Greatest overall: Froch or Calzaghe

I'd say JC, because he went undefeated, and arguably beat better opposition to win his belt in the first place,

if I was to pick who id pay to see fight though I'd chose froch everyday.

 

Froch accomplished more than JC and has had the greater career.
Not saying Froch has more talent no, just a greater set of *****.

 

Clazaghe never wanted no part of any rematches. I have to go with Froch. More of a legend in my book.

 

Joe was the better fighter but Froch was willing to fight the best.

 

if calzaghe had fought frochs resume, then people who say currently froch, would now say calzaghe.


if froch had fought calzaghes resume, they would think much less of him and go with calzaghe.

 

aha Veit, king of 4-6 rounders who somehow got a world title shot. and then another title shot against the same person and same title and same boxing body.

 

Calzaghe. He was the better of the two and I don't think Froch's resume is really much better tbh.

 

That's like saying Carl has fights with Stevenson and Kovalev there. I don't think it's fair to expect Joe to go up to 175 but not Froch. They both fought the best guys in their division.

 

you expect joe to go to LHW and fight 2 fortysomethings first,, we understand.

that's not going to happen, thugh he might fight someone prime.

"I'd like to fight Calzaghe, probably next year after a couple of fights for the British title," said Froch.

"That would be an outrageous win because Calzaghe's a good fighter, a very strong fighter, he's been around a few years, and I just feel I've got exactly what you need to beat him." - Carl Froch at 13-0

"Then when Ashira walked out I almost choked on my cocoa. I had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't Baby Jake Matlala.

"I have come to expect Joe to pick on easy targets,"

I believe Calzaghe knows that isn't that hard a job.

"Why doesn't Joe get bold and call me out? Like I said before, perhaps he knows what I do: that I will smoke his boots, I will end his career.

"Because he's not making as much money and not getting on T.V I think he's bitter against the whole world. He's like a spoilt little bloody *****. I don't mind saying that, either, that's okay, keep that in there, he'll like that one." - Joe Calzaghe
