    This is going to be announced at a press conference tomorrow in US.

    Really looking forward to this - it has to be shown in the UK surely Showtime have already got Sky on board - and seeing how far Froch can go.

    If (and it's a big if) he takes on an beats Dirrell, Abraham and Kessler over the next 18 months then you'd have to say that his achievements at SMW were comparable with Calzaghe.

    If Froch beats those three fighters then his CV would be in different class to Calzaghes (IMHO)

    Indeed, apart from the longevity.

    Cleverly worded. Yes your right but there's no Hopkins or god forgive me for saying this Jones.... If he were to win those fights and Dawson was to establish himself properly as a HBO fighter then maybe he's got a bit of an argument.

    Ultimately the comparison is pretty irrelevant though, Calzaghe was by far the better fighter.

    He was hampered massively by the matches made during his career. But that really wasn't his fault.
