Comments Thread For: Cleverly: Calzaghe Would Have Boxed Froch's Head Off!

[Chris Collins]

DIRRELL is a coward and has been robbed in Notthingam;WARD played with Froch;Kessler younger and undeafeted took a beating from Joe Calzaghe but beat and went life and death with Froch;Taylor has been destroyed by a middleweight called AA...please;Cleverly is a skilled boxer with stamina and chin,no power but that isn't essential. Froch doesn't want nothing from Clev after talked with Bellew and he is still ducking Adonis Stevenson,everybody saw why FROCH fough a shot injuried not active KESSLER and not his mandatory ADONIS STEVENSON!!!

Like I said they were all better than cleverly. Cleverly should fight world class opponents in his own weight class instead of calling out fighters in lower weight class, it's a bit pathetic really. Actually he should re match a fighter more his level, tony bellew.

As for Froch fighting kessler instead of stevenson, well froch has always wanted to avenge his defeat against kessler and that fight also makes a better fight for the fans and financially and kessler's considered third best supermiddle weight behind froch. Stevenson was a nobody. Bit of a no brainer who to fight really isn't it.
Also kessler is still the better proven supermiddle weight ahead of stevenson IMO.

It's hilarious that Cleverly gets **** for things he has no control over.

like his mouth. amen to tourettes.

none ducks clev, they just don't know who he is, probs think he is a golfer.

That is a correct statement, Zaghe would've boxed circles around froch so fast it wouldn't e funny

always 'would have' with joe calzaghe, never 'did'

always 'would have' with joe calzaghe, never 'did'

Not always, as Eubank, Lacy, Bika, Kessler, Hopkins and Jones Jr. will attest.

A fight with Froch however is very difficult to judge, I couldn't make the call either way.

dirrell robbed the fans of a decent fight that i agree with.

But the fight was a clear froch victory, he outlanded dirrell, as the punch stats show. He busted dirrells face up, as the video evidence shows, all the press row and punditas scored it to froch, why???because he won the fight.

Dirrells best round was the round he rightfully got docked a ppint for, so his best round was a draw.

Move on.

....Cleverly still clearly trying to bait/goad Froch into a crack at his WBO LHW bauble at the eleventh hour rather than fight Groves, Ward or Kessler.

Don't think it will work because Groves brings London money, Carl will feel he's got Kessler's number and the Ward fight is far, far more important in terms of legacy and unfinished business.

Clumsy, schoolboy-level PR from a guy who needs to do some real talking in the ring and not tag onto a great fight that never happened.

Note to Warren Press Office; this stuff does not work.

I would amend that to just Reid and Kessler, the only two good prime challengers he fought. Lacy and Bika were spirited enough and not bad opponents but very 1-D, Eubank wasn't interested in winning and old Hopkins and jones were hardly what they were when peak.


I would give young Calzaghe the nod over very young Froch in Wales (the only place joe would fight him) but I think Joe knew that older experienced Froch might well have stopped him when he was 35, hence why he never offered older Froch the fight he had once offered to the young green froch.
