Calzaghe: "Froch has not matched my legacy and doesn't have ability to go to the US"

[SnakeVen0m]

I hate Calzaghe so much, I hope he starts doing coke again.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA quotes like these are why I keep coming back to NSB every day

[MBE]

only thing cokezaghe is doing anytime soon are these pros in the picture with him.

Listen I love Carl Froch,but Joey Zags is right.

Their legacy's and resumes and not even close. Froch is really really good,but Joey is a top 20 ATG. He brutally beat 2 legends in their prime on their own turf in Roy Jones Jr and B-Hop.

H2H Joe mauls Froch and knocks him out cold with a flurry of punches.

Two points you bring up that I find laughable!

1. Joe Calzaghe being a "top 20 ATG", that statement alone should get you banned for life from watching boxing! I suppose you also feel Floyd is TBE also!?

2. Joe "brutally" beating RJJ and B-Hop?? Joe got dropped and struggled during the first half of the fight against the ghost of the shell of the husk of Roy Jones.

He won a close, some feel controversial decision against Hopkins, a man who is known to struggle against athletic and quick fighters, which joe prided himself on being.. So I'd hardly call those two fights brutal beatings!

Well of course one of those defences was against a prime undefeated Mikkel Kessler who he completely outclassed.

I love Froch and he's certainly faced an incredible string of opposition whereas the SMW divsion was pretty bare in Calzaghe's prime.

But Froch's 2 close fights with an older Kessler don't do him any favours when people start making comparisons to Calzaghe.

Yep, Froch should have just stayed at home and padded out his record and only fought overseas when the demand was really there

Froch is always in a close fight and tends to makes things a war, hence why he is such a popular fighter.

I don't know where you got that from my post.

And are we talking about popularity of who is better. You seem to be confusing the two

Once again Joe had a chance at the time to set the record straight but instead he opted to escape into retirement and not face Froch or rematch Hopkins. He wanted to leave question marks and doubt. Instead he prefers to run his mouth.

Froch Resume>Joe Calzaghe Resume

Most don't even talk Calzaghe anymore besides a VERY FEW of his fans who swear by him and think he is the greatest ever which is a bit laughable

Froch took on a young talented challenger in Groves while Calzaghe AVOIDED THEM, Chad Dawson being one of them.

Why would he face Froch in 2008? People need to stop revising history. Calzaghe just made 10m from his fight with Jones but he was supposed to come out of retirement to fight Froch for a million or so. Ok then.

[frosty-g]

Joe needs to STFU.

Jealous Froch sells far more tickets and has had way more big fights.

Evans Ashira indeed.

Jealous idiot with the most padded record in boxing history.

Froch is way more popular than Calzaghe ever was. He couldn't sell out a Studium in his own Town.

GO AWAY AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH. MUPPET

Well he did have 50k in a stadium in Cardiff actually, almost all the fans were his given the opponent was Danish
How many Nottingham fans were actually at Wembley last week? Not half as many as there were Londoners I can tell you that given I was there

Why would he? Why wouldn't he? Froch was calling him out. Incessantly. Froch was a worthy challenge. Clearly. For some people that's all the provocation needed. You're talking about money. Why didn't he rematch Hopkins then? That would have been a big money fight and Bernard was willing to do it in the UK.

No need for excuses, bro.
