Massively overrated by us brits stayed in his comfort zone since a win over past prime eubank Sr and didn't test himself until mid 30's and feasted on another two past prime legends in Hopkins and Jones Jr. Calzaghe had a great engine and good attributes but not the confidence to test himself and therefore stagnated at a just below world level throughout his career and in my opinion froch would have beat him hence the fight never materialising. I hold froch in higher esteem. Based on merit and willingness to fight everyone on or off home soil

People like him, I get that and I liked watching him, but he certainly isn't one to mention when you think of "best British boxers".
Calzaghe was great.

One of the best fighters ever, regardless of nationality and this coming from a guy who was never a fan of his.

Originally posted by TheUntouchable View PostWhat da fack, Froch doesn't even look like a boxer compared to Calzaghe. Some of his uppercuts were well timed, yes but Froch really wasn't a technical boxer. He lived off his physical and mental strength, size, power and chin.
