    Let's hope that Froch makes his future opponents sign a contract with a "if I pull out you get to **** my wife, sister and mother" clause.

    It's his only hope.
    That is a great clause for a great cause.

      Froch will now face unbeaten Pole

      Carl Froch's opponent on Saturday's Junior Witter bill in Nottingham has changed yet again.

      Froch, the WBC's top-ranked challenger in the super-middleweight division, was initially due to fight Dennis Inkin.

      But the Russian pulled out twice, and replacement Rubin Williams has now told promoters Hennessy Sports he is unable to leave the US for personal reasons.

      Froch, 30, will instead face unbeaten Pole Albert Rybacki (15 wins, eight by knock-outs) in a 12-round contest.

      Hennessy Sports said in a statement: "Rybacki was preparing for a fight and jumped at the opportunity. He has already signed contracts."

      Froch said: "It's always difficult to fight an unbeaten fighter as he doesn't know how to lose.

      "Obviously, he will put everything on line as he could gatecrash the world title, but I'm in prime condition and looking forward to the fight."

      Froch's bout against Rybacki is the main support for WBC light-welterweight champion Witter's defence against American Timothy Bradley.

        CARL FROCH TALKS WAY too much,for someone whose biggest win by far was a 37 year old ROBIN REID who had him hurt.As for CALZAGHE WHY should he fight FROCH,there are MUCH bigger money fights where JOE would actually get credit for winning as oppose to a fighter no one has ever heard of with 17 cream puffs for a resume.Why was CALZAGHE fighting another domestic fighter instead of someone with a proven record like a ROY JONES or a PAVLIK or a WINKY WRIGHT in other words lb for lb level fighters is exactly what people will say AND they would have a point.FROCH, listen you want respect T.V DATES,MONEY then forget calling out CALZAGHE in every interview,make your own name the way JOE did,You talk about CALZAGHE not taking the risk in fighting you,but what risks have you taken.I remember JOE fighting LACY when noone and I mean no one wanted to fight him,then fighting ANOTHER UNDEFEATED KO SPECIALIST IN MIKKEL KESSLER.I hear FROCH talk about how he would ko KESSLER if they fought but I actually never heard him say he wants that fight.FROCH THE CROCK IS MY NEW NICKNAME FOR COWARDLY CARL.

          In what round? I don't remember that at all.

          What does money have to do with it? You might be a Calzaghe fan, but you aren't his business manager. Froch has a claim to a shot at Calzaghe because he has earned the position of mandatory challenger. Roy Jones hasn't done this. Winky hasn't done this. Pavlik doesn't seem to want to fight Calzaghe.

          I like Calzaghe, but the big wins came late in his career, when he was older than Froch is now. It's not really a fair comparison in my opinion.

          Cowardly? Who has he ever ducked? No one. Who does he want to fight? The best. Nothing cowardly there.

          By the way I like the way that your post is written as if addressed to Carl Froch. Because he's obviously gonna come and read it, and all those SENTENCES IN CAPITALS LETTERS are certain to influence his future actions.

              He still beat Brewer, Mitchell, Veit, Reid, Woodhall and Eubank before he was 30.
