    Would Calzaghe have been unbeaten if he would have faced Froch's level of oppenents, NO WAY

    No way was Manfredo a washed up Roy Jones Jr. I know Jones Jr got bad, but come on now.

    For fuck sakes...

    Calzaghe fought and beat comfortably a young unbeaten, established multiple world champion. Someone that Carl Froch lost to years later

    Also, Taylor and Abraham were middle weights. Dirrell had never fought any world class oposition, Johnson was an old faded drained light heavyweight. Ward made Froch look made of lead and Kessler just fought and tried harder than him cementing everyone with any common senses opinion that if Froch cant beat an older, faded version of Kessler, that Calzaghe would have done pretty much the same to Froch as he did to Kessler.

    Never said Froch would have beat Calzaghe, just think Calzaghe had an easier run of fights than Froch IMO, not taking away that Calzaghe had some good wins

    Its not even a matter of being a Calzaghe fan as years ago I couldnt stand him, much like I couldnt stand Froch but both have won me over, Froch with his willingness to make fights and fight hard and Calzaghe by just being a "fighting machine" as Manny Steward gushed while commentating on the Kessler fight.

    There is no denying Calzaghe was just a non stop punching machine. He had a boxing brain to boot and could take a hell of a shot. If you fight him early in his career you get battered with hard punches from all angles. If you fight him late in his career you get beaten to the punch and blitzed by non stop combinations and a fantastic work rate.

    He could be an arrogant cock but his fight with Kessler proved he could walk the walk. Even Ward had a rough time with Kessler.

    But anyway in answer to your thread, Tito, Froch is basically more likeable than Calzaghe to international fans. I think every poster agrees with that. *Group hug*

    I see you've learned the difference between your and you're, just missing the apostrophe now. It's funny to me that a boxing forum has basically revamped your ability to write and spell, you remind me of ICB in that regard How old are you? Did you ever finish high school? Have your terrible posts here really been the most practice you've ever had writing? Kind of sad really.
