Calzaghe: "I would have destroyed Froch, there is no comparison"

[adietheforestfa]

Calzaghr would hae beaten froch 8-10 times, but didnt he fight Peter manfredo over froch????

and the MIGHTY Evans Ashira.

Calzaghe only beat Robin Reid with a very questionable split decision.

[adietheforestfa]

Joe is plain jealous.

FROCH is more Exciting.
FROCH sells more Tickets.
FROCH fights the best in his division.
can you see Froch taking a fight with Ashira or Manfredo??

Calzaghe had many fights with complete bums who never did anything to deserve a World Title fight.

Joe needs to STFU

[adietheforestfa]

Froch better career how?
He clearly lost to Kessler when Mikkel was still game.
He clearly took a fight with J.Taylor after Taylor got his ass beat by Kelly twice and not to mention the two wars with Bhop...
He was schooled by Andre Dirrell but got a gift decision and Ward schooled him aswell lol.

His best wins are Pascall, Abraham and Bika...
Joes are Eubank, Bhop, Kessler
Abraham and Jeff Lacy are comparable both are overrated and soon as they stepped up they got exposed to not be that good and you can make a similar comparison to Richie Woodhall and George Groves but atleast Woodhall won a world title!

Bika????? Good post Numpty.

The Hopkins fight was far from a gift lol. I remember thinking it was a draw. Joe outworked him but Hopkins scored the kd and landed cleaner. From memory, not really a fight I wanna watch again lol

I watched it just a couple weeks ago. Competitive fight, but I think the better man that night got the decision without a doubt. Hopkins did score the nice KD in round 1, but he faded bad in the fight, and Calzaghe just kept coming on strong. Hopkins scored some good clean shots from time to time, but so did Joe, and on top of that, Calzaghe just plain outworked and outlanded him. I, personally, think Hopkins is lucky it wasn't a 15 round fight because I think Calzaghe would have won by an even wider margin. And with every record Hopkins breaks, as much as his haters hate it, it does enhance Joe's 'W' over him. Hopkins had it coming anyway with all of his racist nonsense pre-fight.

well he didn't outland him that's been clearly proven but you think he did so i guess that's all that matters. throwing a lot of crap punches that don't land while getting hit in return=being the better man. you really understand boxing.

I think Joe feels threatened that Froch has in fact, surpassed him in popularity and greatness. I can honestly say...Carl Froch is a legend. Especially in the UK.

Watched it two weeks ago, so you can't just state things as Gospel truth anymore than I can. I watched the fight. And I love and watch a ton of boxing. Hopkins landed some good, clean shots on Calzaghe, but these were occasional. Meanwhile, Calzaghe adjusted to Bernard as the fight progressed, and was also landing punches on Hopkins; more frequently and aggressively, showing ring generalship which fights are also scored on. Bottom line is, I think Calzaghe clearly deserved the win, and the judges agreed. American judges.

I love Froch, but styles do make fights, and I think Calzaghe would beat him as well.

Who in recent times has fought the string of opposition that Froch has?

That question doesn't have anything to do with your previous claim.

What is the start date of 'modern boxing history'?

Recent times. I don't know. Let's say post Millennium.
