    Glad to see froch show a bit of humility towards calzaghe for once. I actually think it would of been a dull one sided affair with froch just being far far too slow on the night but hey you never know!

    Froch handled that better than Joe I think. Joe in his prime was a too much for Carl, they're both top fighters though in their own right.

    Calzaghe just on a higher level. He could be outgunned, outsped, outpowered, but he had that magnificent Italian heart with Welsh balls. This dude loved to fight I give him that. Froch is similar, but not the same intensity.

    That was pretty cool. Froch as always shows some class. You can really see the weight difference now that Joe doesn't have to stay at his fighting weight.

    Always shows class huh? I guess that's until he starts bitching away to the press again about how he's the greatest British fighter, and blah de blah.

    He did, quite rightfully, pull Khan up for calling himself a superstar earlier in the show though.

    Froch came off very decent. Joe, as usual, finding it hard to give the other man his props.

    I am not a fan of either one personally, but Calzaghe is a level above Froch in my opinion....10-2/9-3 type decision in rounds, with perhaps Froch scoring an early KD..But overall Calzaghe controls the fight.

    Froch will be like that in front of Joe, when hes not there he takes cheap shots at him. Always has.

    Calzaghe in his prime would win, and easily at that.

    Joe would have beaten Froch fairly easily.. His(Calzaghe) workrate and ring craft being the main factors in beating Froch.
