    Yes of course I do, but the funny thing is you haven't got a ****ing clue.

    And what makes it funnier again is that you think you do :lol:

    I don't think there's that much danger of Froch's resume ever surpassing Calzaghe's. At present, they have the following in terms of world class fighters (i.e. probably top ten in the world at the time they fought them):

    Calzaghe:

    Eubank
    Reid
    Sheika
    Woodhall
    Brewer
    Mitchell
    Lacy
    Bika
    Kessler
    Hopkins
    Jones

    Froch:

    Pascal
    Taylor

    I'm being generous to both guys and including debatable fighters like Pascal and Sheika. I can't honestly see where Froch, with his style and at his age, is going to beat ten more top ten ranked opponents. And I certainly don't see him beating Kessler. He has a shot against Bute, Andrade is 50/50 and I'd favour him in a Taylor rematch. Most others he probably beats atm, not sure about other unproven prospects like Ward and Dirrell.

    Zero chance of that happening...he had the chance to take it like a man when he was in against Pavlik and bottled it like a girly :D

    If Ward and Dirrell are the real deal as Americans claim, they should beat Froch. Don't think he'll fair well with athletic fighters, not unless they gas.

    who's names does Kessler have on his record?

    Kessler would never beat Hopkins. Never ever.

    Siaca, Mundine, Green, Lucas, Andrade, Beyer. Not a bad little resume, though some people who don't think a fighter counts unless he's p4p elite won't recognise any of them. Still there is no super middleweight out there with a better resume and at light heavy it's only the older guys in their late 30s and 40s who've been around decades.

    Froch beat Pascal cause he gassed
    Froch beat Taylor because he gassed

    What happens when he meets an opponent with that level of ability who doesn't gas?

    He loses.

    Maybe repeatedly clubbing them round the head partly contributed to them gassing.

    Froch surprised a lot for so-called experts.
