There's a chance Froch can catch Calzaghe and chin him. However I think Joe proving to be too fast and schooling Froch would have been the far more likely outcome.
Hearing how highly Benn is able to speak about Calzaghe shows you the difference in his class and self security over Froch
The most insecure fighter in history is Floyd Mayweather. No fighter has had such an obsessive fixation on their 0. Incapable of self criticism, paranoid, constantly surrounded by hype men. Ego driven by insecurity.
By the same token Joe would not have been a world champion for a very long time after he first won the WBO title. Interesting to see he finally became Ring Magazine number 1 ranked super middle in 2002 but spent four years without the title because he was messing about fighting Evans Ashira types. As ever, it’s Joe’s ability combined with a pretty poor CV against Carl’s lack of ability but a great string of opponents. Funnily enough I think both seem unhappy. Froch is evidently really thin skinned and unable to take (valid) criticism. And Calzaghe, who knows. But I can’t help think he believes he did everything he could in his career.
Yes he knew he had zero chance of beating Ward - Andre Ward treated Froch like a Big Red Bus coming while crossing the road. Frock knew As his nose grew Andre Ward Made him look poo
If he was that insecure surely he would have been suicidal after ward beating him in fine fashion then blame all around him and come up with excuses as why he back interest in fighting his own countries counterpart lol Really insecure or really really really insecure Lol this place
How original. I've just read the autobiography of Carl "The Contradiction". He states several times that he had no interest in fighting Ward again. He even admits that he couldn't be ar$ed in the middle of their fight. He couldn't hit Dirrell either. He had no interest in fighting him again. Similar to Warrington/Galahad after their hometown gifts.
