  1. Beating that Graciano Rocchigiani was a very solid win

    what a load of bollocks,the eubank who was beaten of JC would not of beaten taylor,steve collins finished eubanks on there 1st fight,nealy 3 years b4,FFS
    can't beleive the **** some people are saying about froch,25 fights,20ko's,wbc world champ,just been and beaten a v good yank in his own backyard,christ if you all know and watch boxing,that fight was a lot closer than 2 of the score cards would have you beleive.

    do u remember when mosley was getting twated off that chainsmoking morayago and he ko'ed him in the last sec's,most people hailed that as great,but not that little old english fellow froch,the bum:patsch

    What about Cory Spinks? Your not thinking these arguments through pal at all. He didn't lose to Hopkins. He didn't lose to Wright... If we're using this theory then many were of the opinion Calzaghe lost to Reid and Hopkins... You should have said Graciano Rochiggiani....

    Solid yes but on close observation Rocchi record doesn't stand up to well. KOing Michelzewski after the bell didn't count, Nunn was shot to pieces and was Sugar Boy Malinga anythingmore then a plodder with a good jab? Draw with Selliers not bad form and a win over James Cook never hurts but he was very much Top end Euro level IMO. But fair play- good, thought provoking argument.

    Yeah that was a good performance but I think Joppy was perhaps too far gone to be counted. Just my opinion.

    Nice to see Jeff arguing with the Calzaghe fan boys again. Once a week at least and he always wins.

    No.

    Kessler would BATTER Froch. Every round until possibly stopping him late.
    Calzaghe would have beaten Taylor by about 9 rounds to 3.

    You do realise that it says ANY victory.... a lot of people have said NO..... Take a look at Calzaghes CV if you will. 46 fights, 3 opponents with world class form. Froch 25 fights, 1 world class opponent in form...... He's got 21 fights to go......

    If he develops his game a bit, irons out the mistakes from the Froch fight, I think Pascal could possibly turn out to be half decent.

    There seems to be a lot of trash being spoken about Calzaghe's true merits. I had identified Froch as someone who can defeat him a long time ago. People always go for the obvious. Froch has things that will derail Calzaghe. The only thing one is never quite sure of is the intangibles until truly tested which they have in Froch's last 2 fights. I have seen enough to know he can do Calzaghe definitively but Calzaghe will remain in his armchair and not risk it getting his Dad to slag off Froch.
