Froch is the hardest fight out there for Joe now, style wise and i believe Froch can get under Joe's s
Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Carl Froch fan but this comment seems a bit absurd. You dismiss Kessler as just having beat Mundine, Beyer and Andrade even though he's a double world champion and then say Calzaghe needs to fight Carl Froch, whose biggest win to date is probably Brian Magee?

Kessler is a fringe p4p star, one of the only current 'super' champions and would be an extrememely tough fight for Joe. Mundine is no joke, he's a world class, slick counter puncher who would give anybody at 168 lbs problems. Beyer was a step up from Peter Manfredo and Kessler destroyed him. Andrade although raw and lacking in experience was a tough as nails bastad whose all pressure style was expected to give Kessler real problems.

Eubank aside there is no bigger name on Calzaghe's record than Kessler's imo. And Kessler is only 28, Calzaghe is 35
