Does Froch now have a better record than Calzaghe?

I think he's more than certainly joined the brigade of SMWs we can look very fondly upon.

I'd love to see a rematch with Kessler.

 

Any person can tell Kessler won against Froch, it was close but clear.
Congrats to froch on KTFOing bute.

 

I thought he had it before this fight.

This puts it beyond dispute.

 

I thought Froch lost to a faded version of a guy Calzaghe beat at his best when he himself was past his own best. :conf

 

Joe was protected for this majority of his career, I really respect Carl, he's extremely personable; he fights nothing but legit competition. I think it's certainly close. I hope that Carl avenges his Kessler loss, he's definitely an improved fighter since that fight, and I'd expect him to do Kessler.

 

No pun intended?

Meh, I'm not really sure, I'd still say they're even. It wasn't a hugely positive win but I thought the Hopkins and Kessler win still stood head and shoulders over anything Froch has done.

If Froch came back to knock out Kessler in the rematch, then I'd probably reconsider. If he beat Ward in a rematch (which I just don't ever see happening), for sure.

 

Je t'aime playing in the background brother?

Gimme a break. It's essentially a question of being; two men in the ring face to face, irrespective of romance! We all know who the better fighter is; we all know who wins.

Who has had to travel more, (due in no small part to initially aligning oneself with an inferior promoter and entering a tournament which necessitated such frequent flyer miles); yes certainly, but we must also accept that Atlantic city and Helsinki are both neutral.

 

Yes, and he should be remembered as the better fighter. Calzaghe most talented but he must pay the price for all the smoke 'n mirrors, ducking and cherrypicking.

Needless to say Froch goes down as a better fighter than Hatton too, that much is clear.

 

Yes he has a much better resume, perhaps h2h calzaghe beats froch but overall froch must be remembered as greater fighter.

 

Froch for me. Only because Calzaghe took the easy option when available, perhaps thats unfair? Perhaps it was his management team. Either way, Froch continues to prove he fights anyone anywhere. Fantastic credit to boxing and this, for me, makes him the better fighter with the better legacy.

 

Calzaghe was badly managed, an under achiever in my book.

Froch has just been stuck in with practically everybody, not many fighters have a 75% win rate at genuine world class.

Carl has fought them all back to back too.

 

Would Froch have had this run of opponents if the super 6 wasn't arranged?

 

If calzaghe was around and he entered the super 6 he would win it, thats says it all really, hes just a better fighter and froch would lose to joe!
