    Clazaghe would school Carl, and I'm a big Froch fan. Joe couldnt be more wrong for him.

    I like Froch and I'm not a fan of Calzaghe at all, but Froch is the perfect type of opponent for Calzaghe, imo. I wouldn't advise a rematch with Taylor either.

    Still you never know... I very much doubt Joe will come out of retirement though

    He might if Froch knocks out Taylor in the rematch, or Kessler or Bute. The fans like knockout artists, but to be realist, chances of that happening are small.

    Calzaghe in a shutout with Froch landing maybe 50 clean punches throughout the fight

    Calzaghe would probably overwhelm him badly. Cause if he had problems with Taylor and Pascal's speed then he's in for a long night against JC.

    it would be a terrific tear up, thats for sure, two fighters with monster chins, and no defensive technique

    I agree, and in this case, unlike Taylor, the later rds would fAVOR jOE, NOT CARL...the workrate would baffle him

    Are you ******ed? Calzaghe has way better D than froch. You can't have an aggressive style like joe's and borenard hopkins "D"!!
    Idiot!

    joe gets caught flush a lot and is saved by his chin... still I's say his defence is better than Froch's

    I'm the biggest Calzaghe hater on ESB, and I was hoping never to see him again. However, as of right now, I have NEVER wanted to see a fighter make a come back as bad as I want to see Joe shut that fraud up.

    Froch looked like absolute **** tonight. Taylor would have had to practice up in order to miss him. At the end Froch got lucky. Now I would take great delight in seeing Joe come back and show Froch that luck and a decent chin will NEVER be enough to compete with the elite.

    This would be a worldclass mismatch.

    Frochs face would be ***** slapped for 12 straight rounds if he even makes it. The ref might stop it on pity for Froch. This would be a 12-0 victory for JC.

    This would be a mismatch of epic proportions. Calzaghe would beat the ever loving **** out of Froch.

    Froch needs to let that **** go and prove himself a worthy champion rather than hanging off Calzaghe's shirt tails, or he'll end up like another Junior Witter.
