    I like froch but Joe is an an entirely different league. Froch is tough and would come forward all night but wouldn't be able to do ****. Joe had a granite chin and only fought harder when hit. Joe by wide UD...

    calzaghe is too fast and his straight left is too accurate (a very underrated part of his game) and would penetrate forch's leaky defense....also joe is a swarmer and as ward proved, educated swarming (as in swarming in bursts) whilst throwing fast, accurate punches and tying up really frustrates froch. Now Calzaghe isn't as slick as ward but his defence is adequate and he has that great chin to back it up too. i could see joe implementing this tactic and winning in the 9-3, maybe even 10-2 range

    The only thing Froch has is a good beard, decent jab and some punching power.
    His technique and tactics are too horrible to be even called technique or tactics.
