Comments Thread For: Joe Calzaghe: Froch Was Fortunate, Fight Groves Again

[yoz]

Calzaghe would've destroyed Froch lmfao

This bum thinks he has 3 fights left in him, when it was obvious to anyone that he was losing that Groves fight.

Of course. H2H Joe wins.

Resume:Resume, Carl>Joe

In fairness, nobody whupped up on him like Groves did Froch.

You have to do it for 12 rounds though. You could argue that Groves got lucky that the ref stopped the fight. Groves didn't take excessive damage, became a crowd favourite and put himself in line for another mega pay day.

Here we go again!

******* Joe is at it again. If he has no interest in fighting, then he should keep his mouth shut. He doesn't practice what he preaches. Why didn't he give Bhop a rematch after the split decision win?....I had Bhop winning 8 of the 12 rounds after watching the fight closely again. Why didn't he act like a true champion and accept the challenge from Glen Johnson when Johnson was a formidable opponent? JC needs to enjoy his retirement with his protected undefeated record and keep quiet. He was way overhyped.

Calzaghe never gave Robin Reid a rematch even though plenty thought Reid beat Joe.

For Froch to live up to his own words he would have to fight Groves again. But damn, did you guys see the combination in the 6th or 8th?! I think Froch gets hit clean by 9 punches in a row, I don't understand how he was still standing.

Froch said Groves's punches didn't have the same pop on them after Round 5, he said he could feel Groves tiring. You're right though, R.6 looked ridiculous in terms of the punches he was taking.

Not at all. Groves was still throwing and deserved to at the very least get a standing 8 count. If the ref wasn't bias he would have stepped in when Froch was dumped in the first round. He was way more hurt than Groves was.
