If Froch wins the Super Six series... does his legacy surpass Calzaghes?

I'm picking Froch because I am deliberately allowing myself to be persuaded by blind patriotism (although to be fair he does have a very good chance) but Ward is my sneaky favourite barrign Carl.

 

Kessler is the obvious choice to pick as favourite, but I think Ward might shock him in the opening fight.

People really believe Froch would beat Calzaghe? Based on what exactly? Taylor can box circles around Froch before gassing, but Calzaghe would be annihilted? When did anyone ever clamour for a Robin Reid rematch? He thought he lost the fight himself on the night, which he did. But hey, it's Calzaghe, it was obviouly a hometown decision.

Also, it's funny how Calzaghe can't receive credit for Hopkins going on to destroy Pavlik mere months after everyone claimed he was an old man that was shot to ****. Yet Froch is receiveing credit for beating an equally unproven SM, who would later go on to beat a fairly unproven LH.

 

anti calzaghe,dont know why??where was froch 5 year ago hes no spring chicken jeff

 

So the defeat to Branco straight after was another unlucky day at the office too? lol

And you fancy this workmanlike Reid to beat Jermain Taylor, a man who HOF Bernard Hopkins couldn't?

I think i've utterly exposed your comments and your trying to bail out of backing up your bull****.

'The one' - I'm sorry, but was their two Jeff Lacy's ?

So the pre-Calzaghe Lacy, that barely scraped past Omar Sheika (26-6) by scores of 113-115 was a different one that marginally outpointed Peter Manfredo (28-4) by a single point ? yet more bull.

So your saying that Eubank, the faded, losing run Eubank, amid a string of defeats at the end of his long career, would have too much for the new WBC light heavy champion Jean Pascal ?



Your name should be Toffee CACK 'cos thats what you talk.

:hi:

 

I don't need to do any studying. I'm fully aware those names are a damn sight better than Froch's British opposition.

Which is the point I was addressing, as wrongly claimed in the OP.

If you believe Tony Dodson, Brian Magee are better and that Robin Reid entered a time machine prior to fighting Froch you should probably take a look out of the window and check if there is not a wall surrounding the perimeter.

 

As for Jeff, you are just drawing distinctions where you see fit, you'll draw a line in the sand anywhere if it means you can 'award' something to Froch rather than Calzaghe.

Froch gets the dubious distinction of beating better British fighters that aren't world class...well done. Any logical person would simply conclude that Calzaghe beat better British fighters, period. But then again you are not logical on this subject.

 

All your missing is a Hopkins who Taylor beat twice anyway.

Sorry Calzaghe fans, but that is the truth.

I doubt he will win it though.

 

Sorry Jon, but the Taylor that beat BH wasn't the Tayler that lost to Froch. Anyway, how Taylor managed to lose that fight is beyond be...stamina should not be an issue at this level.

 

Matress, maybe getting punched by such a heavy puncher constantly over 12 rounds affected Taylor in the end ???

 

Even though by your criteria he is 'green'?

 

Get off boxrec and get back to reality you dumb **** :good

 

He has a point about Lacy's win against Reid ok I can see that. Reid was past his best of course but doesn't change the fact that a lot of people (like yourself have admitted) watched that fight and thought that Lacy could destroy anyone at 168. Then Calzaghe batters him for 12 rounds and all of a sudden he's a hype job.

 

i am kind of hoping for a taylor or ward win in the 1st round because if all 3 yanks loose the tourney will fall apart.

 

Even if he wins its debatable. He's certainly less talented anyway. I cant see him winning so it'll be irrelevant most probably.
