    Are you Degale fan? Because if you don't know him personally I can't imagine why you would be. The guy comes across like a total ***** and isn't nearly as good as he thinks he is. That's something him and Georgie boy have in common.

    Both are world class operators, Groves was just bit of a tit int he aftermath of getting bingoed by Froch. Nothing wrong with that Froch was a P4P top ten fighter who beat everyone of note bar Ward.

    In fact I am adamant Froch would of beaten Calzaghe had they met in 2008, and I think Joe knows that hence why he boxed a shot to **** Roy Jones after he got lucky against Hopkins.

    I didn't say either were poor. I said that both think they're better than they are.

    And Froch would never have beaten Calzaghe. Joe's powers of recovery wouldn't have allowed him to. His workrate and speed would have overwhelmed Carl. He's pretty much admitted it himself. If Taylor could come that close to beating Froch than you can bet your bottom dollar that Calzaghe would have gone one better and got the nod.

    Calzaghe was getting put on his by lighter punchers then Carl, and Calzaghe is not as fit as Froch and could of been outworked for the twelve rounds.

    It would of been close but I reckon Froch would of dropped him at some point winning a 10-8 round and getting the decision.

    And he recovered easily each time. Froch wasn't a devastating puncher just a fair one and regardless of your thoughts on who would win saying Froch is fitter than Calzaghe is utterly ridiculous. You're the only person I've ever heard say that. Even Calzaghe's biggest detractors rate his engine as legendary.

    Carl has admitted he couldn't win a decision against Joe and said his only chance would be to score a KO.

    Froch was would of probably been the biggest puncher Joe had faced.

    Froch would have been too slow to really make it difficult for Joe.. So many times he threw wide, wild hayemaker shots...Look how many times he missed when GG is hurt in the first fight.
    As for Joe not being as fit as Froch?? Id have it the other way around nobody thew as many punches/slaps/offense like Joe did and when did he ever take a break in the ring. Never.

    Big fan of both fighters but Joe's footwork was a million miles better than Carls. 'zaggers was also very strong he was much bigger guy coming down to Super Middle but he handled it well all his career. He was able to out strength Kessler and Lacy at times.

    Joe beat Kessler clearly - Froch lost one closely then won the rematch with Kessler past his best.

    I think Kessler is a slight better puncher than Carl but not much in itbut at SM his chin was granite. Kessler was never able to seriously hurt him with straight 'good' punches I'm not sure Froch would either

    Quigg destroyed Martinez whilst Frampton went the distance with him and we all saw what happend when them two got in the ring.

    I just believe if they had boxed in 2008, Carl would of won the fight. Joe was 36 on the slide and getting dropped by a shot to **** Roy Jones.

    Carl was beating Jean Pascal in a high paced 12 rounds.
