Do you think Froch would give Calzaghe a pasting?

    I think people always remember the ko's instead of technical fights which is why Froch is very popular nowadays.
    but your some ugly internet poster, im realing off top press row, top pundits(american) and top boxers all scoring it to froch.

    Even boxrec punch stats scored it to froch

    So your opinion is worth very little, the fights on youtube, i love you to talk us through how you thought dirrell won????

      Calzaghe would be a little too fast and a little too active but Froch has the power to hurt him, maybe drop him and make the fight competitive but I don't see how he could beat him.

      Calzaghe was a terrific fighter with great intelligence, he knew how to frustrate fighters and make them fight his fight.

        Two of the scorecards against Ward were also very kind to Froch. The 118-110 scorecard was the best scorecard out of the three. If you take the majority score of each round between the three scorecards you get 117-111 Ward which is perhaps the best scorecard for that fight.
        very poor??i had front row seats to the fight mate, better view than you, and everyone in the arena couldnt believe dirrell got a draw. Dirrell was marked up froch was unmarked.

        The two score cards 115-113 were American. Im not saying they were perfect but Ward certainly did not dominate Carl froch in his home town of America like you have us believe. He won, and it was conclusive, but no schooling.

        Ward would not beat froch in England......

            He lost 11 rounds to Taylor, lost to Dirrell, fought a much closer fight than anticipated against an old Johnson, lost to Kessler.

            Calzaghe beat Kessler, beat Hopkins, beat Bika, beat an old Eubank, lost to nobody.
            Why do people keep perpetuating this absolute myth? You've either not seen the fight or are being deliberately ******ed for effect.

                When I first saw Calzaghe fight I was like: Who the hell slaps like that? But he just kept winning and not just barely winning he was knocking people out. Then he was scheduled to fight Jeff Lacy. At the time Lacy was touted as the best puncher in the division. Joe just kept him in check all night and almost KO'd Jeff...

                Anyway, I degress: To answer your question Froch doesn't paste Calzaghe. I envision it being almost like the Kessler battles that Froch had only the edge would be with Joe, IMHO.

                  Well if you had front row seats then your scorecard must be good....Dirrell did not get a draw so i'm not sure what you are even saying now.

                  I didn't say it was a schooling, I said it was wider than 115-113 and far clearer a victory than those two scorecards would suggest. Froch was never really in the fight against Ward.

                  It is unlikely Ward and Froch will ever fight again nevermind in England so we will never know but I doubt fighting in England would make much difference, perhaps give Froch an extra edge than he'd otherwise have but Ward is just too good for him.

                    i said that froch won 4 rounds and all the top American trainers, fighters, and pundits all agreed with me.

                    So i won that one, please calzaghe is better than Froch, but when i hear crap like "ward domiated froch" or DIRRELL beat froch or taylor won all 11 rounds before the ko. You have to question some of the IQ on this forum.

                    Froch is a ATG supermiddle weight, imo only behind Calzaghe. My beef is not that Calzaghe is better than him, my beef is the halariously ****e "facts" that float around about Carl froch.

                      Joe would box the living day lights out of Froch.

                      The argument will be that Froch would beat or ko Calzaghe because of Froch having a ten times better resume than Joe.
