Without ever stepping in the ring against each other Calzaghe and Froch have battle for years... through the press, a verbal war... Now that Froch looses to Kessler; a man that Calzaghe beat, Calzaghe is probably laughing his ass off because now whenever Froch mentions his name he can always bring this up to shut his mouth... I know Calzaghe is happy a f*ck right now
Why are you giving Calzaghe props for once? :scared:
not really giving him props cause i think reid did beat calzaghe but if reid uses the same strategy he used against calzaghe i see him beating froch just like dale westerman was beating froch 6 rounds to 2 on my scorecard before the terrible stoppage by the ref.
I still don't know how people thought reid won that fight...I just have never seen it, it was a below par performance from calzaghe, I think he underestimated reid like ricky hatton with eamon magee, but he still outworked him in the championship rounds
reid used lateral movement and straight rights to win the fight. he definitely landed the better punches throughout but it was close. outworking means nothing to me unless you are landing. even the pro calzaghe announcers who were predicting an early calzaghe knockout over a faded reid scored the fight a draw at the end and they gave some rounds i scored for reid as 10-10 rounds.
the eubank that fought calzaghe probably would make a great fight but i see froch grinding him down and possibly the ref stopping it. eubank was knocked down everytime he faced the best fighters in his career calzaghe, collins, benn, watson all decked him and i see froch doing the same.
prime reid probably beats froch by decision but might get robbed and the brewer that fought calzaghe was very faded and would probably be knocked out quickly like he was against echols right before he fought calzaghe.

The eubank that stepped in the ring against calzaghe, lack of preparation or not would have given froch hell, not to mention a prime reid, and brewer.

froch knocked out robin reid who i and many others thought beat calzaghe. froch-kessler was a closer fight than reid-calzaghe to me and kessler is a much better fight than reid was in his prime.
bute also knocked out salem in his very next fight after he almost ko'd calzaghe.

sakio bika would probably give Froch a good fight. i'd like to see that fight actually

Why do the haters forget Calzaghes good wins like Kessler, Lacy, Eubank, Bika, Woodhall, Mitchell, Reid, and Sheika. The haters just bring up the worst wins like Manfredo. :usa1:
Hasn't Calzaghe beaten like 7-8 former champions? How many boxers can say that? He also defended his belt like 23 times or so and set a record at super-middle weight. You say it was against bums? Bums don't become champions once at life like the 7-8 former champions he beat. Yes, there's more belts now adays but don't pretend its an easy task to win a belt!
Evans Ashira???? WTF. He should not have been allowed to fight for a belt two weight classes above normal. Froch was British and Commonweath Champion at the Time, Ashira was a Bum from 2 Divs below.
I don't think froch ever came close to matching calzaghe, and is not on his level. Froch has been in with good competition recently but people have a short memory when it comes to calzaghe he beat some good names over those 20 title defences, obviously there is some poor one's and he gets a lot of stick for that but eubank, reid, mitchell, woodhall, brewer, bika, lacy, kessler are good wins and were all reigning or former world champs, you not only have to consider the names but the performances. Apart from reid they were all above what people expected before the fight. Hopkins was still top p4p before and after his fight with calzaghe, and to be honest whether you thought he won or lost, calzaghe and taylor are the only fighters who have really competed with hopkins in over a decade.
From now on Froch should keep his mouth closed about Calzaghe if i was him ! ;)
He won't he'll just bring up the fact Kessler was a close fight and could have gone either way. He is already saying that we all judge fights differently and will see what we want to see.

Yup Calzaghe has officially owned Froch. Let's be honest Calzaghe had an easy time with the guy that dominated Froch last night.
Carl Froch is a bitch who had close fights against Pascal, and was losing against a Taylor who already was KTFO by Pavlik. Froch is a chump, he sucks and Calzaghe would have beat the blood out of him. Froch back-peddled against Kessler all night long. Bika probably would beat Froch, Froch is an ass fighter.
Can you seriously Justify World Title Fights with Evans Ashira and Manfreeeedo???
Please
Calzaghe will never fight froch if he came out of retirement. Calzaghe beat Kessler and Kessler beat Froch. So that tells you that Froch isnt in Calzaghes league. Calzaghe is Priemership and Froch is League one. Calzaghe a legend so froch has to shut his mouth now.
Hes probably so coked off his tits he hasnt even noticed.
Calzaghe ducked Froch and gave the public some Joke fights. Dont forget when Calzaghe could have faced Froch he chose Sakio Bika, The Mighty Evans Ashira, Peter " Lost to a Welterweight " Manfreeeeeeeeeedo. Then moved up when Frochy was his mandatory to fight a couple of Pensioners.
Froch fights for Pride and avoids No-One Calz spent his whole Career fighting Bums, Blown up light Middles and Old Men.
BTW he lost to Robin Reid IMO. Froch KOd Reid.????????????
Calzaghe Career apart from a handfull of fights is an insult to fans buying tickets.
