    Please. I thought is plainly obvious what I meant by that. Best not to give people advice such as not to be simplifying shit. If I said no way does Cal beat Roy Jones in the context of this thread would you post a youtube vid of Cal beating Roy?

    I'm responding to the person I quoted and styles do make fights and I could give two shits if people over use the dam term.

    The term is "I couldn't give two shits"

    Regardless of what's said about, Calzaghe undefeated undisputed Super Middle Weight Champion of the
    world , also Light Heavy Weight Champion of the world, has a nice ring to it .
    Carl Froch HAST LOST TWICE, were for all the BS , remember the only people THAT COUNT, scoring
    a fight are the Judges.
    If Froch had meet Calzaghe, Joe would have given him a important lesson a boxing lesson it's
    called chap's, you all seem to get carried away with Froch he and has been OUT-BOXED, as
    luck goes Talyor out boxed him all night dropped Froch, until he got lucky.
    Froch is A GOOD fighter, but I would only rate him 4th in all time great Super Middle Weights
    we have produced.

    The other one that gets misinterpreted is "I couldn't care less" I always see it written as "I could care less"

    Just because Froch has a better record doesn't mean he's a better fighter. We are basically comparing fighters from different eras.

    But the fact is - Mitchell, Brewer, Woodhall - some of Calzaghe's best wins - are not as good as Pascal, Taylor, Abraham, Bute, Johnson etc, especially when you consider Froch's victims are still winning titles, fighting in world-class, whereas Calzaghe's victims were coming off a defeat and never did a thing again.

    Hopkins has a better record than Roy Jones but prime for prime he never beats him.

    Interesting. Both are common expressions especially orally and I suppose Canadian slang. When written, it’s a matter of what came before it and in response to what. Just two different ways of saying the same thing.

    Joe is a great fighter...but, he never took as many risks as froch and unfortunately he fought guys(not all) that were past their primes and never gave rematches in close decisions.

    Froch never lies about injuries toget out of fightsand never ducked anyone inc glen johnson.

    I still think 46-0 is an amazing achievement but its a shame when anyone brings it up theres a bit of an empty feeling in that undefeated record

    If you could care less that means you must care a little. If you couldnt care any less that means you just care so little about it you couldnt care any less at all.

    I rewatched the Calzaghe Kessler fight leading up to last nights. It really was a masterful performance from Calzaghe, the small adjustments he made to basically have Kessler at a standstill for the second half of the fight were brilliant and showed just how clever a fighter he was. Sure he had off nights, thats a given over a 40 odd fight career, but when he was in the most apparent danger Joe boxed circles around the two guys that were supposed to beat him.

    Froch better than Calzaghe? Not a chance.

    Kessler that Calzaghe beat > Kessler that Froch beat

    I don't think Froch is greater than Calzaghe.

    It's about skill boxing, yes Froch can brawl he can box a bit to be honest I laugh when, people
    compare Froch to Calzaghe, Joe is like a fine wine hard for philistines to appreciate, were
    Carl is like cheap cider rough as a bears ass.

    Don't know about Calzaghe wiping the floor with Froch either. If you struggle with the strength and gameness of Bika and only beat an old Hopkins by virtue of Hopkins atrocious punch output then the relentless and insanely strong fighter who threw 1000 full bodied REAL punches (not pitter patter slaps) last night might give you a problem or two?
