Hard to say, Froch fought much better fighters.

Ward is the only fighter that could be considered better than anyone on Calzaghe's record and he got schooled. After that there's very little between them in terms of opposition.

He would have.
Resume comparisons aside, Joe beats him by a wide UD

I've no doubt that Calzaghe would have prevailed, however, I'm sure Froch would have had his moments.
As an all around fighter, Calzaghe was a much better package, and actually every bit as tough as Froch to boot when needed.

I can certainly understand the arguments about their respective resumes, but is there really any debate that Calzaghe would have beaten Froch if they boxed in their primes?

I would probably put money on JC, but IMO Froch fought much better opposition overall.

Ashira faced the premier fighter in the division but lost & was thoroughly outboxed, even though his opponent only had one good hand.
Perhaps Carl can relate to that experience

Wasn't strength, Ward was an outstanding collegiate wrestler - that's why he manhandled Carl so easily in the clinches
