Joe Calzaghe has been heralded for his undefeated record since retirement, but super-middleweight rival Carl Froch believes that one of his former opponents could have put a stop to the Welshman\u2019s unbeaten run, if they collided in their primes.<\/p>\n
Calzaghe and Froch were linked to one another for years but \u2018The Italian Dragon\u2019 instead opted to move up to light-heavyweight, where he would twice fight in America.<\/p>\n
Up at 175lbs, Calzaghe kept his \u20180\u2019 intact<\/a>, overcoming both Bernard Hopkins<\/a> and Roy Jones Jr<\/a> to end his career with wins over two boxing legends, but Froch believes that another American fighter would have gotten the better of the Brit.<\/p>\n On his YouTube channel<\/a>, \u2018The Cobra\u2019 named the 168lb superstar whom he believes would have bested Calzaghe, admitting that he cannot see how Andre Ward<\/a> loses that fight when speaking with the 41-year-old Californian.<\/p>\n \u201cI always thought what would happen in a fight with you and Calzaghe and I did a little short on it and it was close, but I had you winning because I don\u2019t see how you lose. I can\u2019t see you losing. How do you think you would have got on?\u201d<\/p>\n In response, \u2018Son of God\u2019 also declared his belief that victory would be achieved, before recognising how difficult a fight with the Newbridge-born southpaw would be.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, I believe I win, I have to think like that as a competitor. I think that I would find a way and figure it out but that would be a tough fight for me. It\u2019s because of all the stuff you know about Joe; the speed, the punch count and that toughness, and he would come in tip-top shape.<\/p>\n \u201cIt would be a very, very tough fight for both of us and that\u2019s a toss-up fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
