    Hey sp550i :hi:

    Long time no see... I always wanted to ask you; how did you score Haye vs Harrison round1?

    right now Calzaghe. Froch is building up an impressive resume.

    Kessler is the best name on either resume, but as a whole Froch has the better names under his belt

    Best 5 wins:

    Froch: Pascal, Dirrell, Johnson, Abraham, Taylor

    Calzaghe: Kessler, Hopkins, Eubank, Reid, Bika

    For now I have to say Calzaghe's resume is just slightly better. But Froch's will be better by the time he retires. Calzaghe has a lot of padding on his record.

    Froch's next-best win is over a shot Robin Reid. Calzaghe's is Jeff Lacy. There's not much after that.

    Froch by far. He fought names when they mattered. Joe on the other hand was just an opportunist who had no intention of coming out of his comfort zone.

    Froch.

    Calzaghe's the better fighter, though.

    Froch has a great resume, Calzaghe has a terrible one.

    Hype versus substance.

    Froch! :yep

    But Calzaghe's depth is greater. You can't just dismiss it.

    Charles Brewer
    Byron Mitchell
    Richie Woodhall
    Omar Sheika
    Mario Veit

    These are far better than what's left on Froch's resume.

    Kessler beat Froch

    Hopkins has beaten Pascal and Johnson.

    Omar Sheika beat Johnson

    Jeff Lacy beat a better version of Robin Reid than Froch

    Calzaghe is still way ahead of Froch. People are blinded by what Froch is doing now.

    The Super Six has created names. AA was never a top-six super-middleweight. There were far more deserving participants of the Super Six than AA, Dirrell, Green and even Johnson.

    How about if Froch beats Ward?

    If Froch beats Ward, his resume becomes better than Calzaghe's, imo. No doubt. But even if he loses to Ward and beats Bute, his resume will be better than Calzaghe's.
