Very much doubt that ever happened, they've been very close friends since their amateur days. David Haye has openly admitted that Carl Froch is the best fighter in the country and he has a better resume by a mile.
Froch has the Midas touch at the moment. He could batter an old man and he would turn out to be a Nazi war criminal who slaughtered kids.
Awhile back this dude I used to work with saw James Toney in a Las Vegas Casino and began yelling ****. James walked over to him, and made dude look like a ***** in front of his girl. James went over and politely pulled out a wad of Money (Hundreds atleast like10,000 rubber band) and told my friend it would be his if he sparred him for one round. At the place and time of my friend's choosing, James told him he had nothing to worry about if James was Fat and Shot, and retired.... I imagine Carl was gonna do something similar....
I would never miss an opportunity to sparr a world champion. I could brag about it for the rest of my life
mwhuahaha. I went to Crawley once. The cinema smells of wee and pizza, and the town is no different to any of the Surrey/Kent clones towns, packed with townies who are right well off but pretend they are hardup chavs.
