Anyone see ringside? Joe just laughed off the thought that froch would beat him!!

And a lot of Joe's opponents were?

 

Bernard Hopkins was.

That was the only realistic window in which the fight could have happened.

 

He could have fought him instead of a totally shot RJJ that would have been a huge UK fight

 

That was a retirement fight.

Froch had already said he wanted no part of 175 and was still a nobody who had just fought Albert Rybacki.

 

Fair enough for going for the money but the showboating in that fight was sad to watch considering what RJJ was and what a peak RJJ would have done to a peak Joe

 

It's a shame how things turned out.

My grandmother would have fancied her chances with Roy Jones at that point.

Wouldn't have been so bad if Calzaghe made a fortune out of it.... Jones got a 50-50 split :yikes

 

That was ridiculously stupid by Calzaghe.

As it turns out he'd have probably earnt more by letting Frank negotiate for him and paying him his %
