If Froch wins the Super Six series... does his legacy surpass Calzaghes?

Nah, not really.

 

Errrrrr. The guy who is favourite to who the tourne is Kessler. A fighter joe beat.
And its going to take a miracle for him not to win. And even if Froch does somehow win. It is not enough to surpass Calzaghe. Seeing as Joe would slap the **** out of any of the fighters in the comp.
Why dont you just go to wales and give him one and get it over with.
You know you want too. We are not fooled by this fake hate.

 

Joe beat Kessler because he fought with a broken hand.

(broken hands are somewhat of a hindrance in boxing)

When Froch beats a fully fit Kessler in his hometown of Copenhagen, this thread is game,set and match.

 

If Carl manages to come in the top 3 of this tournament, I'd see that as a success.

 

He aint gunna win it, i cant even see him getn into the semis he has Kessler, Dirrell and AA both Kessler and AA wil KO him cos of his low defense and Dirrell will oubox him to a UD

 

And Calzaghe never beat anyone with dodgy hands did he.

 

good call sir.

 

Calzaghe will still be the best.

 

I believe a semi-shot RJJ @ 175 is a tougher fight than an under the weather blown up middleweight. But that's with hindsight. The eventual match-ups shows the difference between Hopkins, Pavlik + Calzaghe. Calzaghe was a shithouse hypochondriac, until the 1st bell rang, then he was a warrior.

 

Just one question -

Who's that in your avvy?

 

What an interesting assessment of JC 'the man' and JC 'the fighter':good.

 

Therein lies the debate. head to head it ain't even close. Froch doesn't win a round. Career and record wise though Froch will finish his career ahead IMHO. Calzaghe never laid everything on the line. Froch did in his very first defence.

 

If he won every fight, then yes. It would mean he had beaten Calzaghes best win or at least equal best win, plus two very dangerous young fighters and already with wins over Pascal and Taylor.

 

Absolutely agree.

That one handed display against the monster that was Evans Ashira was truly the stuff of legend status.

The way he handled that 5'7 light middleweight with a bruised knuckle was incredible.

Especially when you compare Joe's 12 round point's win, over Carl Froch's KO of seasoned southpaw Brian Magee.

You know the one, where Froch snapped his thumb in round two yet went on to knock out the Irishman for the first time in his career ?

That was not a patch on the seat-of-your pants Ashira effort by Joe .......

Or Froch's ruptured extensor hood he sustained in the opening rounds of his Henry Porras ko win ....

Which then had a knock-on effect on his win over slippery Matthew Barney (who'd just been screwed out of the EBU 175lb title) for which he postponed a hand op and took injection to keep the show going.

Then we have Joe who.. well there aint enough text to type his pull-outs with back, flu, hand, wrist excuses... "No Show Joe".
