Nobody, and I mean nobody at 168 has a chance in hell of beating Joe Calzaghe. I hope this fight does happen, because just like Jeff Lacy, when Calzaghe has handed Carl Froch an almighty asswhooping, there'll be nothing that can be said other than random mumbling from a few embarrased looking faces on Frochs side of the room, just like what happened with that fat **** Gary Shaw and all those nobheads from Lacys camp who all changed their tune and had to eat humble pie. I look forward to that happening with Froch.
But Carl has been calling out Calzaghe for YEARS, Frochy would of taken the fight YEARS ago.
So what?
Everybody who's anything has been calling out Calzaghe for years. Even though Calzaghe is objectively the biggest threat to anyone at SMW, he is also by far the most recognised name. Fighting him carries the opportunity of the far bigger reward.
So perhaps with the exception of Ottke and Beyer (who actually had something to lose), I wouldn't be surpriced if every significant player at SMW has at one time or another called out Calzaghe. And even Beyer recently showed he was willing to face Calzaghe. The right price and place had already been agreed on. But Calzaghe wouldn't agree on a date that would allow Beyer to heal from his latest cuts.
Anyway - Calling out Calzaghe means absolutely feck all. Only diff is that since Froch is british, the british press actually NOTICED this one.
Froch would get a beating worse than Lacy received, if that is at all possible. As Frank Warren said, he'd be reported to the NSPCC if he promoted that fight.
