    well firstly i scored the fight 115-112. froch did battle like a true warrior. however calzaghe eased past kessler. there were people on here saying kesslers loss to ward takes something away from his legacy so now its time to pay him some back.

    Calzaghe would easily beat froch IMO

    A prime Joe, which is before he fought Kessler. Is it even debatable who would win?

    Not really no.

    Though have always thought Calzaghe would beat him.

    The only two that could live with calzaghe are ward and dirrell.

    I only give dirrell a very good chance of beating calzaghe I think calzaghe is all wrong for ward.

    Dirrell, would not stand a chance against Joe. I don't know what fight he has fought makes you think he stands a chance.

    This proves nothing about whether Clazaghe would beat Froch as styles make fights. However saying that, we didn't need this fight to know that Calzaghe would beat Froch by wide UD.

    I didn't need this fight to know what Calzaghe would have done to Froch.

    Prime Calzaghe would beat Dirrel on points and Ko Ward.

    I think at SMW Bute would have the best chances to beat a prime Calzaghe

    I am a hard core Calzaghe hater, and that is well documented, but even I know Joe would slap Froch silly. Remember how baffled Froch looked in the first few rounds of the Taylor fight? Remember how slow and clumsy he looked against Dirrell. Add those memories together, and multiply by 3.

    Him being on the bike I agree with, and that's why he would lose. That's why Joe, beat so many of his opponents, his hands were fast as hell, and he threw 90 punches in a round.

    I dont know anybody, short of a delusional Froch groupie, who ever thought Froch could win in the first place.

    No because fighter A beating fighter B doesn't mean that fighter C beats fighter B.

    Styles make fights, everyone knows this.
