We will never know, but lets look at the S6 winner and their fights and compare it to Calzaghes run at the closest time to the comp.

Wards 5 S6 fights
rusty past best, already beaten Kessler
A Green
past best rusty Bika
Abraham on a run of 1-2
Froch who had lost to Kessler and was coming off a Mdec over old G Johnson

Calzaghes 5 fights
undefeated world champ Lacy (who was favoured to win)
prime Bika
Manfredo
undefeated prime Kessler
Hopkins away

Calzaghes run looks far more impressive, so your point doesnt hold much value

Would Joe have signed to fight Kessler away from the UK ? no

Calzaghe said he was happy to fight away to Kessler but his promoter got him home court.

Would Joe have been losing to the likes of Groves on two occasions ? no cos Joe would never have fought an up and come fighter who would have given him a challenge.

atsch. If Calzaghe had of fought Groves, chances are it would have been a very easy win for Calzaghe, where people would be calling it a Calzaghe gimme. The Groves fight was a similar level to Calzaghes with Starie

You really are an uneducated clueless cnut.

Where in britain did Froch fight Taylor ?
Froch won evry round from the 6th against Taylor, so how the fcuk did he get lucky ?

How was Joe "the man "at 168, who did he beat to claim that position ?

Joe was the WBO champ who'd beaten nobody and never left Wales except for the odd excursion into other parts of the UK and his hometown of London. Kessler was WBC and WBA Champ.

Before you try acting the cnut on a boxing forum, try doing your homework ********.

Calzaghe also fought and defended in Denmark, Germany America

Is this a joke? Froch has world's biggest ego but he's a mediocre super middleweight. Ward and Calzaghe school him every time.
