A-list opponents for Calzaghe:
43yr old hopkins(post prime, also most think he only lost the split decision due to racist comments)
Kessler(prime)
semi-retired Eubanks(almost shot)
Roy Jones(shot to ****s)
A-list opponents for Froch:
Dirrell(prime)
Abraham(prime)
Pascal(prime/slightly pre-prime)
Kessler(prime)
Ward(prime)
Bute(prime)
Taylor(post prime)
Froch beat them all except Ward, and even against Ward he had him going in the last 2rounds he finished strong, if it were 15rounder Froch mightve stopped him. Besides Ward wouldve completely raped Calzaghe anyway. Calzaghe retired completely unproven, he cannot be considered an atg because who has he beaten? Hopkins was split decision super close fight that many thought he lost the majority of the first 8rounds, who else has Calzaghe fought that was atleast a one point in their career considered a-class/elite??
