    OK so do you hate on Kovalev for fighting a 50 something for a world title and avoiding his mandatory at the time in Robin Krasniqi? :lol::lol:

    How can a guy several moths off being 40 be a 40 something?

    Not just plain old 40, but a 40 something

    Maybe it's you who needs to go back to Maths class.

    Stop ducking this question: how long before your 40th birthday do you turn 40 something?

    Kessler at his peak was better than Froch. Let alone Calzaghe.

    Froch walls him onto a right uppercut from his calves, stops him

    as critical as i am of calzaghe's career, he was a very good fighter, and would UD froch 10 times out of 10.

    I like froch way more than calzaghe but I think calzaghe wins this fairly comfortably - he's too versatile. Froch has the grit to stay a threat, but calzaghe outboxes him imho

    In which parallel universe would Froch do better than Ward against Calzaghe. We have seen Ward deal with every conceivable style and triumph. I can see Ward beating Calzaghe but I cannot envisage Froch beating Calzaghe. We call Joe Super Joe for a reason.

    Calzaghe. He is smarter than Froch. And he is a real natural brawler with good fundemental. Strong build, balanced and really agile.
