    Trying to stay relevant, when he should be thankful of his own good fortune.

    He'll never give Froch his dues.

      God, Calzaghe is the worst - I can't stand him. The IBHOF is diluted with this guy in it

      Rather have 10 Gatti's in there with a sprinkle of Ward here and there before this buffoon

      He conquered America? By losing to Hopkins and fighting a shot RJJ? Go back to snorting your coke bro and sit down

        Their legacy's and resumes and not even close. Froch is really really good,but Joey is a top 20 ATG. He brutally beat 2 legends in their prime on their own turf in Roy Jones Jr and B-Hop.

        H2H Joe mauls Froch and knocks him out cold with a flurry of punches.
        You my friend, don’t know **** about boxing.

          He beat Hopkins. US venue, US ref, three US judges fighting against a legendary US boxer and he won a decision. The two winning cards were 115-112, and 116-111 so it wasn't even on a knife-edge.

            He landed nothing of consequence - literally nothing but wailing arm punches. All meaningful and clean punches were by Hopkins

            He got points for an ineffective barrage of slaps

              Is there a US bias I don't know about? Please cite examples, thanks.

                I am not a Calzaghe fan but he actually beat Hopkins and seeing B-Hops still performing up to today, that win is easily the best on Joe's resume/career...

                    Hopkins didn't win, his punch output was way too low, add to that the histrionics and play-acting there was no way he'd get the decision in a close fight.

                      Haha as if Calzaghe's slaps could knock out the cobra. A much more likely outcome is Joe outworking Froch to a UD.
