Whoa whoa whoa. lol -
The fact that it's even a discussion about who's greater must irritate Calzaghe. He admitted he didn't expect Froch to have the career he had but he probably slightly regrets not putting him in his place when he had the chance.Comment

What stats Carl?
I like Froch but his record doesdoesn't stack up to Calzaghe's.
Joe was the man in 2 weight divisions when he retired - Ring champ in both.
Carl has never been no:1 in the SMW division.
They'vE fought a similar level of opponents - Joe has a lot of World Champions on his resume more than Carl so I dont see where he's coming from there either.
Ultimately Joe's got 2 wins that Froch can't match - a prime peak and undE feared Kessler and legend Hopkins at LHW. Carl doesn't have any as good as thowe 2.
Losing to a more shop worn version of Kessler before beating onE well past his best.
Hopkins went on to defeat Pascal who is arguably FRoch 2nd best win (some years after losing to Calzaghe).
Froch also struggled and was at times outboxed anx out classed in a lot of fights in a way Calzaghe never was - Taylor, Darrell, Ward, Groves 1.
I think Joe getting to fight in Vegas and MS Garden rankles with Froch as the best he fought will at was the Boardwalk Atlantic City.
I just can't see how Froch record stacks up - he fought a good level of opposition but ultimately fell short twice has never been no 1 in one division where Joe was in 2 and he doesn't have 2 wins as good as Joe's 2.Comment

Calzaghe vs Froch is one of the dream matches I would have loved to watch. I would have had Calzaghe by decision but it would have been a hell of a matchup.Comment

Froch has also come out and said that.... apparently Ward has ducked the rematch because he wouldn't come to Nottingham and had the fight happened there he would have beaten Ward.
That's a low blow considering Ward spoke well of Froch today.
Froch's comments on this are also laughable. He should be the one chasing the Ward rematch and should be prepared to cone to America to do it.
Ward was prepared quo come to London even though as the Champion and winner he shouldn't have to, but Froch wanted it in Nottingham. Had Ward agreed to Nottingham Froch would have changed it to his back garden.
Ward said Wembley or the o2 arena.
Froch is on record as saying he thinks ward is unbeatable so why not be honest and say you didn't want the fight.
Trying to rewrite history - nobodies fooled.
Something similar happened when Froch said he'd fight Hopkins, soon as Hopkins called him on it - he then said it has to be in Nottingham, then when Hopkins said I'll come to Nottingham Froch just shut up about it altogether, even after Hopkins called him a coward live on sky sports.Comment

Froch is better at running his mouth, which I guess is why he's taking on Sky Sports (is it?) rather than GGG or Ward at this point.
Joe is obviously is the better boxer and, prime vs prime, would have mongoosed Froch.Last edited by lane99; 07-14-2015, 08:54 PM.Comment

Bitter about what? 2 defeats?
Always was and will be in Calzaghe's shadow. Bitter would be Carl obsessing over a guy who retired ages ago even to this day.
Froch was never the best in his own division, Joe was in not 1, but 2 divisions.Comment
