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.
Just because Froch gets hit more often than Calzaghe doesnt make him tougher. Froch did get dropped by Taylor, a middle weight who couldnt drop welter weight Spinks or light middle Ouma.

Froch hasnt really fought any noted big punchers other than Kessler.

Id like to see how Froch deals with Bika
Arthur Abraham, Lucian Bute, Mikkel Kessler x2, all 3 of them can hit. As for Jermain Taylor his power is pretty solid it's just his stamina isn't that good. You say Froch got decked by Taylor who was a world class fighter BTW.

Didn't Joe Calzaghe get decked heavily by Kabary Salem ? who only had 12 stoppages ?

Also you say you think Froch hasn't really fought any punchers, well how many monster punchers did Calzaghe really face either ?
