    I can remember froch calling out calzaghe in 2007 after he beat a shot to **** robin reid, meanwhile calzaghe was busy boxing the ears off a prime Mikkel Kessler

    Let’s be honest froch would’ve had his ears boxed off for 12 rounds! He wouldn’t be able to deal with joes handspeed and punch output

    Calzaghe by wide ud

    Why did JC go on to face B-hop in April '08 whilst Froch fought Rybacki in May '08?

    If they met when they could of met Joe would of schooled Froch big time. If Jermain Taylor can run rings around him im sure Joe could. I think Froch watched Calzaghe vs Ried a few too many times thinking that was Joe at his best.

    Froch learned a hell of alot in that Super 6 and came out of it a much better fighter but him and Joe are on different levels.

    ah, i see, you are repeating what I just said to you, now childish, are we back in the playground now where you when you have no reply you just repeat what I said in a funny voice?

    shame on you for being a grown man trying that on.

    So are you claiming Rybacki is a better opponent that p4p top 3 Hopkins?

    Is that what you are saying?

    Seriously your hatred is reaching new bounds.

    If Joe went to America to fight Jones and B-Hop, he'll go to Oakland and win a Dec from Ward.

    based on ward calling joe out and joe running a million miles, ok.


    same he did with froch. and a post surgery kessler.

    and dawson.

    and pavlik.

    theres a pattern there, good luck.

    Agreed. Froch was far more honest and pure with his career. No smoke and mirrors coming from. He extracted all he could from his relatively untalented toolbox. He left nothing to chance or imagination. One of my favorite fighters.

    Calzaghe was far more talented, but we never found out how great he was. Or even if he was great. Because he never tested himself and took a hard long honest test in the ring. One fight over a prime Kessler isn't enough to fully take advantage of his ability.
