    Now I know why Joe Calzaghe avoided Froch. The punch Froch landed on Groves was harder than anything Jones or Hopkins could muster. Joe could outbox Carl, but if that lands, he's gone.

    Couldn't KO Pascal, Kessler, Abraham, Johnson, Ward, Dirrell etc he wouldn't KO Calzaghe. Stopping Groves Bute and a severely exhausted, shot Taylor does not mean you could stop Calzaghe. It wasn't even a 'put you to sleep for 2 minutes' punch, Joe would have beat the count. That shot is more likely to KO Ward than Calzaghe.

    Muhammad Ali didn't KO Foreman and Frazier, there's no way in hell he will KO or even hurt Foreman. Welcome to the 70s.

    Calzaghe was never KO'd. Froch never KO'd anyone who was as good as Calzaghe or anyone who had a chin as good as Calzaghe. It's like me saying Calzaghe or Froch would KO Ward.

    :nono Froch himself would've got up and maybe not even gone down receiving a similar shot.

    Yet Calzaghe was dropped by Kebabi Salem, ancient Hopkins, ancient RJJ and whoever else I'm forgetting. No one is immune to KOs especially when they fight the best and fighting the best wasn't something Calzaghe was usually interested in.

    Watch Calzaghe get dropped by Byron Mitchell.

    Let's say that he got hit with that shot (which he wouldn't because Calzaghe only got dropped coming in windmilling, he wasn't one to sit back on the ropes and look for the counter a la Groves). Let's say he goes down.

    Can you honestly imagine him staying down?

    Hell naw. Calzaghe was like a zombie (28 Days Later fast version) on PCP, he was gonna jump up and tear into you until you killed him.

    If it knocks out Calzaghe, it knocks out Andre Ward and Roy Jones Jr too. :D

    Nope, Calzaghe will give Froch that sick smile than proceed to break him down piece by piece.

    no calzaghe got up and tore into Byron with ineffective slaps, until joe turned to the ref to ask him to stop it (you can see him clearly turn to the ref on youtube), then Byron slipped and ref stopped it unnecessarily.

    yet no stoppage for Byron for flooring the Joe earlier.


    with neutral ref, froch can stop joe. hell if froch had a paid ref like joe did he would definitely stop joe.

    It was hell of a punch but I have never seen Froch as a monster puncher and still don't now. I see him as a very solid puncher that finds his success through volume.

    Slow and plodding Froch gets SCHOOLED and overwhelmed by the greatest volume puncher in the history of the SMW division :deal

    12-0 - Calzaghe.
