    Yeah but JT's stamina let him down. My point is, the first half of their fight, JT was in complete control. Frochs style was in no way a nightmare

    JC, with his extra stamina, would win a shut out IMO.

    Don't discredit Froch too much then..












    But nah you do have a fair point, Calzaghe's stamina was always one of his strengths.

    I probably underrate Froch if im honest.
    Stems from being a Calzaghe fan and having 200 pounds on Dirrel points at 9/2.

    Im not as bitter now, he's actually won me over.

    I dont have an issue with Calzaghe's resume, to me he pretty much fought everyone he could.

    But beating Froch after Froch winning the super 6 would definately help raise his resume further, but there would always be someone else he hadnt fought!

    calzaghes legacy is safe.

    lets think about froch's legacy now!

    if he pulls off what you say, beat ward then beat kessler, he has got to go down as one of the greatest british fighters ever

    It also one of Froch's strengths so Id say it was even on stamina.

    Do you feel Dirrell won that fight.

    I am sure we have covered this before but I just can't see it.

    Though it does not compare to how much I can't see how people can think B-hop beat Joe.

    Yip, we've argued over this fight a few times:good
    Yeah, i gave it clearly to Dirrel. Was a shitty, shitty fight so my opinion will never change as i'll never watch it again

    All credit to froch, he has grown as a boxer since the tournament began.

    As much as I like him to win being british and everything, my £300 is on ward.
