    Froch by a MILE

    im only basing it on willingness to make big fights and actually make sure they happen rather than the "i would have fought anyone but didnt for whatever reason"

    from Jan 1998 through 2005 (7 years)

    Joes best opponents were

    (and he fought Reid in 2007)

    Joe beat Hopkins...yes....Hopkins was 43 years old , regardless of what he did to k pavlik. Roy was shot beyond belief...i mean he was just ****ed up by danny green in 1 round shortly after :lol:

    Joes best wins his entire career
    1) Kessler
    2) Lacy
    and im not one of the guys who will talk **** about Lacy..i think thats a solid win and alot of people including me picked Lacy to KO joe....

    Froch has already beaten him in that dept and he is still only 27

    as an american I, and many of my friends, think calzaghe was overrated. froch is slowly gaining an excellent resume. froch will fight anyone . he is a douche but who cares he wins. will give it to him.

    well most people know...in 7 years of his WBO reign of terror...im pretty sure he could have found the time to fight someone or at least 2 guys that were worth a ****...but heres 7 years of his prime and your excuse is everyone elses schedule was bookedall this time so he had to fight a guy like mario veit not once but twice? :rofl anyway!

    1998 Branko Sobot 14-1 :D
    1998 Juan Carlos Gimenez Ferreyra :?
    1999 Robin Reid
    1999 Rick Thornberry :nut
    1999 David Starie :roll:
    2000 Omar Sheika :think
    2000 Richie Woodhall
    2001 Mario Veit
    2001 Will McIntyre
    2002 Charles Brewer (lost 2 of last 3 and 8 losses)
    2002 Miguel Angel Jimenez :verysad
    2003 Tocker Pudwill :nono
    2003 Byron Mitchell
    2004 Mger Mkrtchyan :lol:
    2004 Kabary Salem :lol:
    2005 Mario Veit (since everyone so busy, lets fight him 2 times)
    2005 Evans Ashira

    will give Joe these 2 guys as a risk in those 7 years
    1999 Robin Reid
    2003 Byron Mitchell

    after mitchell it took 3 years to fight another guy (Lacy) who was a legit threat

    2006 Jeff Lacy (unification fight, thumbs up)
    2006 Sakio Bika (good solid opponent)
    2007 Pete Manfredo Jr (what a waste of a fight..2 fights per year and wastes on him)
    2007 Mikkel Kessler (unification fight, great match up)
    2008 Jones and Hopkins...43 and 40 year old legendary names

    Joe was a talented and likable guy....Joe had great great skills and could fight...but 90% of his opponents were club fighters at best

    This like the Mayweather logic, who has faced better comp. Froch obviously. But, Joe is the better fighter LOL
