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

    No.

    I like both fighters, but Calzaghe decisions him and decisions him easily.

    Froch has nothing to problem him, Calzaghe doesn't have to take him out, so his chin isn't any problem, neither is his power. He won't land, if he does, JC has a great chin.

    I don't think so, no. It'd go the distance though. Froch makes me laugh though "to be honest I think Joe Calzaghe's a little bit thick"

    It would definitely go the distance but Calzaghe by a landslide. Froch's only chance is the ko but I can't see that happening. He doesn't have the skill to out box Calzaghe and Joe wouldn't be stupid enough to stand and trade bombs like Pascal.

    Calzaghe is all wrong for Froch IMO, Froch will no doubt go looking for Joe hoping to score with the big shots but Joe thrives when faced with come forward opponents.

    Wide decision for JC if this fight happened.

    I personally think Froch has the artillery to beat Calzaghe. I think his awkward style and good repetiore of powerful punches could trouble Calzaghe.

    He use his Jab to good effect and if he caught Joe walking onto one of those big right uppercuts or big right hands too many times I think Joe could be in deep trouble.

    I think Froch is near his peak and could certainly give Calzaghe one of his toughest fights yet.

    I dont think anyone eles has a chance of beating Calzaghe apart from Froch @ SMW or Hopkins @ LHW in a rematch.
