    Who's resume is better, not talking about skill set but resume.

    Calzaghe was fighting pretty average fighters for ages

    Frochs best win is againts kessler a shot Kessler, a man Calzaghe beat at his peak in 2007.

    Who else has he beat legit? Pascal whos very good and Abraham and Bute.

    He robbed Dirrell and dont rate the Jermaine Taylor defeat as much as everyone else does to be honest.

    Calzaghe beat Hopkins, Ended Laceys career beat a peak Kessler. He also had very good wins over Sheika, Bryon Mitchell and Woodhall

    Could you really see Groves having any sort of chance beating Calzaghe

    Froch's career legacy highlight is basically ecking out a somewhat lucky 1-1 draw with an old shop worn Kessler who was almost a decade past his best. Needless to say this is the same Kessler that got totally out classed in his prime by Calzaghe.

    Stupid question really.

    The only thing Calzaghe has over Froch is the move up to LHW and (debatably) beating Hopkins, but Froch, in his first title defense, went over to Taylor's backyard and beat the man who beat a better Hopkins (twice) and did it in much better style than Calzaghe did too.

    Calzaghe first title defense was at home against Branko Sobot, enough said.

    For me it's Froch, I'm from the UK and some of Joe's opponents were **** let's be real, the Lacy win was good but he was never a great fighter let alone good, the Kessler win was a great win, B-Hop lost 2 of his 4 going into the Calzaghe bout and he barely beat a 43 year old man, If Joe struggled with a cagey Robin Reid then then just imagine him with a prime B-Hop. I don't blame him for fighting an old Roy Jones for money but the way he avoided the young guys at the time was a joke, also the way he said he was scared of flying despite him going on holiday to the west indie's. Froch win or lose seeks the best and there is a reason why nobody rates Calzaghe's resume outside of the UK. Anybody who believes that Calzage wasn't protected or possibly reluctant to fight the best is deluded. I would even argue that Froch's win over Pascal is better than Calzaghe's over Lacy's, Pascal beat a world class fighter in Dawson, what did Lacy do to prove he was world class?

    Calzaghe was a two weight lineal champ.

    Froch hasn't been the man at any weight yet.

    This ..

    This has been done so many times ... and it always ends the same way.

    Froch would have been completely embarrassed by Calzaghe.

    Brilliant.. Another person who knew joe was gonna beat lacy lol.
    Joe was the underdog in the fight as EVERYONE had him getting koed!
    Joe was a league above froch, do you think carl could head up to lightheavy and beat hopkins?
    Lets be real carl is the modern day warrior who has shown what sheer hard work and determination can get you, but calzaghe was special.
