    You seriously can make a case look at his resume speaks for himself

    Pascal (undefeated)
    Groves X2
    Kessler
    Abraham
    Johnson
    Bute (undefeated)
    Dirrell (undefeated)
    Taylor
    Reid


    • Never been stopped despite being easy to hit
    • He lost to Ward who is 2nd p4p (after Floyd Mayweather) and Kessler
    • He fought Kessler (first fight) Abraham Taylor & Ward away from the U.K
    • 3x World Champion

    No worries :good

    Read up on him at some point if you get the chance. Hell of a career back in the sport's early days.

    Calzaghe is far from great so i don't know why he is mentioned

    Froch is even lower

    Eubank and Benn are overrated but better than both of those bums in the prime of their careers

    Let's be real here. Froch's resume and heart ****'S all over slappy's.

    No doubt he should rate above him p4p.

    But in a fight, I think that slappy's hilarious and awkward style will beat Froch by a boring decision.

    No. He lost by UD the two times he tried to beat the top fighters of his division and he has never been the undisputed King of his division. Britain has had better and more accomplished fighters throughout its history than Carl Froch. If nothing else Froch cannot hold a candle to Bob Fitzsimmons, Ted "Kid" Lewis or Jimmy Wilde.

    Lewis? Calzaghe shits all over the glass jawed ducker.

    The first spot is easily held by Slappy Joe, the second is a tough call. Maybe it's Froch, maybe it's the Jamaican-Canadian.

    Not if you're looking at best wins and including defeats it doesn't.

    if lewis is a ducker after crushing prime Vitali and making prime Bowe duck him then what does that make the guy who waited for Jones and Eubank to get washed up and Hopkins to be over 40 (and still lose to him)

    Calzaghe beat hopkins when he was much better

    Bhop at 50 is still to good for Carl
    he would rough him up badly

    Carl wouldn't deal with ward on the inside

    What's he going to do with the dirtiest inside fighter of all time
