Comments Thread For: Calzaghe: It's Mad, I'm Still Living in Froch's Head After All These Years!

[OLD JUD]

you mean to say you shouldnt make Joe Calzaghe look bad, since you just confirmed that Joe Calzaghe tried to make an offer for a WBO world title shot to a green nobody of regional level...........

I did nothing of the sort, so don't lie about it.
You are the one who posted that JC ducked Froch, another LIE.
All i've done is set the record straight, you also make a misleading claim that Froch was the mandatory opponent for JC, care to expand on that? Was Froch the number one with all the various bodies? How about giving us a date for this? The year and approximate month will suffice.

Cobra picking on dude's near 50 smh

yeh thats fine, no problem with fact - apart from your DeGale assumption.

As you well know Froch faced the winner of Groves-Degale twice, and won twice, so that lie wont wash.
You are well aware that Frochs last fight was 1 year previous to DeGale, not him running from the actual scheduled mandatory with him in gibbering fear to face a shot guy. like calzaghe did.

Collins retired rather than face Calzaghe in a final fight and he was an absolute warrior. No cowardice there just his time was up, like Calzaghe's was after Kessler - he made the 2 big money fights at the end for the retirement fund, which the Froch fight simply wouldn't have matched financially. Degale may not have been mandatory for Froch, but he had built back from the Groves loss and was in with a shot at getting the fight. Not sure who the mando was actually meant to be, but Froch was chasing both GGG for the big money and revenge over Ward after Groves II, then retired when he got neither instead of facing his next mandatory. In short a champ has 3 options when they're past it; big money fight, immediate retirement or take on another low purse mandatory. Calzaghe took the 1st, Froch the 2nd when 1st didn't materialise and only fools take the 3rd option.

Joe will always be known to be the more accomplished fighter, Froch will always be known to be a limited fighter who thought he was much better than he ever actually was

DeGale was in fact the mandatory.

Arthur Abraham (Ring #7 - 168)

Glen Johnson (Ring #7 - 168)

Lucian Bute (Ring #1 - 168)

Mikkel Kessler (Ring #2 - 168)

George Groves (Ring #5/TBRB #8 - 168)

George Groves (Ring/TBRB #5 - 168)

Not sure what rank Dirrel, Taylor and Pascal were... No doubt Froch is greater than Calzaghe.

Did you not read the article?

No. I'll wait for your link to this fake news.

[Lefty0616]

Froch was one of the most overrated boxers when he fought. He was outclassed by Ward and disappeared right afterwards. He wanted no parts of the top fighters at this point and retired young. He probably was afraid to tarnish his legacy.....because he was definitely sure to continue to lose.

No. I'll wait for your link to this fake news.
