calzaghe to carl froch

[daggum]

just been on skysports and seen what calzaghe had to say about carl froch and i totaly agree with everything he said, froch would be no match for him, he struggled to keep up with taylors pace with no guards, but against calzaghe he would set the pace to high for froch to cope with, froch wuldnt be able t throw them last round haymakers (if he made it to the last round.)

Calzaghe is right when he says "To be honest it would be frightening what I could do to him if we fought, he doesn't seem to realise that holding your hands up and defending yourself is a pretty vital part of boxing."

What do other people think should carl froch stop trying to call calzaghe out of retirement?

i think so as 1. calzaghe would destroy him
2. carl froch is a nobody trying to get fame quick by fighting the "greats"

didnt calzaghe do the exact same thing? 1 guy was completely shot and the other got robbed.

also calling calzaghe a "great" is an insult to great people around the world.

Well personally I'd like to see him stay retired. Too often champions makes ill-advised comebacks and Joe is 37.

What is the general feeling in Britain? Will he make a comeback?

nah dont think so bat calzaghe was going on about retiring for a long time and hes not going to come out of retirement just because of froch.

expect to see joe staying retired.

calzaghe making up lies again? pretending he offered fights to people who were unknown at the time really makes him look even more pathetic.

He is looking for a comeback. I know he's been rumoured to be tring to get a fight with Zsolt Erdei. Beating the lineal champ would be a huge accomplishment and do wonders for his legacy. Just ask the Floydstans.

I hope so. His hands are pretty ****** up as well aren't they?

There is rumours going around he is trying to get Kessler to sign to his promoting company so personally I feel he is happy to be retired and become a good promoter.

Froch would be sick though if Calzaghe promoted Kessler in a fight agaisnt him and won!!

Kessler commented on that and said something like he was flattered (bad sound on the feature).

hahahaha good one. that would be like fighting a mirror. if only sven ottke could show up and fight the winner. the triangle of irrelevance would be complete.

If Calz comes out of retirement it better not be against this one-dimensional ****. It better be someone with talent like Williams or Dawson. But I have a feeling Calz is staying retired, I wish he came out because I personally enjoy his fights. I wouldn't mind him destroying Froch, but its not really a test at all.

u wouldnt mind him destroying froch lol he made a big impact on america....something tht calzaghe failed to do

[MELLY-MEL...]

joe is correct. froch will get humilliated by calzaghe.

i would say calzaghe made a big impact in a negative way. he nearly killed boxing!

I don’t blame Froch for wanting to fight Calzaghe, as it probably would be the most financially advantageous fight he could get at this time. However, I think Calzaghe is serious about his retirement and won’t ever be back in the ring. So while right now I understand, if he is still trying a few months from now it would be embarrassing. At some point you got to create your own legacy and make people want to fight you. For the record, I think Froch will in fact be smart enough to move on.
