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

Stylistically, Calzaghe is Froch's worst nightmare.

As much as I would love to see Joe lose his 0 - he ain't the man.

 

I think Joe loses more respect in the States if he fights Froch and loses face in Britain if he fight Dawson.

B-hop again maybe?

 

Actually Frochy handles southpaw's extremely well.

A point someone made was that his low left guard is reversed with a high-right guard when fighting a southpaw which makes sense.

Froch hits hard enough and above all else, he's very very accurate.

He is a very strong guy, who will throw bombs (not slaps) for 12 rounds.

I think Froch stands a very good chance actually.

Hopkins took plenty of rounds with his quality, yet he didn't do nearly enough work.

Froch will fight his lungs out and if Joe is anything less than 100% could get tonked.

 

Yes but Stevie Wonder could see Froch's punches coming.

 

:good

 

Very few believe Froch has a chance outside of his fanbase....and it's been detailed heavily here why that is...

JC Wide UD...I'll be there if this happens in an instant.

 

edit

 

And Froch is no Kessler who gave Calzaghe his best shot and couldn't drop him.

 

The only thing I could see happening that would give Froch a chance is that Calzaghe could drain himself to make weight.

However, I see Calzaghe boxing circles around Froch, winning most if not all rounds. Even if Froch did land, I can't see him seriously hurting Calzaghe. He has shown a great chin when he sees the punches, and Froch's punches are hardly quick or snappy.

 

Kessler has OK power but it's not stunning.

 

I think Froch is perfect for Calzaghe. Joe wins by an easy UD.

 

froch would be a good coice for calzaghe dawson is too much risk

 

JC wins by wide UD. JC was down early in his last two fights but was never really hurt so even if Froch catches him early it wont make a blind bit of difference. JC has way too much ring savvy for Froch.
Froch has looked good against weak opposition and in his biggest test against Pascal he was made to look average skills wise. He was swinging wide shots from bad angles all night and if it hadn't been for his decent chin he could have been ko'd easily.
JC could fight another 10 fights and would not win anything by KO. His hands are just too brittle.

 

And Froch's is at world level?
