    Calzaghe smashed 3 legends in Eubank, Jones and Hopkins, 3 of the ATG from their divisions.

    Froch would have on hell of a resume, but he will never be Calzaghe.

    Of course

    Beating great fighters in their prime > beating legends past their prime

    All three of those fighter where past there prime. The only wins that matter in his career are Jeff Lacey and Mikkel Kessler and Hopkins(still P4P player)

    In other words close but not yet I think he would have to defend his title a couple of times after winning this Tourney.

    Eubank was a great fighter, and always in shape, Calzaghe was green.

    Hopkins was prime, look how he decimated Pavlik a top 10 p4p, Hop himself was p4p 3.

    RJJ was slightly past his best, but still had all his speed and reflexes, we have to remember, Joe himself was no spring chicken and lost his KO power due to brittle hands, he beat Hop and RJJ on boxing skill alone.

    Guys, don't waste your time arguing with Anglosexon. He's mentally challenged.

    For me Froch would surpass Calzaghe if he won this tourney without a loss.

    Easily.

    I think that's what's probably motivating Froch the most.

    hed be close....


    And i cant even believe people are now using RJJ as some sort of ammunition when talking about JC's resume.... dear god, now i know why JC fought him. Let enough time go by and it doesnt matter how past it the guy is i guess.

    Maybe the winner of the super 6 can go after RJJ too, seeing as how it somehow enhances ones legacy that much obviously.

    The Hopkins win was a good win.... as was the Kessler win and a few other very good wins.

    But if Froch comes out of the super six beating Kessler, Taylor, AA, and Ward.... he will be right up there with JC imo.

    ^ This. If Froch went on to beat Bute then Pascal again IMO he would have clinched it.

    Hopkins not prime but still a tough challenge for anyone. Can't ignore what he did to Pavlik.
