ever version of Froch maybe Joe wins. Maybe.

But the Cobra has had the better career.

Maybe?

Dude prime for prime Froch stands 0 chance. Past prime 36 year old Calzaghe, yeah Froch has a puncher's chance but I don't see him winning.

[wazaa 5.0]

No doubt about it.

Froch is 10 times the man Calzaghe is.

[KillaMane26]

Froch had the better career/ fight resume.......Joe was kinda fast though no power with those slapping punches but enuff skill to effective.....at the end of the day Joe's undefeated record was and always will be a joke to most boxing fans....

[FrankieBruno]

Lol..............

[Kagami Taiga]

To me there's no doubt about that. Froch has had an excellent hof worthy career.

[LoadedWraps]

In terms of resume and career achievements in my opinion. That was a young, hungry fighter that he just knocked out.

He's not feasting on 40 year olds.

For being what I generally consider a great poster, you post some absurd things from time to time. I guess even shoulderroll gets to troll now and then too though.

Slappy never beat a legit fighter in their prime. Nobody will remember him down the line, but Froch is a certified G.

Slappy never beat a legit fighter in their prime. Nobody will remember him down the line, but Froch is a certified G.

He handily beat a prime undefeated Mikkel Kessler, who if I am being honest Froch never beat in my eyes. First fight Kessler won, second fight I had a Draw. Regardless, when Froch did finally 'beat' Kessler, we all know it was an unmotivated Kessler talking about retirement in all of his interviews and had an eye injury that we don't know if it was 100%.

He should get credit for Hopkins as well because Hopkins went on to beat Pavlik, Pascal, Cloud, and it's possible that he goes on to beat Stevenson and become the lineal champ at 175. IMO current Hopkins schools Froch.

Sakio Bika is as legit a fighter a they come and Calzaghe beat a prime Bika.

There's also Jeff Lacy. Yeah he became a bust after the fact, but Calzaghe was underdog to lose even in home country they were in the Lacy hype.
