    Eddie Hearn did an interview with IFL on Saturday and tells a story about a fan approaching Froch and telling him how he'd followed him from Finland to America to cheer him on, and how it would really make his day if he could get Carl's autograph. Froch looked the guy in the eye, said 'No', and walked away. He apparently then turned around to say 'Only joking' to find that the guy had gone. This is Carl Froch's idea of being humorous, in a story told by his own promoter and biggest cheerleader.

    Jermain Taylor had a lot less trouble with a younger, fresher Hopkins than Calzaghe did. This tell you everything about Calzaghe's skills at the top level and shows why he took the safety first route he did with his career.

    Hopkins found a new lease of life at light-heavy, able to eat 1,000+ more calories a day of solid good food, says the man himself.

    But he was also 43 years-old and well past his prime when Cazlaghe fought him. That is a fact.

    He had all of his best-ever career performances at light-heavy or so (Tarver, Pavlik, Pascal etc). Trinidad was a flat-footed blown-up midget.

    Who has Froch actually beaten? A shot to pieces Kessler, got a robbery against Dirrell and that's about it?

    Hopkins had been on the slide since 2004. He was still a good fighter but only Calzaghe's deluded fans, who no nothing about the sport, think he was anywhere near as good as he was from around 1996 to 2003.

    Froch out of the ring is insecure and that is plain to see, never liked his attitude.

    Inside the ring he is a beast.

    Cant stand the man but will always tune into his fights.

    Calzaghe beats Froch though.

    And Taylor was winning handily prior to Frochs last minute charge.
