    Carl Froch? What a waste of time that would be.

      Seriously, nobody with a brain thinks that Johnson lost to Dawson.

        I wouldn't even call it huge for British boxing.

          Not only is froch trash, but he attacked Calzaghe for fighting Roy. Froch acted like he could beat that version of roy jones jr... I don't mean to disrespect boxers, but I don't like carl froch's attitude. And he not deserving of a fight with Calzaghe, if Calzaghe fights froch. He is a sell out, and I probably won't even watch the fight because I could care less. He'd probably end up stopping or whooping froch's ass for 12 rounds.

            undefeated because he hasn't fought anybody yet. LOL you say Froch will have a title then say Taylor has no wins over 160 when he fights before Carl. Plus Taylor has 2 wins over Hopkins. Johnson was supposed to fight Calzaghe 2-3 times so he really owes it to him. A Froch win will add nothing to his resume because he is nowhere near being the best SMW and fuels critics of Calzaghe.

              Chad wants another past-prime opponent in Calzaghe.

              Perhaps he should fight someone closer to his own age like Tavoris Cloud or Adrian Diaconu?

              Calzaghe has slowed down since the Lacy fight, and he cannot punch like he did against Mitchell and Veit, but he'd still defeat Dawson.

                Johnson is coming off a loss, Taylor is coming off two a win over Lacy means little at this stage in Lacy's career, Froch is a rubbish fighter, Dawson is the only one I want to see against Calzaghe.

                I really don't want to sit through 12 rounds of Calzaghe-Hopkins again.

                    Yea, ****** fight. I mean I didn't even know who Froch was until a few months back and from what I've seen it's poor.
                    Froch has a TERRIBLE defense, good power, average handspeed and his chin is stuck in the air. I really think IF Joe carries on it HAS to be against Dawson (maybe Hopkins but I really don't want to sit through 12 rounds of that fight again)

                      Apparently, there a a lot of people with no brains, then. I laugh at people that say that **** was a robbery, like it was ****ing RJJ in the 88 Olympics. It was a close fight. People giving the nod to Johnson, I understand. Robbery? Please....
