Calzaghe steps up in class then steps all the way down. Froch mixes in the company of the best. Him saying no to DeGale is not the same as Calzaghe saying no to him. Bika, Manfredo and even Jones were not the best at the time.
Froch has a lot of moxie so would make it competitive, but lets face it lads, Joe would stand him on his head. Carl wins maximum 3 or 4 rounds in that fight.
The best avoided Joe Calzaghe, and when they did face him. He beat them up. Chris Eubank is better than ANY fighter, Carl Froch has ever shared the ring with.
bellew needs to win a world title before mentioning calzaghe. Froch has gone up in my estimation, although at the time he was calling Calzaghe out he was no where near and Froch once he has retired might agree
