Is Carl Froch the second greatest British fighter of all time right behind Lewis?

Yes Froch is at number 2

Lewis is #1

Joe who?

 

Technically you could argue Joe had the chance to face Froch but ducked him into retirement. Unlike Froch who faces his own young undefeated challenger.

 

Dont forget Jermaine Taylor, Kelly Pavlik, Chad Dawson, guys Calzaghe realistically could have fought around that period.

 

No they aren't. Or otherwise, everyone in this forum is British, you included. :deal

 

I think his fight with Kessler was him taking on the best up and comer of the time. Kessler was a dominant, undefeated, proven boxer puncher with KO power.

Froch (at the time) was unproven. He seemed less dangerous, lesser known and would have offered him less money than even a rematch with Kessler. It would not have made sense at the time.

 

Dawson maybe. He had good performances and would have seemed the bravest option.

The idea of having to go against the middleweights seems a little bit of a stretch and I think everyone would have favored Calzaghe and derided him for taking the easier options.

 

Pigs ****ing arse!!!!

I'm Australian of white British heritage & i want nothing to do with your ****, third world dump, i'm disowning you, my blood, lineage & heritage has evolved & i feel nothing for any Britishnes nor have i ever

lastly

Get ****ed you racist **** :happy:yep

 

you are an idiot. both guys spit upon your dumb arse.

 

lennox started americans aversion to boxing.

 

If Pavlik moved up to LH to face Bhop, im sure he would have had no problem moving to SMW to fight Calzaghe.

JT did fight Froch at SMW, i'm sure he was more than capable of moving up to face Calzaghe.

 

I would say it was more the aging of the golden guys like Holyfield and Tyson, and the lack of American talent to replace them.

You can't blame Lennox for that.
