Joe Calzaghe: "Someone Tell Carl Froch I've Retired"

[Ryn0]

STFU Joe! You are so chicken **** man! You are afraid to be beaten by your own countrymen! WTF!

Maybe he would if y'know Froch wasn't garbage....

[Deep Water]

As soon as the level of competition was raised ,slightly PASCAL, everyone saw FROCH's self proclaimed massive powwer as non existent.He was catching PASCAL clean but nothing was happening and i've seen PASCAL hurt and down before so its not like he's facing a fighter with a LIBRADE ANDRADE like chin.FROCH in my opinion would NOT HURT CALZAGHE and he's delusional if he truly believes he'd have JOE out in 6.FROCH always spins things anyway,first JOE is running from PAVLIK to fight an old man ,then when HOPKINS beats PAVLIK 7 months later,FROCH goes quiet.He said before the JONES/CALZAGHE fight that ROY would take a decision,after the fight the tune changes and he once again fought an old man ,as if FROCH didn't know ROYS' age when he predicted JONES over CALZAGHE.He hardly EVER mentions that CALZAGHE beat KESSLER ,but continually brings up CALZAGHE fighting MANFREDO.listen,in my opinion Bernard Hopkins,Mikkel Kessler,s**t I would even favor Sakio Bika over the totally unproven Froch.As for Joe never fighting Froch,Joe said it best when he was active"why?He doesn't draw 3000 IN HIS HOMETOWN'HBO isn't interested in Froch and the main reason is he hasn't beat a top ten fighter(before PASCAL)and when I win everyone will say JOE once again fighting nobodies.How many undefeated fighters are theyre who havn't fought anyone?TONS,what seperates Froch from them?NOTHING."

-- spot on dwidsid3d, spot on!

Carl Froch is such a fail, just trying to make his name off of Joe's legacy.

Kind of like Calslappy did with Hopkins and Jones when they were fossils...

[IMDAZED]

Very classy comments from Calzaghe.

[infamous1486]

someone tell joe that he's a ****** and that he has fought a bunch of nobodies, overatted fighters, and fighter way past their prime in his career

[FalconBalla2]

I never agree with Joe but this time he is very much right... and I agree it was very classy of him... He is trying to suggest to the younger countryman that maybe soon enough he will be the new UK hero if only he focuses on his job at hand. And maybe even suggesting himself that HE is a fan of Carl Froch. All I know is that I think that Froch is going to dissappoint his fans for not concentrating. I think he is in with a lion on this one with Jermain Taylor. Jermain has great experience and it will show I think... Froch needs to shut up or he might be the next Junior Witter....

[Spacey1991]

Froch needs to shut the **** up and worry about his own career, he is beginning to piss me off and many other Boxing fans.

I beg to differ, Hopkins is fighting better than he's ever fought so you cant take that away from Joe.

I'll grant you Roy, but Calzaghe was only 2 years younger so he was no spring chicken himself.

Spoken like a person who hasn't watch the executioner in his prime. I'm sorry but the version of Hops who fought Glen Johnson, hell even Tito, is better than this one. It's scary.

I know Hops looked great in the Pav fight but he looked like an old man against Winky and Calzaghe. Why? Because those two put pressure on him. I was watching Hopkins-Taylor I the other night and Roy Jones made a great comment. he said, "When you get an old guy in the ring you've got to be active, you've got to work. You can't sit back and let him think cuz there's no way you're going to win." Well that's what Pavlik did--but best believe the next active fighter Hopkins fights is gonna make him look bad. Not bad like he sucks but bad like he's old.

[King Koopa]

Calzaghe shouldn't worry bout Froch...Taylor's gonna take care of that
