Sooooo.....Does Carl Froch have a better resume than Joe Calzaghe????

Calzaghe beat the crap out of Kessler at his prime! Hehe!

 

This post is a joke, right?

 

Not yet

 

Froch is yet to defeat a reigning champion.

Arthur Abraham was Froch's first prime fighter and Richie Woodhall would have beaten him.

Twice in two fights Abraham perfomed the same way...he's going the same way as Jeff Lacy.

 

Calzaghe beat B-Hop and Kessler and was champion for 10 years. He also was ring champion in both SWM and LHW.

Froch has not done as much, but I am all for him getting a more respect from the fans.

 

As much as I don't like Calzaghe..Joe has a better resume, but not by much...

 

Easily.

 

No.
Calzaghes resume consists of
Eubank
Reid
Woodhall
Mitchell
Brewer
Hopkins
Jones
Lacy
Kessler
Veit
Mkertchyan
Starie
Manfredo
Bika

Fighters like Mkertchyan and Veit have achieved more at SMW than Dirrell or Abraham,

 

this is a good question. i think they're pretty close. a big part of being a great fighter is who you beat and when you beat them. calzaghe was a good fighter but his resume at 168 can be surpassed with just a couple of good victories. it's pretty pathetic that joe will get the hof imo.

 

it's not good when you have to argue that mkrtchyan, veit and manfredo are some of joe's best wins.

 

Of course not. Calzaghe was world super middleweight champion and lightheavyweight champion. He made 21 defences of the WBO title. He retired undefeated with a record of 46-0. And, by the way, Calazaghe beat Kessler (soundly), Froch did not.
Froch was excellent against Abraham, but let's face it, Abraham is a one-paced, one dimensional fighter who happens to throw the occasional big punch.
I'm sure after Froch fights Ward there will be another spate of threads declaring him (wrongly) to be an over-hyped bum.

 

Kessler Abraham
Hopkins Kessler
Lacy vs Dirrell
Eubank Pascal
Reid Taylor


Kessler and Reid are common opponents and if Pascal beats Hopkins even at his advanced age would really elevate Pascal even more and make his scalp even better for Froch.

I think if you look in depth as Calzaghe has had many more fights and compare it to Froch's then you have to give Froch credit for catching up to Calzaghes achievements in less than 28 fights.

Brewer, Woodhall, Bika, Mitchell and a shot to pieces RJJ are much better than the filler in Froch's record but as I stated Froch has had far less time and fights than Joe.


Calzaghe is the much better boxer though and would have and probably still would box Froch's ears off.

 

I didnt. I said they have done more at SMW than a fighter like Dirrell. Dont try and twist what was written

 

Bit of a difference about where Reid was in his career when Calzaghe and Froch fought him though
