Opinions on Calzaghe-Froch?

[The Gully Gad]

Never heard Joe mention Froch..
Doubt he would even consider fighting him...

I kinda hope Froch wins but I seriously doubt Froch beats Pascal. He is looking past him while he has a very live dog in his fence right now. I would be willing te bet Froch loses this one.

It's possible, but I feel Froch will beat Pascal. If you wanna put a few K on it, I'm up for it.

The thing is Calzaghe was a SMW for like 15 years, champion for 11 and is generally known as the SMW king. Froch is another whom is one of the top 3ish (varies on person) SMW whom will be a force in it in the future, possibly number one. To have a win over a future guy like that will strengthen his legacy as the absolute SMW king, 10 years down the line. Froch has been calling out Calzaghe for years as a SMW so may he feel more compelled to take that fight based on that, rather then yet another big super future American guy.

It's very different for Dawson, it's a different kind of win and meaning. I do agree all in all though, probably more meaningful in the boxing world. But is it more meaningful to the UK fans, more of whom know Froch, than Dawson? That's what Joe wants now, to reward and kinda make a statement to the UK fans. But it's ******** on how much your going to gain from a win, based on how well that guy will do later on. There's no guarantee's and you can't blame Calzaghe for getting pissed being called to face the latest well hyped American. He's beaten more of them, than anyone.

I definitely agree Dawson is more deserving. But hey, both are prime young guys. You don't see quite such a fuss about other match ups not coming off, or choices, not even ODL vs Pac at times.

Calzaghe would Lacy Froch.

No way he deserves a shot before Chad Dawson. If Calzaghe fights anybody in SMW or LHW, it will have to be Chad Dawson. Period.

>Calzaghe fighting anyone else would continue the fraud that has been his whole career.

I would accept a BHop rematch also given that their fight was a disputed decision.

Dawson is a bigger name than Froch and he still don't bring enough to the table. This **** aint happening.

Dawson is unknown in the UK. Froch is hardly a big name but I think more people would be willing to pay for a Calzaghe-Froch fight than Calzaghe-Dawson. I'm talking UK only here, which is where the fight would be. Joe ain't going to the USA if he fights again.

Yea, I'll do 5k if ya want. Sign and I'm in. I just think Froch is a little rough at this point and will find Pascal a little hard to hit in this step-up fight.

Note* I hope Froch wins because I want to become a fan. I think he is good for boxing.

I don't feel like that rematch is in demand at all. The Calzaghe win was way more decisive than most think and the fight was awful to watch. Nothing leads me to beleive Hopkins will do any better in a rematch and there is no point in one, in my opinion.

Sure that is your opinion but it is meaningless in relation to this topic IMO. I am talking about the relative worthiness of opponents, not how commercially attractive a potential fight may be. I think you would have a hard time that Bernard isn't worthy of another shot.

Does Calzaghe just want a PPV opponent? Has he still got a contract with Setanta

I mean that is why this would make sense over here if they would market as a Battle of Britain.

But even then, surely Hopkins still makes more sense, as some Americans I guess would pay for that.

Calzaghe will want another money fight, it's human nature. If I was him I'd look at Hatton's wedge and think WTF, but I'm better than him?

Yeah, I would be thinking this as well if I was in Joe's position.
