    I am.

    Froch is a level or two below the greatest 168 of all time.

    Joe was 36, froch prime, that pretty much says the outcome was in frochs favour, even when you set aside that, in hindsight, he was Joes best opponent to date and it was smart for him to duck him. Joe never wanted tough fights and losses.

    If Jones, who fought Joe in the same week that Joe ducked his froch defence, can floor Joe, then I would dread to think what Froch would have done, had Joe not ducked that defence.

    no, we are talking about joe's first mando of the titles he took from kessler, it was the reverse of what you claim, a 100% certainty.

    Calzaghe

    Calzaghe no doubt but there is more to this as many fans seem to get very insecure when Calzaghe is mentioned and seem to have a problem with him being the most accomplished SMW ever.
    I'm sure some insecure fans will say Froch with an agenda

    Why do you say that he might have to pick himself up off the floor.
    Froch has been down as many times as Calzaghe in SMW title fights with less world title fights at the weight which percentage wise would be higher at SMW

    Joe would have slapped the turkey nose off Froch. Be no match whatsoever, a one sided beat down til Frochs face was like a baboons arse. But Froch would have went the distance no doubt

    Got to go with calslappy on this one no doubt about it.

    He would really embarrass the adder over twelve one sided rounds, probably a late corner pull out also.

    Even if you take Calzaghe at the end of his career, he was beating Kessler and a faded Kessler coming off a loss beat Froch
    Not that that is a be all and end all but gives a bit of a form line

    yes the dates serve me exactly as well as they do you, our conclusions are just different. My conclusion serves the question, yours doesnt.

    The question is if they had fought...which was joes mando with carl that joe ducked by moving up for shot jones.

    Calzaghe 118-110 type decision. Horrible style for Froch, he was smart to avoid that fight.

    Nobody is doubting that Joe was a level above. But he would never have beaten Carl by that huge margin. It's a gross exaggeration on your part. It's completely unrealistic. Just think back to some of Joe's fights throughout his career.
