He's beaten better names at Super Middleweight than Calzaghe ever did.
Jermain Taylor
Andre Dirrell
Arthur Abraham
Jean Pascal
Lucian Bute
Mikkel Kessler
Glen Johnson
Apart from Mikkel Kessler obviously who on Calzaghe's list at Super Middleweight really compares with them names ?
Chris Eubank maybe but Eubank was weight drained and not in his prime, still a good win for Calzaghe. But other names like Woodhall, Reid, Lacy, don't really compare IMO.
And Reid and Woodhall were both coming off bad losses, Reid lost his title to a 42 year old Thulani Malinga in one of the worst world title fights i've ever seen.
And Woodhall had just lost to Markus Beyer, being decked 3 times by a fighter not known to be a hard hitter.
Calzaghe maybe the better skilled fighter, but Froch is more willing to fight the top boys and has beaten more dangerous fighters at Super Middleweight IMO.
