Re: Can froch now legitimately claim to be remembered as better than Calzaghe
The way to look at it is this, Froch has lost, so he is fallible and there is blueprints to beat him.
Calzaghe never lost so there isn't any way to beat him.
--------
Froch is much tougher than Calzaghe was.
Calzaghe was much more skilful that Froch is
--------
Calzaghe was faster.
Froch hits harder
--------
Froch fights in a much better super middle weight division than Calzaghe did.
Calzaghe beat prime Kessler, Froch lost to declining Kessler in that division.
--------
KO ratios
Froch 66%
Calzaghe 69%
---------
Calzaghe moved up a weightclass and won a world title. Froch has yet to do that.
Froch is actually more suited to the move up than Calzaghe was.
---------
Froch always is exciting to watch, while Calzaghe sometimes stunk.
Calzaghe won his bad fights.
---------
Advantages for each man in a Froch vs Calzaghe.
Froch
More powerful
Tough and durable
Calzaghe can be dropped
Calzaghe
Quicker
Froch can be countered
Froch will be in the pocket for quick combos
It really is straight down the middle, there's almost nothing to separate them.
I say Calzaghe still as he always found a way, I think that kind of speed is Froch' biggest enemy.
