    Joe beat 2 ATG's after moving up in weight and fighting in America. One ATG is still setting records with every single fight. Froch got his ass handed to him both times he fought in America....and he refused a rematch on both occasions. Froch keeps getting help from the ref to win his high profile fights.
    What's this ****?

    Froch has fought in America 3 times.

    Against Ward, Taylor and Johnson.

    He beat Johnson clearly, knocked out Taylor and lost to Ward.

        Check the dates. Who had Froch fought before Calzaghe fought Kessler and Hopkins?

        It's a shame, but Froch needs to take a lot of the blame for that. He didn't step up to world class until his 30s. Calzaghe had bigger fish to fry. The only reason Froch fought Groves is because he didn't.
        Erm, yes they did.

        Froch was mandatory for Calzaghe's title and Froch was trying very hard to get that fight and Calzaghe turned it down.

          That Calzaghe beats the brakes off of Froch are you kidding me?

              Who had Groves fought before Froch? Froch was calling Calzaghe out for years and it would have been a big fight.

                When was Froch ever a mandatory?

                If Calzaghe had turned down Hopkins to fight the then unproven Froch he'd have been even more pilloried on here than already is.

                  Calzaghe got dropped by shot to **** Jones and old man Hopkins. Froch beats the **** out of slappy.

                    Ward and Froch are both afraid to move up. Kovalev and Stevenson would wreck the 168 scrubs.

                      what's with the insult because i believe strongly in my religion. that was not called for.

                      i never meant to bring insult to UK boxing. it's just how i feel. i apologize again.
