Calzaghe goes through Froch's 8 fight streak undefeated - Yay or Nay?

difficult to say, it's one thing saying would Calzaghe beat all of these guys individually, but putting it in the context of Calzaghe being in the same era of these guys and fighting them one after the other is another challenge altogether.

I would favour Calzaghe over every one of these men individually and in any form of hypothetical match up, but in all likelihood, fighting quality fighters one after the other can result in you incurring a loss.

So my answer is no, although Calzaghe beats any one of these guys prime for prime if it happened tonight.

 

Ward is the only one I would have a slight reservation about. He beats all the rest including Froch himself.

 

I think Ward would beat him. Close though.

He'd have beaten the others though.

 

ward would have beaten him.

 

Agree with this.

 

yeah, calzaghe would beat froch wider than tulisa's mouth was on that bbc

no manilow

 

Beats all, Froch included, with the exception of Ward who I think would have given him serious trouble.

 

Ward is the only one I'd have doubts over. Think that would have been a close fight either way.

 

Yes, i believe so.

 

thank god iv just re-read the title. i thought it was about cleverly.

il be picking my lunch of this screen for the next 10 mins fs

 

Although favouring Calzaghe to win those fights on an individual basis, he never had the natural confidence that Froch has as a person and its difficult to imagine him coping with the travels Froch has gone through. Ward is the big question mark. He looks to be the one potentially truly great fighter in that list but has issues with stamina, as seen in the last few rounds of the Froch fight after dominating. Thats why he is risking messing around with Conte. If it wasn't for that it would be a pick em fight, but fancy he'd be gassing come the championship rounds in a fight he wouldn't be able to control the pace of or gain a stoppage.

 

THIS-


Beating top fighters time and time again is hard, at one point or another your gonna lose. When he fought Kessler, Hopkins, Jones nr...despite one being shot and one being past his best he still struggled, was down in two fights, only won on points on each of those occasions. It could easily be argued that despite winning he started to look very ordinary, of course you will get fanboys saying his hands went etc, but the fact remains, he was a good fighter in one of the weakest eras in one of the weakest divisions of all time. Never fought some of the key fighters around 160-168-175 when it mattered.


He showed he was a good fighter by beating Lacy, Kessler getting the nod over Hopkins...but again he could easily have a few defeats if he had met some fighters earlier.

 

He'd lose eventually.

Ward is the biggest threat to him. We'll look back on Andre as a true great of our/his time.

Like it's been mentioned already... Great fighter, but in a VERY weak division.

 

He'd beat them all I reckon.... Ward included ... But froch has done amazing. Roy jones would have stopped most of them early in his prime
