Does anyone think that Carl Froch could conceivably beat Joe Calzaghe?

I think that Joe would win wide.

 

I have always considered Froch a threat to Calzaghe even before he was WBC World Champion.

He got attitutde and says he would "Smoke Calzaghes Boots"

He has the energy of a murderer

Loves a tear up

Iron chin

and he punches like a mule

Calzaghe is favorite in this fight no doubt

He has the ring skills and speed and experience to win wide on points

Froch's best chance of victory is to hit and hurt and stop Calzaghe

I give Froch a 40% chance of victory and 60% to Calzaghe

I give Froch as good as shot as Keelser had

Calzaghes talk he would beat Froch in 3 rounds is hard to swallow

Froch will give him a competitive fight and is dangerous

 

No, Carl Froch would not even be competitive. No way, no how.

This could conceivably be another Lacy, but maybe Joe hasn't got that performance in him anymore. I'd still expect him to dominate this fight.

 

If Froch lands then it could be lights out for JC. Froch is no Lacy who takes 20 minutes loading up a shot.

 

I reckon it would be competitive, very much so

Joe would take it with his workrate and handspeed but I reckon Froch would take him into deep waters

Froch has far far more to his game than Lacy ever did

I'd love to see this fight

 

I like that one

 

I think TFFP is spot in when he says it would be another Lacy.

If it does happen though, I wish Carl all the best, he has a decent chin and a punchers chance. But I tend to think Froch getting schooled is a LOT more likely than Calzaghe getting his boots smoked

 

Froch's come forward style makes an easy win for Calzaghe. Joe's workrate, speed and stamina will be too much, plus his skills way better.

Froch turned down an offer to fight Joe anyway.

Joe's chin Is granite anyway and Froch couldn't KO Pascal and shown his world level limitations.

 

Calzaghe toys with people that try to kill him - see Kessler rounds 5-11 for evidence...... he fights much better on the retreat than he does having to apply pressure himself.

Watch the Hopkins fight again (if you can put yourself through it!)

 

Think Calzaghe wins this wide on points. The only way Froch wins this is by stoppage but I don't see that happening.

 

Calzaghe has been down in the first round of his last two fights. Hopkins and Jones, for whatever reason, didn't jump on him to finish the job but if Froch had joe in that position he would. Earlyish stoppage is his best hope for victory.

 

Calzaghe easy UD, he would outwork him and I don't even think he has a punchers chance against Calzaghe.

 

Froch would never have Calzaghe in that position. He has 25% of the handspeed of Jones or Hopkins, nevermind the timing to actually land counters.

Froch's hope is to wing in his shots as usual. Work on the theory "If I throw enough I might hit something". Even then I'm not convinced his power is as great as we previously thought.

 

Agree. Big fan of Froch but this would be another level for him, he takes too many shots and his hand speed's too slow to beat Joe. But against any of the other super middles out there has a good chance.

Anyone else heard any rumours on this fight?
