Carl Froch: "I Thought Bernard Hopkins Beat Joe Calzaghe"

[black.ink]

I believe Calzaghe only won on workrate. Hopkins was clearly more accurate with his shots, but let himself down in not applying himself to his own game. Hopkins deserves a rematch.

Froch on the other hand, needs to leave Joe alone and make his own career worthwhile. He'll beat Pascal, but Taylor is likely to be his next elite opponent after a meaningless mandatory. This fight will make or break Froch.

Froch just looks like a sad whining ***** looking for as much attention and exposure he can get by using Calzaghe,

Make a name for yourself. He won't as he the running of the mouth often means people can't do it other ways,

[Kris Silver]

If he thought Hopkins won so much, why not say it after the fight not several months down the line just before his next fight?

Perhaps because your exaggerating and trying to get the spot light from him at a key time.

I'm struggling with Froch. I half want to see him succeed. The **** talking I can tolerate but sometimes it's more un-necessary, dis-respectful and just arrogant than others, even Haye.

He doesn't deserve a shot at Calzaghe no matter how much he moans about it. Go and fight some of the elites, or even top ish guys and win then ok. But your unlikely to do so, and would be likely to lose to Kessler or Taylor for one.

He deserves a loss, he's too big for his boots and skill level.

Froch is like a broken fuicking record. That jabron should relise that theres no way in hell hell any top level fighter is going to get in with him untill he starts beating the top contenders impressivly. Money talks in boxing, Froch does not bring it!

[ATFsven]

Calzaghe is a fraud. Hopkins took the guy to school. .

No he didnt.

[The Hammer]

I thought Carl Froch beat nobody except a totally shot Robin Reid. And even though it took Jeff Lacy longer to do it, Jeff Lacy's knock out looked far superior to Carls.

Carl Froch would be easily schooled by either Hopkins or Calzaghe.

He's not on their level, so he should shut his mouth.

Joe clearly won the fight with Hopkins, winning 8 of the last 9 rounds: 115-112.

Compubox is not reliable, especially with a fighter like Calzaghe who throws a lot of punches and has fast hands.

Here is a good article on compubox by Scott9945: http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/blog.php?b=55

Exactly. If anyone wants to test the unreliability of compubox just watch a round of Hopkins-Calzaghe in slow motion and count the punches yourself. The numbers were WAY off.

Unbeaten Nottingham super middleweight Carl "The Cobra" Froch has once again taken a few shots at his UK rival, Joe Calzaghe. Giving his opinions on the upcoming clash between Calzaghe and Roy Jones Jr, he gives Jones a very strong shot to win. Froch says that if Jones has at least 50% of what he used to have during his prime, Calzaghe will be in for a rough night. Froch challenges for the vacant WBC super middleweight title in December against Jean Pascal. [details]

Well Carl, so did Vernon, Mike Tyson, David Haye said it could have gone either way, so did alot of experts...Only idiotz think it was a clear win for Calzaghe

But, you wouldn't be counting Joe's punches because of your love for Hopkins, right?
