    Default Call me stupid but I think Carl Froch beats Calzaghe.

    Seriousley, the way Calzaghe was leaving hismelf so open last night. Getting knocked down again by a punch that never even conncted flush. I think his resistance is gone totally.

    Somebody fresh with power, determination and speed will beat Calzaghe.

    Carl Froch is his name.

    He was only leaving himself open to make Jones throw more, Froch is a good fighter and I'd like to see a big domestic bout between the two. If Froch beats Pascal in good fashion I think he deserves a shot at Joe 100%

    I've had this long time feeling that Froch will stop JC. I don't think he is in anyway better, I just think a freak occurence will happen

    If carl hurts JC he really will see red and finish him off. Hes A LOT powerful than that version of Jones last night and if JC even dared to do any of that coward shit in front of Froch he would get KTFO !

    I either see a stoppage win for Froch or close fight but JC taking the nod over 12 hard faught rounds.

    JC is looking his age a little, I think he is there for the taking.

    Froch will do well to beat Pascal let alone Calzaghe.

    Froch is to slow to trouble Calzaghe. He can punch yes. But that's all he'd bring a punchers chance. Which is not enough.

    Still.. i'd prefer this fight to Dawson should Froch beat Pascal and Calzaghe carrys on.

    Me too mate..Froch is gonna have a nightmare with Pascal (someone i seriouly rate) but it's is possible but a real big ask but he'll have to fight at the very best of his potential to beat him and i badly want him too.
    I don't think JC will ever lose ...the guy simply operates on a different level to anyone else about at present and is way too skilled and fast.
    I do agree that his punch resistance may be on the slide though but he has so many more ways he can beat you that he'll just destroy all comers.

    Paschal looked chinny on ESPN last time.

    He's fast and athletic but looks a bit fragile.

    Definitely don't see Froch beating Calzaghe, would be surprised if he fought him.

    Well I think Calzaghe outclasses Froch in every area.

    That said Calzaghe does drop his hands and has been caught in his last two fights.

    Kessler caught him with a cracking uppercut as well.

    Froch can really really bang and he definitely has the power to knock Joe out.

    It would be a dangerous fight for Joe, I'd say 4 times out of 5 Calzaghe would out speed and out slick Froch.

    But Froch COULD land and end the fight, although I'd give that punchers chance to many other big punching fighters as well.

    But Froch has that wild crazy, hands down style as well and tries to rely on luring opponents in and catching them with those sick uppercuts.

    Many a fighter has fallen victim to that and Calzaghe could in theory get caught coming in.

    I'd actually love to see the fight, big fan of both fighters.

    I know it's a bit off topic, but can I ask you why you rate Pascal? I've seen several of his ESPN fights, and he doesn't impress me much as all. He's flashy and it looks good against tomato cans, but I don't think it will look near as impressive against better competition. Pascal is quick, has moderate power, but his defense strikes me as poor and I have no faith in his chin; I think Froch should make relatively easy work out of him.

    Nothing wrong with his resistance, he has genuine powers of recovery and is very hard to hurt after he's warmed up. I think his resistance improved at 175 compared to the Kessler fight where he had to think twice after the 4th round, the uppercut in the 6th asgainst Roy was harder than anything Kess landed. He should def stay at 168 if he continues.

    Calzaghe would destroy Froch, I'm a huge Carl Froch fan but man he would annihilate him.
