Brits love domestic fights tho they are always big over there. Joe literally hid in England ducking the likes of glenn johnson on 3 or 4 different occasions which would easily given him those jones or hopkins fights a lot sooner. but he waited until they lost a step. One of the biggest cherry pickers in the sports history which is why when people talk about all time greats joe is never mentioned even tho he was undefeated.
- - There were injuries and Warren called the shots, not Joe. As soon as he was free, Joe came to America and the rest history.
OP gave a specific time when Joe was between the Popkins/Jones fights that weren't previously made because of idiotic obstacles boxing creates in every generation.
Froch was only relevant domestically then, not internationally and never in the class of Joe, Jones and Popkins, but he could hire U as his binman and gardener.

Froch was mandatory for Calzaghe's WBC title at Super Middleweight and Calzaghe vacated instead.
- - Gonna start at the beginning for Hambone since he's so timeline illiterate.
Joe won the WBC off Kessler in a great fight, but it was his last fight in the Isles and last one under Warren. Joe jumped the pond as a visiting interloper to fight longtime rivals, Popkins who paid Dibella a multimillion dollar civil settlement so as not to fight Joe years before, and Roy who was keen to fight Joe, but Warren controlled the shots then.
So, Hambone, please do tell us again how fighting two Hometown HOFers in big fights the public wanted to see makes Froch relevant to Joe. Joe ditched all his hard earned belts and promoter just for the opportunity. Most of the Brit public could've cared less about Froch then who was seen as a strong, face first fighter who was going to be thrashed when he stepped up.
Joe was calling the shots such that belts and mouthy little wannabees were irrelevant to Joe, period... .

What the fuck has that got to do with the fact the OP has no mention of any timelines, you moron?
Do you actually know what the letters OP stand for?
Mate, you said they weren't relevant at the same weight class at the same time. That's a lie, because they were.
I'm aware Calzaghe vacated for more lucrative fights, that's his prerogative.
But the fact of the matter is they were both relevant at the same weight class at the same time. That's just a fact of the matter.

- - U was the OP of the question I answered.
I now see U as intellectually stilted. At any point in time in Ring ratings, there are a half dozen "relevant" fighters in your misbegotten lingo that Froch ducked. See how that goes?
Probably not, but Joe didn't duck his mandatory Froch, he ditched all his belts to fight at LH were he became Ring #1 at both 168 and 174 until he retired, ie "Veni, vidi, vici."

OP means opening post mate, the first post of the thread. Save you from making the same mistake again.
Your post is barely coherent.
The fact of the matter is, Froch was mandatory for Calzaghe's WBC belt.
Therefore, relevant at the same weight class at the same time.
This isn't something that's debatable or up for discussion.
