Opinions on Calzaghe-Froch?

[Chase8400]

Sure that is your opinion but it is meaningless in relation to this topic IMO..

Meaningless? How is an in demand fight not have relevence over a fight that nobody wants to see again?

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.

Bernard is not worthy of another shot at Calzaghe. Especially over Dawson.
Hopkins was beaten way worse than the scorecards indicated. The fight was not close at all. Just because Hopkins somehow managed to drop Calzaghe in the first round and kept him from throwing 1000+ punches didn't mean he was close to winning the fight. He lost and saying he deserved a rematch is about the same as saying Jones deserves one.

Interesting fact: Jones landed more punches on Calzaghe than Hopkins did. 32 more to be exact. 31 more were power shots too.

Joe would and could fight on PPV. I personally wouldnt mind him fighting Johnson but the rest can just swim away. Froch wont have a look in, Dawson would be another **** fight, BHop Rematch? Dont see the point as Cal beat him once and would beat him again.

Johnson for me. But hey retire tomorrow and wouldnt that one bit. 37 getting on unbeaten and goes down as true legend in the sport.

Hokins was beaten way worse than the scorecards indicated. The fight was not close at all. Just because Hopkins somehow managed to drop Calzaghe in the first round and kept him from throwing 1000+ punches didn't mean he was close to winning the fight.

You are going to have a really hard time finding ppl who are going to agree with you on that.

Any who actually knew the scorecards i think 2 of the scorers by panels of tv and radio ex boxers etc had Hopkins winning. I think some of Bhop "nuthuggers" are trying to sway things.

ill try find the article of various panel scoring the fight.

God, I'm sick of hearing how Dawson doesn't deserve to step into a ring with that ATG Joe Calzaghe.

Dawson is more proven light-heavyweight than Calzaghe. He is widely agreed to be one of the best light-heavyweight in the world. Everyone agrees he would give Calzaghe the most competitive fight.

And yet, it's a no-goer because he doesn't bring the bucks to the table. FFS, like Calzaghe's last fight needs someone with the status of a De La Hoya. It's gonna sell regardless, so at least make the ****ing thing competitive.

Dawson is as well known to British fans as Lacy was. And Lacy is Calzaghe's career defining fight.

Everyone sounds like a ****ing Floyd fan nowadays, claiming their fighter won't fight this guy and that guy cos he doesn't bring enough money. And then they ***** when DLH fights the Pacquaios and Hattons of this world.

Dawson is not well known i dont think people know he exists. No joke. Lacy was a big name that was going to clean up the division when he appeared on the scene. There alway going to be " that up an comer fighter" that was Dawson (you say is) is.

So Froch doesnt deserve a fight with Calzaghe. What does he need to do???? Maybe go on the contender and loose to welterweight Alfonso Gomez. Calzaghe has made a career out of fighting blown up middles and old men.
I heard Calzaghe was considering a rematch with Evans Ashira but he needs 6 months to get up to the weight.

Calz was due to fight Brian Magee a couple of years back, what did he do to deserve a shot????? Froch destroyed him

Taylor was offered more money to fight Froch but took easy option in Lacy.

Bute has dodged Froch

Inkin has dodged Froch

Froch hits far harder than anyone Calzaghe has faced

Froch is a BEAST

Calzaghe will never fight Froch becaue he will Loose

FFS Joe has faught a guy who has lost to Frochs sparring partner

I will take notice when he beats a legitimate contender. Until then, he is unproven.

Note* I really want him to prove he is a world beater, I just don't see it in him to do so. He is too slow and predictable, in my opinion.

Froch would get smashed. Would be good for the americans to see Calzaghe KO Froch.
