To a much lesser extent froch has also and i truly believe he will have learnt a lot from those 1st 6rounds with taylor and can move on from it. I believe carl is the betting favourite
Unbelievable

You deserve a "Saddo member with the most bizarre observations" award.
To be fair, Calzaghe's hand-speed is just not comparable with Dirrell's, who might be the fastest MW & above since a prime RJJ.

Although reading through the quoted post, I have to say it is bizarre where Joe Calzaghe came from

fenster if you mean the 12-14 slap combinations then you may well have a point.

But how often exactly did you ever see calzaghe throw mosley like combo power punches that genuinely hurt an opponent??
