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.
