The infrared freezing of observables is known to hold at fixed orders of perturbative QCD if the Minkowskian quantities are defined through the analytic continuation from the Euclidean region. In a recent paper [1] it is claimed that infrared freezing can be proved also for Borel resummed all-orders quantities in perturbative QCD. In the present paper we obtain the Minkowskian quantities by the analytic continuation of the all-orders Euclidean amplitudes expressed in terms of the inverse Mellin transform of the corresponding Borel functions [2]. Our result shows that if the principle of analytic continuation is preserved in Borel-type resummations, the Minkowskian quantities exhibit a divergent increase in the infrared regime, which contradicts the claim made in [1]. We discuss the arguments given in [1] and show that the special redefinition of Borel summation at low energies adopted there does not reproduce the lowest order result obtained by analytic continuation.
