Comments Thread For: Calzaghe: Does Froch Take Golovkin Risk? I Doubt It.

I found it ***ing hilarious.



Hand problems have a lot to do with boxing though, Dan. Hands are quite important in sport where you use your hands to compete and if you're constantly breaking them, then it's time to retire.



Froch doesn't know if he can get himself motivated for Golovkin but Calzaghe was supposed to come out of retirement and get up for "Fad" Chad Dawson

he got up for roy jones jr even though calzaghe himself said he was shot so why wouldn't he get up for an undefeated fighter who was ranked #1?

maybe fight those guys instead of fighting shot jones jr?

Yeah...turn down ten million to fight those guys for less. End your career making less money to please internet fans

Golovkin is so desperate to get paid that he wants to dig up Oscar's corpse.

Ok. Doesn't change the fact it was embarrassing.

Hand problems are part and parcel of Boxing. Your hands aren't designed to punch things on a daily basis hence why so many fighters have hand problems.

He had hand problems for the vast majority of his career.

None of this changes the fact he was a young 37.

Fad Chad Dawson would have been his best win though.

Because Roy Jones Jr earned him ten million in Madison Square Garden I should think.

I don't think he even knew who Chad Dawson was when Kellerman asked him at the end. Neither did most of the viewing public.

Would it? Total irrelevance. Like I said, no one is going to get out of bed and get up for a fight with a man who has about 4 fans having just earned 10m

Can you stop talking about Calzaghe like he was some kind of megastar?

American fans hated his paddy cake style of boxing, His ratings on tv ******, his ppv numbers with Roy ******.

99% of his opponents were no name bums, and sadly that's nit even exaggerating.

well that amount seems impossible but it must have been from uk revenue since it ppv bombed here which means he could have made a lot fighting kelly pavlik who was an actual star and not a star 10 years before calzaghe fought him. unless you are saying uk fans are ****** and don't know boxing and actually wanted to see him beat up a corpse instead of a prime fighter.

Yeah probably. What win would be better?

Kind of relevant.

Don't believe I ever said that.

But he earned a load of money for Jones and had already decided to retire before that fight. Unless there was some huge fight out there for him, then why would he come back?

Chad Dawson was not a huge fight.

Kelly Pavlik wasn't a star. He was a star in Oregan or wherever the hell he was from. It wouldn't have even been a PPV fight.

Yeah probably. What win would be better?

Kind of relevant.

That's your opinion and it's kinda irrelevant to a boxer if some online fans think that Fad Chad Dawson would be his best win. Chad hasn't exactly gone on to show that to be the case, has he?

The motivation for a fighter to come back out of retirement is money to feed their family not whether some nerds think that some flavour of the week fighter would be his "best win".

Hence....irrelevant.
