Calzaghe wont fight Froch since at his age he can't make super MW, and needs to fight at Light HW. But i dont know why Froch keeps calling him out of retirement. He even said BHOP beat Calzaghe and that he needs to get out of his armchair.
In fairness, Froch is known for dirty tactics as hitting behind the head as he did to Robin Reid and Andre Dirrell who really beat him.
One Froch fan from youtube dissed Calzaghe:
"Calzaghe the COWARD is TERRIFIED of Carl froch, instead of facing Carl froch, the COWARD chose to face people with DAY JOBS such as MILKMEN, WINDOW CLEANERS, FAST FOOD WORKERS, BANK TELLERS, POSTMEN, DINNER LADIES then BUMS FROM THE CONTENDER !!
Roy Jones = KO'd in TWO ROUNDS by Antonio Tarver FOUR YEARS EARLIER!
Roy Jones = KO'd brutally by Glen Johnson FOUR YEARS EARLIER!
Roy Jones = KO'd by Danny Green in 122 Seconds! lol
Mikkel Kessler = DESTROYED by Andre Ward!
Calzaghe = COWARD"
I will put poll if you think Calzaghe come out of retirment to fight in 2010.
there not my reasons they are facts...graham houston and buncey scored it to froch as well in fact even allan green scored it to froch...
As for the no body gives a **** rant, why asre you even responding on a froch thread if you dont give a ****???
You are obviously either a calzaghe or amir khan bumboy...
oh really!!! is that like the 400th time you have mentioned that buncey scored it for froch! your excuses are wearing thin. froch landed about 3 punches all night. and actually im not really a fan of calzaghe or khan so obviously stick that up your dick. and by the way, those are not facts. he didnt land anything, thats not a fact. dirrell landed alot more than froch did. you however, will never open your froch plated peelers. shame really because alongside pavlik, froch is the worst champion out of them all.
No way are you STILL trying to give reasons for why froch won! dont you get it? Froch is fcukin shite and nobody gives a fcuk. thats why his fights are live on internet streams and never to be seen live on tv.

lmao at bitter yanks still claiming the fallacy that dirrell won..
Dirrel failed on 3 very basic things..
1) he didnt land anything..
2) he didjnt throw any punches...
3) he ran away for 90 percent of the fight...
even if you replaced the judges with the ringside press froch would have won by unanimous decision..
EAven jimmy iowa and dan rafael had froch winning...
grow up...

I like Froch, but I think Joes career is complete, and speaks for itself.
Zags and Lennox should stay retired as the best fighters all-time in their respective weight classes.
The slapper would have been bested by many fighters in his weight class long time before Froch ever came around if he was not protected by his promoter and fought lesser competition like he did all his career. Lennox all to his credit was a great fighter and a true champion one of my favorites would have been bested by the man below in the gif I borrowed for ths post....Lefty

right now Froch is super confident and knows how to overcome the gap skill and make his will prevail. Froch would beat Calzaghe due to his superior will power. Calzaghe is a very satisfied man.
This is what people said about Lacy. The fact is that Calzaghe would UD most boxers today. I can't stand him, but its true. I suppose if he has actually slowed down to get caught more than once, he could be KO'd, but I definitely don't see Froch doing it.
No Calzaghe is afraid to lose his 0, that's what his legacy is all about. His resume is not impressive enough to suffer a loss.
At this time, he probably has ring rust whereas Froch is fighting the best fighters in the world in their PRIME. Nobody would care about a Calslappy tune-up so he'd fight Froch with no tune up fight.
Too much disadvantages for Calzaghe, he won't roll the dice. Prime for Prime Calzaghe wins a UD, but right now Froch is super confident and knows how to overcome the gap skill and make his will prevail. Froch would beat Calzaghe due to his superior will power. Calzaghe is a very satisfied man.
ughh
this is the only fighter that is highly rated that i will say.. is just plain terrible.. froch is just terrible. Only word to describe his boxing style.
Froch hasn't called him out, not to my knowledge anyway.
Even froch has realised how silly the lil obsession was.
Good to see froch doing his own thing without mentioning the c word after every fight.
The sad thing is their is no one like Calzaghe in Boxing right now.
He had his own unique style that caused problems for everyone who faced him. Not even the defensive wizardry of Bernard Hopkins could come up with an answer for it. If he would was exposed to the American public sooner hed be even bigger than Hatton was.
Right on. I really miss him. Fantastic fighter, and so exciting too - always came to fight, even with his brittle hands, he was always the one relentlessly pushing the action
As for the thread, no. Calzaghe is staying retired, that's a certainty. And Froch's damn lucky that's the case

I think Calzaghe shoulda fight one,two primes elite fighters more to be a certified,recognized ATG.I'm not sayin he isn't.BUT...
I think a win over Adamek or a win over Dawson would have been the real Cherry. something is missing on Joe's record.
A win over a prime fighter who isn't one dimensionnal(Dawson).Or a win against a pure beast(Adamek AT 200 lbs,(his real weight)shout out to dawson).
I mean,it's hard to say Joe isn't an ATG.He's the greatest 168 pounder of all time.21 defenses,undefeated,some closed fights but he never really get beat.
But,in Joe's era 168 was weak,period.
When you look at what happened to Kess against a Rookie(bullied,lost every rounds and get stopped).
And when you think Kess is maybe the better,more accomplished prime fighter he beat.
Of course,I think Kess career was at a dead point,he never showed good game after the Calzaghes loss,Ward is gold.
But WHATEVER Mikkel get humiliated by a Rookie.It's like that.
Calzaghe beat a lot of decent challengers like Bika,Pudwill,Brewer a lot of paper champs ala Lacy,Kess and Byron Mitchell.
Don't get me wrong,HE BEAT THEM SO EASY,that I'm convinced Calz is a damn great fighter.
It's sad because Joe retired a lil too earlier cuz would have bitchlslap Dawson by wild UD in early 2009,now it's too late.
ever heard of sven ottke who has the same credentials at the same exact time as calzaghe. 2 all time greats im guessing.
pudwill is a decent challenger? :birthday:
Here are the 3 fights Calzaghe needs to complete to gain his respect.
Rematch with Hopkins (first match was SD and Hopkins was never hurt)
Andre Ward (Calzaghe and Ward both beat Kessler, we need a showdown)
Arthur Abraham (best SMW in the world, and probably winner of Super Six)
No,he had nothing to gain in a rematch with Hopkins.
1.That mother****er of Nard is always dangerous.
2.It was a SD but not a robbery,just at worst a "could have gone either way".So a win.
3.Hopkins was old,you have nothing to gain in rematching an old but still dangerous dude.
Ward,Abraham??
I think it's too late,but he should have fight Dawson and maybe put a first loss on Erdeis record or a second on Adamek's.His legacy would have been totally completed.
Actually,his ATG legacy isn't like I said.
He's a proven modern great and it's not bad.He's great and his haters on outube ala Bonsinno,Primeraprime are unfair and one sided,in denial.
ATG its tough to say since 168 was pretty much weak,especially his WBO mandatories,and his 175 campain is against two vets.
I mean,beatin Dawson would have confirme.
Hopkins confirmed beatin Tarver Winky and Pav.
His SD against B HOP,Reid,his wins over Roy and Kess are doubtfull.
Like Hopkins wins over welters and contenders were...
if calzaghe came back to fight froch, it would be the 1st time i ever root for him
Agreed. I can't stand Calz, but I think he would destroy Froch, and I'd root for him to do so.
