Comments Thread For: Carl Froch Fires Back at "Grumpy" Joe Calzaghe

[ChopperRead]

even tho joe did tell the truth froch does cry about this and that sounds to me joes itching along the lines of a come back feels hes out of the lime light would be great to see joe come back beat the winner of the super 6 like cause the guy aint realy had the props for what his career deserved 10 year champ beat all time legends jones hopkins a PRIME kessler the kids fell a bit since the joe beating he took same with lacy joe would easy beat all the super 6 fighters no problem

Calzaghe obviously misses the limelight. I'd be surprised if he stays retired.
He wants people talking about him. I'd like to see him fight Frochy. Froch is a tough SOB who will I think finish Kessler's career. Kessler is just waiting for someone to retire him -- his head isn't in the game any longer.

Personally i always thought Froch had Joe's number on account of how Calzaghe is wide open to the right hand. I dont think Froch would let him off the hook once he had him shook up and I could see Calzaghe being waved off, despite possibly winning at the time. Plus i think Froch would worry Calzaghe all the way until the first bell rung, get inside his head. The cobra is a rangy, awkward, weird opponent to fight - plus he can punch, take a shot and goes like a train for 12 rounds.

My 2 cents obviously.

froch: take your leotard and bore off

LOL....Carl handles Joe in terms of trash talk. It'd be the other round in the ring but that was pretty funny.

Joe is in over his head in a war of words with Froch. Froch is a master of sarcasm and irony -- he always says stuff with a gleam in his eye. Too bad more boxers aren't as entertaining in interviews as the Cobra.

I would recommend that people check out the entire response by Froch over
at fightlive.com. Very funny stuff. Froch is the best interview in boxing right now.

He sarcastically mocks Calzaghe's missing the spotlight and muses about the
fleeting nature of fame and celebrity:

"At the end of the day Joe Calzaghe is yesterday’s news and today’s fish and chip wrappers. It’s sad but true and one day we’ll all be the same– and that’s why I put no value on fame nor the sad people who chase it with every last breath like him. I can only imagine he’ll be starring in Bingo adverts next."

No matter what you think of Froch as a boxer, he's a very funny man,
and he mocks Calzaghe perfectly in this interview.

I wish I could give Froch some green K...

I find this hard to say, but I completely agree with Foch's statement here.
My take, Calzaghe is not just grumpy, but a grumpy ***** with an itch to come back.
I can bet all the money I have that within the next six months jerk-off is Unretiring!

I knew we wouldnt have to wait long for a response from Froch.

I used to really like Froch butlately i've gone off him. I wouldnt be to bothered if Kessler whooped him
