He only had six fights at heavy before his career was over. Four of them were Barrett (fair enough warm up at the weight), Valuev (a world...
He definitely dared to be great. Moved up to heavy, won a world title (weak opponent but still) in his second fight at the weight. Ruiz was his...
Joe would have beaten Froch I reckon around four times out of five. The idea it’s a 99% Calzaghe fight doesn’t quite do Froch the respect he...
