I honestly think Froch would’ve beaten Calzaghe

[EDDIE SPERM]

I’m not even a Froch fan and I think he was a one-dimensional, overrated boxer. But the same can be said about Calzaghe in terms of being overrated. But Calzaghe was a volume puncher while Froch had ring adaptability with a very durable chin.

I just think Froch’s durability and awkwardness would’ve caused Calzaghe a lot of problems and he would punch himself out with Froch sparking him out with a big right like he did to Groves.

Super Joe would've frustrated the Hell out of Cobra you clown. JoshTards don't know 5h1t about boxing !

Joe had speed and stamina, not to mention a good IQ. Froch had skill but his chin carried him. He barely beat Jermaine Taylor. Literally all Taylor had to do was take a knee to win that fight

Speed kills.

Calzaghe was the fittest boxer there was at Super Middleweight not a chance he would punch himself out. So yeah Froch had absolutely no chance of beating him. Would have been similar to Calzaghe vs Lacy Imo.

Would have to go with Joe on this one way too much in his locker compared to Froch who really overchieved with the tools he had

Calzaghe isn’t Floyd. Calzaghe’s style was more similar to Amir Khan’s style in terms of offensive talent with volume and hand speed (Khan has more power) and both were lacking defensively. Khan would’ve been Welterweight’s Calzaghe if he had a chin and heart.

Mayweather was a complete fighter and his ring IQ was out of this world. Both had nothing in common.

Terrible post and exposes your lack of knowledge on the subject. Calzaghe was absolutely nothing like Khan. He was extremely adaptable, could fight well at every range, he was very crafty on the inside, he knew how to land his own shots and make someone miss in the pocket. Khan was only an outside fighter, he was vulnerable at mid and close range because he had no defence and a lack of instincts and technique at those ranges. The only thing I give Khan over Calzaghe was that he was a more crisp puncher at range.

Calzaghe would beat Froch, but it wouldnt be easy. It would be a clear decision but Calzaghe would know he'd been in a fight, Froch may even hurt him a few times, in fact I wouldnt be surprised if they hurt each other. Calzaghe could punch harder than advertised when he sat down on shots. Overall Calzaghe is a bit too busy, quick, and adaptable for Froch who would be limited by his talent like he was against Ward.

Froch can close the talent gap with most fighters and come out ahead due to his durability and sheer determination. He also had good power and incredible stamina...his problem is when he comes up against all round great fighters he will fall short on talent. He would have been a better fighter in the 15 round days. In his era, him Pacquaio, Floyd are 15 round fighters.

His problem was that Joe was also a 15 round fighter.
