WAR Calzaghe!!!!

[wazaa.]

Joe Calzaghe is the definition of a coward.

I thought by now it was a known fact that Froch was just saying that to get his name known and he actually turned down an offer to fight :/

What is well known is that Froch doesn't turn down big fights. That's stone cold truth.

Back when wbo champ Joe was a young nobody, in his way of picking weaklings, he offered kid Froch a fight, yes, Froch turned him down being very green and beatable. As soon as Froch became a fringe contender, Calzaghe conveniently ignored him completely and vacated titles to run away, in much the way that Froch hasn't in the slightest ignored a unified title defence against Groves.

Making your post not just wrong, but wrong on so many levels.

I can almost 100% guarantee that you didn't know who Carl Froch was back then. Typical revisionist history.

how can you guarantee whats in someone else head? Are you Charles Xavier?

typical BS post.

So? Tszyu only had 4 KO's in his career the rest were TKO's, RTD's, etc. Does that mean Tzsyu's power was overrated?

Sure Calzaghe was obviously more a boxer than a puncher, but he did have decent pop.

watch the videos and then rethink your post.

No Joe wasn't completely toothless, but for world level he was relatively featherfisted, needing the full 12 rounds to ruin Lacys and shot Roy's faces without stoppage.

Still this is a Joe appreciation thread so let me add that was a fine performance against Jeff. Without a doubt a HOFer, next to Sven, strangely enough.

He's still the most entertaining fighter I've ever seen. Incredible workrate and constantly going forward. I don't see why some people get so caught up in defending him but I also don't get why some have such a hardon for trashing the guy. Speculating for the sake of conversation is normal but some internet guys really have a deep, inexplicable hatred for the man. Bizarre.

He was no joke, I have respect for his skills. While he didn't necessarily have any kind of tremendous power, he has solid wins over some real good fighters.

Because most of the people that try to claim he ducked Carl Froch are Yanks who didn't even know who Froch was at the time. I saw one try to claim he ducked Gerald McClellan
