    If it's about respect for the attitude of taking real challenges, away from home, against stacked odds: on the evidence so far I'd have to say Froch.

    Has Froch ever won world title fights with a broken hand ?

    Is this a joke? Calzaghe of course. The guy's pfp (or was, anyway, before retirement) and maybe atg. Froch just beat up an exhausted, beyond his prime MW. Be serious.

    I may not like what Froch says but I believe he believes what he says. I can't say the same for Calzaghe.

    Froch. I don't mind Joe but he comes across as twice the ***** Froch does. I don't respect bitchness. So this one's pretty easy. Interms of boxing ability and greatness....Calzaghe whoops his ass easy. You definitely can't denie he's an ATG and had some seriously impressive skills.

    At this point probably Froch but it should be Calzaghe.

    I don't think i could have a protected fighter such as Calzaghe as an ATG.
    To me the only win's that matter on Calzaghes resume is Kessler and Hopkins.
    He does have the longevity and undefeated record going for him but he stayed undefeated by avoiding any serious challenge for years and fought in a comfort zone. Calzaghe was a fraud who shat himself when he realised towards the end of his career he didn't have any defining wins. That's probably the only reason he fought Kessler and Hopkins!

    At this point . . . JC for me.

    Froch has just started building his name.

    I respect Froch as far as saying **** it and comin over to the U.S to take on Taylor unlike Calzaghe who waited until Hopkins and Jones became old before he decided to fly over here. Calzaghe should have been over here at least 7 or 8 years ago.. But Calzaghe is by far the better fighter..

    If I had to choose 1, it would have to be Calzaghe_ 20 straight title defenses, undefeated for umpteen years, undisputed super middleweight champion and light heavyweight champion.

    Froch got lucky with Taylor and Pascal isn't world class !! _ neither is Froch
