I respect calzaghe stamina and workrate as he never seems to tire.
He is undeafeated and all his fights could not have been bums.
Frank warren has alot to do in protecting his fighter and it worked to joes advantage.
No one knows who would have won between joe and carl froch but perhaps joe would have nudged it.
But i must say carl fights anyone in any country at any time and he has ducked no one.
Froch gives his all,but he doe's no have the skill's to beat Calzaghe ,you don't and stand in front of Froch
you box him. Joe would have beat him very much, the same way he beat Kessler, Froch has a good engine but Calzaghe has a better one.
We seem to forget Joe, hand very bad hand trouble throughout his career, so considering being a undefeated World champion, what a feat as they say second to none.!
