    not sure if Zaghes had excellent skills, he was always found lacking when facing a very decent skilled opponent and had to reply on his chin or them being old or injured to get by.

    well I feel calzaghe would have taken younger froch without a doubt, but when he was 37 he'd been around the hills too much and was losing fitness, getting floored by old people. Peak Froch would be way too much, and might not stop Joe but certainly turn him black and blue.

    we'll have to disagree on that one :good
    always been a fan of calzaghe's ability, just a critic of his career path

    he learnt a lot about making money for minimal risk from frank 'watch my fighters build their '0' fighting nobodies' war+en

    Prime for Prime Calzaghe would have schooled Froch, terrible stylistic match up for Carl
