Carl was a gritty tough fighter but I think Joe would have been another level, Joe was non stop and more dangerous when he had taken a punch, it spurred him on with a malice Carl only showed glimpses of. IMO. Carl was bloody good though.

Did Carl just acknowledge that there's other amazing fighters besides him? Amazing

People seem to forget Joe used to knock people out all the time until he had problems with breaking his hands. So he showed class and adapted to the situation he couldn't be undefeated breaking his hands every fight . Calzaghe was the definition of a boxer hit and not get hit and adapting to situations that's what boxing's about not knocking people out all the time that's why calzaghe is a true champion. I love how hard a chin froch has and heavy hands. He's a great boxer but calzaghe like I said is the definition of a boxer .if he was from abroad he would be one of the greatest all time only Americans love their own.

This is why I like Froch. Usually the response to someone saying someone else would have beaten you would be "no they wouldn't have!" But Carl thinks it's a fair assessment. I think Joe would have beaten him too through sheer work rate. Joe was one of the fittest guys to ever enter the ring. He could fight the 12th round like it was the 1st. Barely any boxer can do that these days.

Not many would’ve done the same thing and turned up for the event! Better to pull each others legs and talk about a missed opportunity and bad timing! Joe is, Well Joe Calzage! End Of! A Legend brought up the hard way! A one off! Carl certainly is a warrior and entertainer! He deserves his rewards! Ever seen him shy away in a fight? He’s toned down his persona now with time passing and is honest and true in his assessments of fights! The Welsh Wizard is set in stone!

Joe would have beat Froch with ease. Joe genuinely was one of the best of ALL time. Even with dodgy hands. He had amazing speed & timing. Most forget he put Eubanks down early before the hands went, so he had power too early on. Carl beat most, but he got beat by Kessler, who Joe was the first man to beat having previously gone 38 unbeaten. Plus Andre Ward, who I believe Joe would have also sorted out without too much trouble. And who knows what would have happened with Groves had the ref not stepped in to stop it. So for me it’s a simple one to call. Calzaghe all day, every day!! 👍🏻

Well done to Carl for achieving hall of fame status 👏, I think maybe from now on we may see a less bitter more positive Froch on his opinion on other fighters from now on after he has now got the recognition he has felt like he lacked over the years, he seemed different just in that interview and I mean in in a good way ,more cool and funny, I like this version of Carl Froch 💯👊🙏

Froch you need to get on this channel AND Boxing King Media who gives fighters props not just childish ‘banter!!!’

Great fighter, Froch. Well deserved, getting inducted into HOF. But like Calzaghe once said. "Froch isn't even the best in his division" enough said Joe....46-0

Love listening to the Cobra talk boxing knows his onions 🌰 what a guy 👦 👏

They were both exceptional champions

He dealt with the calzaghe question like a decent human being. Having watched both of them, and liked both of them, I’d have bet my house on Joe.

‘A couple of weeks ago I’m smoking weed..’ Nobody cracks me up like The Cobra..

Brutal mate very brutal

Calzaghe would have done to Froch what he did to all of his other opponents, out boxed him and out punched him over the full 12 rounds but I think it may well have been Calzaghe’s toughest scrap..Calzaghe victory for me 🥊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🥊

Reapect Karl .. A sober night is an honest night 😉 A compelling interview dude .. Impressed!

"RESPECT to You Carl", (On the assesment of the imaginary fight between you & Mr Calzaghe). Now, 'That Fight' would have been 'Something Else' to see,,'Sadly', it was never going to happen, But, We Have "Still 2 of the Greatest English fighters that Walked the Earth"..

Huge respect to Froch, one of our greatest and given us some great nights, but have to agree with those who have Joe beating him. It would go to a decision but I don't believe Froch had the tools to best Joe, no one did. Top taffy. The hall of famer thing is getting a bit tired tho... Anyway, two top top fighters nothing but respect for them both

Would of been a very good fight if both at their best would of been very close. Joe isn't knocking Carl out or stopping him but I would just edge it to Joe on points .

One thing is for certain Carl wouldn’t have ducked the fight. Proper champ

Froch seems to be the only person who thinks that JC wouldn't haven't beaten him. Every single person who I have seen asked have said JC wins easily. JC would have played with him.

Joe never gets spoken about like he should! It’s because he didn’t create a circus around him or jump into character like a WWE actor! Both amazing fighters with big balls, Joe for me on points!

Well done Carl, FairPlay to ya, even tho joe was next level all boxers should have that self belief in themselves

Well deserved he was a great fighter

Calzage v Froch would have been a decent match up, especially when you look at the timing Froch was calling Joe out. Joe being the better boxer and Froch being an all round awkward tough hungry opponent. I'd say Joe would have come out on top and out boxed him but Froch deffo would have given him a problem.

This is like comparing Eubank or Benn to Hagler or Leonard. This guy was not on the same level as Joe. Imo

I would fancy Joe to out point Carl over 12 rounds, his speed and punch volume might well have overwhelmed the cobra. However, if it's the Carl Froch that exploded on Lucien Bute, it could end up with Froch stopping Joe. He was awesome that night.

Froch got me back watching boxing again, especially with the George Groves fights. A true British legend and he's still great as a commentator and always a joy to listen to.
