    Calzaghe overwhelms him with his speed and output. He would be able to take Froch's best shots, he would be able to box him, and trade with him...Froch would have no answer.

    Froch is producing a quality resume at the minute though...he wins the Super 6, and then rematches Pascal...

    Like this I'm not sure Ward fancies Froch at all!

    If he beats Glen which I think he will ward won't like it

    Froch is awkward, be interesting to see how Ward goes about it. I think he'll get by Johnson, but he will have to dig deep in that bout I believe...after his performance against Green, Johnson is going to be there for the 12 rounds buzzing around Froch.

    Calzaghe vs Froch before the time Calz retired, Calzaghe would have schooled Froch from pillar to post! But with that experience Froch has got today, he could have given Calz a hel of a fight, but i would still favor Calzaghe to win by decision

    Carl will be in the final... He needs to go to war with Ward though or it could be a bit embarrassing

    Froch has built his rep up but not in the same class

    True, but Calzaghe is not war shy I think, he won't run and will engage him, ducking, slipping, landing, eating a few (cringing showboating)...

    Calzaghe is too fast for Froch, as much as I like the cobra since Pascal fight!!

    You can't knock the guy though he ducks nobody! Can't wait for the semi final it could be a classic!

    He showed his amateur pedigree a bit against Abraham but I agree Joe is a class above
