    Froch is only saying this because after his nose job he can still make weight for a scrap with Calzaghe.

      Parrot nose Froch, couldn't carry Joe's gym bag. You got schooled by Kessler, and played with by Ward. How many hall of famers have you fought Carl? Let's see Glenn Johnson, Lucian Bute, Yusuf Mack, George Groves.. Not exactly Duran, Hagler, Leonard and Hearns.. Do us a favor and just STFU....

        I am fully aware of the triangular theory.
        In this specific argument, Calzaghe retired undefeated and unified the 168 division. Frisch got beat a couple of times and did not unify the division.
        So what now? Is his career better than Calzaghe or do we draw conclusions and say he would have beaten Calzaghe? I highly doubt that based on the facts at hand

          Calzaghe was underated. Was a car with not a lot of miles on it at the end hopkins I thought edged it but Calzaghe won with his output Was very close..prime RJJ washes them both prime GLen Johnson and tarver would’ve beat him Calzaghe is basically the Felix sturm of that weight

            Froch has a better resume than Joe, and I think Andre Ward would've beaten Calzaghe as well.

            However I think Joe would've beaten Carl h2h.

              Loved to see Jones vs Calazaghe earlier but no way he'd have taken that fight having ducked Eubankm Collins etc etc who Calazaghe beat.

              Jones might have been able to beat Calazaghe in his prime (we'll never know) but Tarver and Johnson nah and to be fair stay at home Joe didn't chase him (Frank Warren) earlier but Roy ducked a lot at SMW. Calazaghe was tike Tyson Fury everyone thinks you just had to out punch him till you realized you couldn't hit him and he hit you 10 times before you got a shot away.

                Trump won't like you stripping that title from him. He still has dumbest political leader in history to fall back on though.

                    Don't worry too much. JC beat Hopkins but bh is greater. Going back to subject of unbeaten records don't mean.much even if you have h2 h win.
                    Even bh with his 10 losses and h2h loss he's greater

                      He’s not wrong. Calzaghe’s record is abysmal. Especially compared to Froch’s.
