Comments Thread For: Froch on 'Bitter' Calzaghe: My Stats Smash His To Bits!

[bigboxerABC]

Froch could have ended his career on a high note with a big name which would have cemented his legacy much better than it is today. Ending your career fighting some guy barely anyone has heard of twice (Groves) and calling that a world class opponent is far from ideal. Calzaghe dominated his opponents, Froch was always in competitive fights that in many cases could have gone either way. Calzaghe would have knocked him out.

What world class opponents did Froch fight and convincingly beat? He was losing against Jermain Taylor going into the 12th. Dirrell beat him clearly and was robbed on the cards. Andre Ward schooled him. He lost to Kessler as well.

Froch was good but he was not great.

EXACTLY!!!! He was outclassed by the good fighters.
Calzaghe was better than Froch by a mile.

When was PRIME Hopkins? Had wins over Tarver and Pavlik between loss to Joe..ever hear of Mikkel Kessler? He was undefeated and a beast B4 Joe beat him..

My mistake.

[elfag]

lol @ 43 year old hopkins being prime.

Does Holyfield go around and brag about beating george foreman all the ****ing time? No because he was supposed to.

Resume wise, Froch's stinks all over Calzaghe's that much is clear.

However, Calzaghe was probably the better fighter. Probably. That's not clear.

At this point, they should should *uck or fight. Stop talking about each other. I'm better than you, no I am better than you.

It was cool the first 100 times..

it is very clear, joe calzaghe is far better than froch and would have beaten ward on any night of the week. lets not forget, he remained unbeaten throughout his 46 and 0 career with drama and also boredom along the way.
nobody in the u.s was prepared to face him at the time and when they eventually did have the guts........all beaten. carl froch and his 34 or whatever fights is only getting started in terms of longevity but, carl WAS easy to hit whereas joe was not. joe threw more punches in a couple of fights than both froch and ward put together. andre ward is sharp and from what i can see is very good but just wasted the last two years crying about one thing or another and has only two names on his record being froch and kessler (whos "0") the great J.C took when he was a threat.
ward has only 28 fights and americans are calling him one of the best?
what? ray robbo had more than 100 fights before people credited him with being one of the best INFACT it was probably after he died that we only gave him this entitlement as a great.
ward=pretty good so far.
froch=exciting because he could take a punch and throw hard too.
joe calzaghe= unbeaten in 46, beat every "great" american put in front of him,threw more punches per fight than anybody in the modern era(certainly at the weight) and goes down in the history books.
the other two....? froch wont and wards career is just getting started so lets see, its far to early to start saying hes this or that because hes not....yet.

[Weltschmerz]

Calzaghe would have beaten Froch rather comprehensively, regardless of who has the finer resume. Calzaghe had too much skill and speed for Froch. Joe easily outpointed the prime Kessler, the man Froch had wars with.

[Rip Chudd]

Calz was the better fighter IMO, but I'd take Froch's career over Joe's any day of the week.
