    Where do we get these clowns? :rofl

    Brian Magee, Matthew Barney and Henry Porras are now legends of the game...Evans Ashira is not a patch on these brutes. Evans Ashira probably beats every clown on Froch's record pre-Pascal, thats how shitty his competition was and how long it took him to step up. Calzaghe's was poor for years, Froch's was beyond awful.

    Don't read to much into that. David Tua was knocked out in the amateurs, that has never came close to happening in the pro's.

    Because the format in this Super Six Tournament is so great, whoever comes out victorious has already built himself one hell of a resume. Four of those fighters are undefeated, only one of them can potentially remain so after all is said and done. This is an absolutely groundbreaking tournament, and one that the sport of Boxing has been crying out for.

    In the event Carl Froch is victorious, he would have a stellar resume and would have already practically cleaned up at SMW. That is very credible, but it wouldn't be enough to surpass the legacy of Joe Calzaghe, who proved himself over a much longer period of time. It's a hell of a start, though.

    Wales is a small country you don't tend to have to go looking for someone to find them, you just bump into them!
    Having Calzage and Wilde from the principality along with the other stars is stellar.

    Froch would have to beat more and better opponents than Calzaghe because his title reign won't be as long.

    Winning the super 6 without a loss and perhaps beating Bute and Balzsay would put him up there.

    However, Froch won't have:-

    Chris Eubank, Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins on his record. These were the cream of the crop at 160-175lbs around the early to mid 1990's.

    Bute is IBF and arguably the best of the bunch. Balzsay is WBO and no bum. I'd fancy Balzsay over Abraham, Taylor and perhaps one of the undefeated Americans. He would not have cleaned up the division.

    Calzaghe has already handily beaten Kessler who is the favourite to win the super6 tournament.

    Calzaghe would win every second of every round in a fight vs Carl Froch.

    Froch would lose to Chris Eubank, Mikkel Kessler, Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones and possibly even pre-shoulder surgery Jeff Lacy.

    Carl Froch was getting SCHOOLED against Jermain Taylor before Taylor gassed. I had Taylor 9-3 up.




    Carl Froch is the supermiddleweight equivalent of Carlos Baldomir or Antonio Margarito, he will go as far as his very good chin allows him to. Comparing him to Calzaghe is an absolute joke Jeff, this thread is nearly as bad as your Ricky Hatton "2 victories" thread.

    Oh i do apologise... i thought i was commentating on the comment made that Calzaghe fought with bad hands...

    Ive illustrated that Froch has a) fought with genuine, proven bad hand injuries and b) not only won, but knocked out better opponents.

    Thus putting that 'excuse' to bed.

    You just stick to the insults kids, let the big boys talk FACTS

    :hi:

    You've quite clearly demonstrated what an adult you are...:lol:

    You don't even need to try with some of the goons on here these days. Johnny come lately glory fans, I was one of the few ****ers defending Froch only a year or so ago before he fought Pascal. He was a long running joke, but I knew he'd step it up and be good for his word. ******s like you are priceless coming along like you know something...:p

    Americans give Froch no chance to win even one fight.

    Froch had the bollox to take a first title defence against Jermaine Taylor .... that for me seperates Calzaghe and Froch ....
