Call me stupid but I think Carl Froch beats Calzaghe.

[yoitsdan]

Calzaghe would destroy Froch, I'm a huge Carl Froch fan but man he would annihilate him.

[ICB]

Well i don't believe it Yotisdan has made an appearance, i haven't seen you since the Hatton vs Mayweather fight.

[Taeth]

are you guys forgetting who Calzaghe is?

[Kirkland Laing]

Carl Froch has looked fast and powerful against some of the C/D level fighters he's been in a ring with and nothing special against others. But looking good against low level guys is what you expect from any prospect. They can look like Sugar Ray Robinson against domestic-level fighters and hasbeens, but when they move up in class we find they're not as good as we thought they were. Froch may look roughly the equal of the B level fighter he's finally, at the age of 31 and after ducking big fights for years, moving up in class to fight next, then nobody will be talking about him anymore.

Even if he does beat a B level guy I confidently expect him to get his arse handed to him when he finally finds the bottle to get in the ring with an A level guy like Kessler. Carl Froch is British and has a gigantic mouth which are his only apparent qualifications for being mentioned in the same sentence as Calzaghe.

[Rantcatrat]

I think a fight with Froch may make sense in Wales/England. I am sure fight fans would turn out in droves.

Would you rather see Joe fight Froch or Dawson?

Uhh how the hell has Carl Froch been ducking the big fights for years ? he wanted to fight Jermain Taylor, Denis Inkin, Joe Calzaghe, its not his fault that 2 of them pulled out, and the other one didn't want to fight him.

He's 31 and he's still fighting domestic level fighters. If he really had confidence in himself he would have stepped up in class years ago but he never did. When he was offered a fight with Calzaghe he bottled it.

[bambamdaddio]

are you guys forgetting who Calzaghe is?

Not a hope in hell if fought over the next 6 months ... Froch has all on in his next fight before talk of JC and even IF he comes thru that ok, JC is still far far too classy for Froch right now.

You make things up to make froch look bad and calzaghe look good or what?

Froch has wanted a piece of calzaghe for years joe didnt want the fight not the other way round.

Calzaghe will NEVER fight Froch or Dawson NEVER b'cus he knows these 2 guys will beat him. All calzaghe has built is a record and a bank balance he aint no great no legend lets forget about this fake now and leave him in retirement where he belongs.

[Deanrw]

If Froch even struggles with Pascal, it shows me that he is not championship caliber period.


The Hypocrisy here is amazing. Many of the same people who say Froch deserves a crack at Joe if he beats Pascal, also say Dawson is unworthy for a shot.

[Hulk]

Lets see Froch fight SOMEBODY first. Before we go around sayin he'd beat Joe Calzaghe. Thats laughable.

I think people are just bitter that Calzaghe beat Jones like that and was being such a disrespectful punk the whole time and wanna see him get smashed. I know I feel that way too. But I seriously doubt Froch could do it.

Leftylees choice of Carl Froch makes me laugh.

Im no boxing expert, but when it comes to looking for the man who is most likely to defeat super Joe I thought differently. My pick is Chad Dawson, im not overly confident in this prediction because beating Joe Calzaghe is not easy as has been proven recently. My theory behind Dawson being the biggest threat is that he is bigger than Joe, 6 ft 3, he has good boxing skills, and is proven against such veterans as Johnson, Tarver, Adamek, and Harding. Fair enought i thought.

But i was wrong. Lefty knew better.

The man to beat Joe C is 31 yr old Carl Froch. It does not seem to matter that he has NEVER beaten a fighter ranked in the top 40 in his division. The fact he has a shocking leaky defense is no problem either.....
Carl Froch hits hard, so he can beat Joe.

God help us all if Carl is the best challenger to the 175 crown. Boxing may as well shut down now.

I know you are being a bit terse here, but I get what yor saying and agree 100% Froch needs to do something at a high level..

Again though you cant blame Lefty all of us as well as every expert, analysts and fans are searching for the one to defeat Joe... Happens when your the undefeated king of the hill.. We just went through the same thing with Floyd Mayweather, the names that were coming out of the woodwork seemed ridiculous.. Froch has the power though and thats always a factor, but thats all Froch has at this stage and if he has more it hasnt been proven against a top fighter

[yoitsdan]

Well i don't believe it Yotisdan has made an appearance, i haven't seen you since the Hatton vs Mayweather fight.

You haven't been looking hard enough
