      Froch had the better, more substantive career.

      That's all that matters. He can let it go.

        Damn right slick as Jones and a pretty good défense like Bernard
        Not à one punch knockout artist but still had over thirty ko's
        Broke them down and many opponents refused to fight him

          I really dig both guys. I believe calzaghe woulda won a fun fight. Certainly wouldnt have been 'easy' though imo

            Calzaghe's too slick and too tough for Froch

            Froch's style and career was better to watch though. The last minute JT knockout, demolishing Bute as the underdog. Making Groves eat his words. Froch did things the right way.

              Calzaghe's reign looks a bit like that of Wladimir Klitschko, except he remained undefeated. He beat a lot of second and third-rate contenders and built his glory upon that. The Hopkins win is questionable, and Roy Jones was already shot (and still managed to knock Joe down hard). Both would have eaten him alive had they fought earlier.

                I think it would of been a great fight. I'd pick Joe on points, but i'm not sure he has it all his own way.

                  Bet Daddy Hearn told Froch what to say. Foster still spending that offshore money.

                      i think you mean he refused to figth many opponents. you got it backwards. remember he was scared of flying??? remember he ducked glen johnson multiple times and had to pay him when he pulled out of the fight. remember when he said he would only fight jones for the crown ***els cause jones was so good? remember when he turned down a fight with unified champ sven ottke? remember when he agreed to fight hopkins in the usa then turned around and demanded the fight be in wales so hopkins asked for more money to fight there and they turned him down? remember when he turned down a pavlik fight? remember when he ignored guys like tarver and dawson? remember his resume full of bums? who avoided him?????
