I disagree with literally every word your posted on this subject so far. you slate Lewis and calzaghe yet praise froch as an all time great? Calzaghe won every single fight , he beat 14 world champions and won an all time record 23 straight world title fights over a decade as world champion, beating eubank, brewer, lacy, mitchell, kessler, roy jones, popkins, to name but a few. Fact roy and popkins ducked him for years because 1) he wasnt famous enough to make them money and 2) because he was such a difficult opponent. Tyson ducked Lewis for years in similar fashion.
The man is a complete and utter legend. 46 and 0 undefeated undisputed super middleweight and lightheavy weight champion of the world, goes on at the very top , with his family beside him, Tom Jones singing the anthem and sylvester stallone cheering him on, holding the belts, beating the nineball out of roy jones all at the spiritual mecca of boxing, madison square garden. If thats not great then nothing is!
