    Love both guys but wondering who everyone think ranks higher..... I personally give the nod to Froch. I also think Froch has the style to beat calzaghe but its clearly up for debate...

    vote or die!!!!!!!!!!1

    I couldn't disagreed with you more.

    Head to head Joe makes Carl look foolish.
    117-111 type
    Carl is tough as hell, but his boxing skills are overrated, just because he outboxed AA.

    Joe is no Bute , say what you want about his "slaps", he has elite boxing skills. Cal's face would be busted up.

    Are you asking head to head or legacy? I think the answer is the same, but the poll is misleading then.

    Regardless, as someone said, Calzaghe is the GOAT at 168. Deal with it.

    Calz will win this vote.
    (But Froch is knocking at his door.)

    I wonder what my over sea's friends think about this??

    I feel like if anything frochs boxing skills are under rated. He has a terrific jab, a difficult rhythm to gauge, he faints really well, and has good footwork.

    I have nothing to say about "calz" slaps... he's got great adaptability inside of the ring. Good head movement and a good jab as well. I'm just not sure if he would be able to keep froch off him. Calz is super accurate but Froch was dying to fight Joe for years (kind of like tarver & RJJ), Froch vs Joe might be one of those super fights were froch turns into a machine and won't be denied... Could be wrong tho



    damn shame we never got to see it.

    I'm not impressed by Calzaghes blown up record. He would have lost to both Froch and Ward.

    Froch

    Crossed the pond and fought the best in their prime.:deal

    Better fighter....cagey and deciptive....KO power from both sides...tough as nails.

    More impressive wins.

    Froch gets legit KO's...he didn't need the ref to dive in and stop the fight for no reason.

    :yep

    Froch would do The Welsh Rabbit worse than he did Lucian Bute.

    Imagine what Froch would do to a shot Charles Brewer or Tokker Pudwell.

    He'd be in prison.

    Nothing Joe had was on par with Froch.

    Especially POWER.

    Calzaghe was by far the superior fighter. However, if you base your rankings on resume alone, Froch could be ahead
