Comments Thread For: Froch Details Why DeGale Makes No Sense, Chavez Does

[djcomplex]

Froch will never be regarded higher than Calzaghe.

oh come on man....

he was a undefeated slapper who held the wbo title...please dont forget the wbo title never ment **** until recent years...he won a disputed win over b hop and beat a shot jones

froch has taken on the better competition and beat the better opponents

so please stop the bs

[Funky_Monk]

I really don't want to see Froch vs Chavez if it happens I'll be putting a bundle on Froch to win. It's an easy fight for him.

We know why Chavez makes more sense than DeGale; He provides a good paycheck and he'll be much easier to beat.

I agree with Froch and I'm happy if Degale-Froch doesn't happen cuz A) Degale is one of my favorite fighters 2) I don't want Froch to lose at this point cuz it will ruin his legacy and want him to be regarded higher than Calzaghe.

However, it is the same when Froch was WBC mandatory for Calzaghe's titles and he decided not to bother with an up and comer and pursue more lucrative ventures. Same thing, at least now he realizes that, hopefully.

Froch should be held in higher regard than Cazlaghe regardless.

And Froch already fought his mandatory in Groves.

The Groves-Froch situation was identical to the Calzaghe-Froch situation the only difference is Froch fought his mandatory.

I have no problem with Froch going for the money and the bigger match up because you know why...


HE EARNED THAT RIGHT! Froch has traveled across the Global to come fight Jermaine Taylor and Andre Ward, the man spent most of his career fighting the very best of the best. Also took on a young Lion twice in Groves and beat him Twice, the 2nd Time knocking him out and possibly ruining the kid based on what we seen of him on Saturday.

So Froch with all due respect have every right to go for the MONEY especially with his career coming to an end. Chavez Jr In Vegas is the Bigger Fight and it is also a excellent fight stylistically. Both have Iron Chins! I look forward to seeing how Froch Deals with that Relentless Pressure from Chavez Jr and Chavez Jr is a tough fighter inside

I always said here that Froch is smart and well-spoken... Some disagreed...
... Froch will become a great commentator for Sky Sports -- the guy is very articulated and truthful...

I want to see Froch beat the snot out of Junior. But on the other hand I don't want to see the fight. Simply because Junior was an overrated middleweight that rode his fathers coattails. Therefore in my opinion he doesn't deserve a shot at another title. And since he is a lazy bum he doesn't deserve another big payday.

There'll always be "someone else" Froch supposedly needs to fight before he hangs 'em up. It's always been that way.

Right now it's Degale, or Golovkin. If he fought one of those for a few million, and won, then there'd be Dirrell's lttle brother he "needs to fight" or he's a duck for life. Or, "hot 160-75 pounder here" is the guy he needs to fight to prove he's not a duck, and seal hs legacy!

No - Froch has done all and MORE any boxer should have done in their career to prove and justify themselves. Ever since the Pascal fight back in what? 2008? He's fought nothing but top 10/world class boxers (wth the lone exception of Yusak Mack). Just look at this resume: Pascal, Taylor, Abraham, Dirrell, Kessler x2, Mack, Bute, Groves x2, Johnson (before he was completely done - and was still a legit top 10 threat), and of course Ward. He went 10-2 during this murderer's row!


He deserves to have this one "ME" fight. And it's not even like he's wanting to fight a faded big name - A motvated, and in-shape Chavez, not weight-drained, is a very big puncher, wth an extremely underrated inside, and mid-range technique. He has a nice straight right hand from outsde-midrange, that he works his way insde with to land his HUGE left hook to the head and body...


ANd it's a legitimately exciting fight against two primed, dangerous, action-fighters!

[Rostov Papa]

Oh, and DEFAIL has done absolute ****E to earn a Froch fight? SERIOUSLY?

LOL - what has the guy done except get BEAT by Groves! Hahaha... All that **** he talks like he's some worthy challenger, and this clown couldn't even get past Froch victim, GROVES!

REMATCH GROVES, BEAT GROVES, and THEN you'll at least have a legitimate claim to call for the fight...

Untl then, DEFAIL, you're just "the ugly boy" clown who is GROVES'S SON! LOL, HE"S HIS KID!

Froch should be held in higher regard than Cazlaghe regardless.

And Froch already fought his mandatory in Groves.

The Groves-Froch situation was identical to the Calzaghe-Froch situation the only difference is Froch fought his mandatory.

In no way should Froch be held in higher regard than Calzaghe! Calzaghe was undefeated with wins over Hopkins, a shot Jones, a prime Lacy, a prime Bika, Eubank and a prime Kessler. Froch on the other hand was beaten by a past his best Kessler as well as Ward and has been outboxed on numerous occasions (Taylor and Groves before they gassed, as well as Dirrell).

Froch may have a better 'resume' as a result of the Super Six but not once has he been the number one in his division, as opposed to Calzaghe who was a 2-weight lineal champion. Calzaghe may have struggled to fight the top Americans in their prime due to being high risk/low reward but there's only one way a fight between Froch and Calzaghe is going.
