I'm not a fan of Froch as a person, but after...

Scared to fight the best in the division.

Warrior my ****ing arse.

 

Couldn't agree more! was thinking the exact same thing watching Ringside tonight. He was actually being sound as well in interview surprisingly.

 

Great post.

Also thought froch came across really well on ringside, nice to see him laughing about himself when Nelson called him an international superstar haha.

 

Froch's had a top class career, got to take your hat off to him.

That said, Calzaghe's "laughable" career?

- Undefeated in 46 fights
- Beat Kessler who holds a victory over Froch
- World champion in 2 weight classes
- Held the ring title in those 2 weight classes meaning he was "the man of the division" something Froch hasn't done.
- Longest reigning SMW champion in history
- Was ranked top 3 pound for pound

You can dig holes into Calzaghes career like you can do anyone's for example;

- Eubank wasn't prime when he won the title
- Jeff Lacy turned out not to be the monster we thought he was after Calzaghe gave him a boxing lesson
- Robin Reid in his pomp gave him a good, hard close fight.
- Roy Jones and Hopkins were old (although Calzaghe was 37 himself and they were the last 2 fights of his career, those 2 still haven't jacked it in with Hopkins still being a world champion).

...but then same token, you can do the same to Froch;

- Has never been the number 1 in the division.
- 2 losses to Ward and Kessler
- Was on the floor and on the bring of losing to a blown up MW in Taylor, but credit to him pulled it out the bag in the dying seconds.
- Arguably lost to Andre Dirrell, who although many say is a talent has beaten nobody of note whatsoever.
- Arthur Abraham another blown up MW who hasn't been the same "monster" he was previously billed as since moving up to 168
- Lucien Bute, again who has he ever beaten? Very much hyped before Froch took him apart.
- Glen Johnson, years past it.

Swings and roundabouts. Both had top class careers but Froch hasn't made Calzaghe's career look laughable by any stretch of the imagination.

 

Big Tocker went 12 with Ottke, super Joe smoke him in 2 rounds :hat

 

You can give one fighter credit without having to **** on others. Ruined an otherwise good post/thread with that. Froch and Calzaghe have both had good careers as have Mayweather, Haye and others.

 

Just Joe will always be considered the numero uno of the two :yep

 

How am I wrong?

And as for how you are wrong:

This ^ is all wrong

I don't see how this ^ is true either.

And I don't really see what your point is here ^. Neither Bute nor Calzaghe ever had the opportunity to enter the 'Super 6'. There is no way of knowing whether either of them would have entered if given the chance but I see no reason why not. Ward and Dirrell entered and they don't seem like the bravest of warriors. Bute showed interest in fighting Ward and actually did fight Froch. Calzaghe fought his two biggest SMW threats in Lacy and Kessler.
