calzaghe 120-108 type UD. Too quick, too much chin, too much stamina throws way too many punches for Froch to deal with.
Prime Calzaghe beats Froch, The Calzaghe that fought Jones and Hopkins would have trouble with Froch due to his aggression and engine. I believe by this time Joe was starting to show signs of wear and tear and i think he smartly got out and seeing as he never came back i think he knew had enough. I'd take him to still beat Froch but he could well be hurt at some point.. Joe beats him in prime although Joe had tendencies to get dragged into hard fights as Slip rightly said in technical thread. I mean there's been lesser fighters then Froch who gave Joe issues. I still massively favor Joe to win even if it got messy. Joe was a great fighter cos he could adapt. Carl sadly is a good fighter but not a great one...
This is the first time I have ever seen a thread like this I have always wanted to make one about these to fine men but alas I didn't..... :-( Calzaghe shut out.
Calzaghe by clear decision. Froch will have his moments early and late, but would largely be dominated in a fun fight. Calzaghe's feet were just too good and Froch doesn't have the power to keep Calzaghe off him and prevent a mugging on the inside.
Calzaghe by wide UD. Froch's own stamina and fighting pride makes it an interesting scrap but calzaghe out maneurves, out speeds and out works him down the stretch.
Calzaghe would take this by clear decision, but not a jeff lacy beat down that people have said in the past, Froch can be awkward and he would have the odd moment of success due to calzaghe losing his rag as he would from time to time.
