    Just to play devil's advocate;

    Calzaghe>Kessler>Froch

    How do you think that effects their respective standings? With Calzaghe being the man that beat the man?

    It's interesting...but if you do the same like this...

    Malinga > Benn > Eubank

    I think it provides an answer. There are opponents Calzaghe has faced that I think Froch would have handled better than Calzaghe and vice versa.

    I think Big Dunk has a point, it's a stronger CV than Calzaghe's for sure IF he wins. I don't think it's fair to put him down on the grounds of one shared opponent.

    Froch also fought Kessler in Denmark.

    Doesn't make that much difference, Calzaghe pretty much schooled Kessler in the middle rounds and down the stretch whereas Froch was on the backfoot a great deal and got outworked to the body.

    Froch won't win the super six while Andre Ward is still in it so this is pointless.

    Love the above.

    If anyone can do a Harrison is better than Ali "man who beat the man link" I will be very impressed. I'm at work so can't do it right now!

    Plus if Froch was to beat Ward it would be Froch>Ward>Kessler>Froch

    Moot point really. No way is Froch winning the super 6. AA is a risk laden fight and I only make him the slightest of favourites. Ward will handle him with ease. No way in hell is Froch beating Ward.

    you feel like punching me in the face? bring it on you ***got. I know multiple fighting styles, and I also carry a switchblade with me at all times. Something ****ing tells me that you'd be better off keeping your arms down at your sides. If you can't ****ing put "cause" and "effect" together in that pathetic brain of yours, I'll help you out here. You'll be standing face to face with me, and let me ****ing tell you, it'll already be too ****ing late to back down at that point. You might decide "well ****, I might as well stay true to my word and throw a ****ing punch". This is where you will go wrong. I hope you don't have a job that requires two ****ing hands, because you're going to be missing one after I'm done with you. I'll casually divert your fist off to the side, as you suddenly realize you may have gotten yourself into something you can't back up. You'll try to regroup and pull your arm back, but that wont be easy when I jab my spear-pointed Benchmade switchblade straight through the bone in your forearm, and proceed to rip your entire ****ing forearm and hand off in one quick pull. At this point, you'll probably spend 2 seconds in shock. I say 2 seconds, because thats the amount of time you'll have before I reverse the knife in my hand, and uppercut it straight through your throat. You'll spend your last few seconds gurgling blood, and wondering where you went wrong. After that, I'll be forced to take care of any witnesses who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nothing a few quick choke slams can't fix, followed by a nice gentle slice across the jugular with the Benchmade.

    Now, mother****er, you sure you want to go through with that punch?

    froch will rank above calzaghe if he wins the super six. you have to remember the calzaghe kessler fight was in cardiff. the froch kessler fight was in herning, denmark. both fighters won a home town decision. if the fight with froch and kessler was in nottingham than froch would have won by ud.
