Carl Froch always slandering Joe Calzaghe and Andre Ward, but he ain't in their class

[JakeTheBoxer]

Calzaghe overrated IMO. His best wins are Kessler, old Roy Jones and old Hopkins.

Joe avoiding Carl is one of the biggest myths in boxing

it is a fact that Froch was Joes next mandated SMW opponent, and Joe chose not to turn up for the fight. He left he division hoping to cherry pick a 43 year instead, hoping on that name being nearly shot. Froch would have been the tougher fight. Facing an uninjured Kessler in Denmark would have been as tough too, he was screaming for his rematch after his hand surgery.

There is no other way of putting this than direct avoidance of a tough fight. It is the pattern of Joes whole career. Frochs is the polar opposite.

He does that to everyone, Froch can be vindictive. He beats Groves twice and he still can’t get over the trash talk that groves put on him.

Yeah. Froch was fun but christ is he sour

Okay but BHop went on to great things and Kessler and Roy were still good wins.

Shame we never got Froch but nobody besides Ali and SRR fights them all

He's just one of those chip-on-his-shoulder kinda guys. Was not in Calzaghe and Ward's league, but he was a great champion.

It's funny, he and Ward hate each other but they have the exact same personality: always negative, always complaining. You'd think they'd be best friends.

[GhostofDempsey]

Froch has always been a salty guy. In retirement he's gotten worse. He was never on the same level as Calzaghe.

[DreamFighter]

Ward beat him by a good amount and i think Calzaghe would beat Ward and Froch. Joe had fast hands, a high punch rate per round and great boxing skill on offense and defense.

this is the thing, with joe its always "would have" not did.

[champion4ever]

This I agree. He wouldn't so much as face a naturally smaller man in Gennady Golovkin at a 168 lbs for fear of being chinned by him.

Had that fight been offered to either Calazghe or Ward they wouldn't have so much as hesitated at the chance of fighting him at Super middleweight.

For example, Andre Ward was never offered the opportunity to fight Lil' G at 168.

You are absolutely spot on about Ward and Froch 😂

- -Froch a fine career obviously cursed with the Tubsy Lar, Lewis gross inferiority complexes.

They feel inferior for a reason.
