Calzaghe or Froch - who do you prefer

If Froch actually said all these ridiculous quotes that have been attributed to him recently, then the guy is an absolute, grade 'a' ****.

I can't stand Calzaghe though.

So, at the moment, its Froch by default.

 

Calzaghes my man he was the fighter who got me into boxing.

I have saw all his title defences and 2 fights before he was champ

 

Froch. There are elements of his personality that are a little bit of a myth in my opinion. I have seen/read loads of interviews where he does pay respect to Calzaghe, and only says that he feels Joe is ducking him. He gives Calzaghe the credit where it's due though.
Calzaghe on the other hand seems a little bit nasty towards Froch, especially when Joe refused to give Carl any credit for his WBC title win, and came across quite classless - and yes, even jealous - about it.

Carl seems to be a genuine, down to earth nice guy who is very articulate and intelligent. If you actually watch his interviews, especially the profiles ITV did on him building up to Pascal, you could sense this.

Also, Carl is willing to back up his boasts by actually testing himself against the best he can as soon as he can, something that took Calzaghe 10 years as WBO champion to start doing.

 

I prefer Calzaghe to be honest. I think Froch talking of Calzaghe ducking him is a myth, until he picked up the WBC belt he had never done anything to make himself stand out from a number of other contenders and prospects, and seemed to be taking the Junior Witter route of trying to secure a fight and a payday through simply happening to have been born on the same mass of land.

Froch has been fighting Rick Thornberry types for the last few years and I give him his credit for going overseas to take on a legitimate contender in his first defence which is impressive. However, on the flip side of the coin, he's what 31 now having just won his first world title and really has to be in a bit more of a rush about it than Calzaghe, who won his aged 25.

 

calzaghe. i cant stand froch

 

Very true :good

 

Froch... I believe he genuinely wants to fight the best, and that's a great attitude to have. He has the hunger. I respect that.

I respect Joe too, it's not a one or the other situation for me. But I like Froch's attitude, and this idea people have about him being massively arrogant is naive. He has to create a public persona. He seems brutally honest but pretty down to earth to me.

Really hope he beats Taylor.

 

Froch as he seems willing to fight true world class opponents wen calzaghe didn't always fight the best fights did he?
I enjoyed calzaghe against kessler far more thatn his last too fights the jones thing done nothing but weaken his legacy in my opinion wen we all
Would have far preferred to see the fight a decade earlier instead of joe waiting till he reckoned jones was shot.these are the things that annoyed me with calzaghe for a so called 10 year world title reign he
He rarely put it on the line and fought in true world class

 

I'm pretty indifferent when it comes to Calzaghe. Never really liked his style, but he deserves the respect he earned. Don't like how he defended against bums for 10 years. But still neither like him or hate him, but would support him when he fought.

However I'm a fan of Froch. I like his attitude towards boxing, going for the best, at least he is at the moment. He is an exciting fighter, and I'm hoping for bigger things for him in the future.

 

all this froch jc stuff is rubbish, jc would do froch inside 6, rjj would beat froch, hop would beat froch, kessler would slaughter froch ,manfredo would..... ok maybe thats pushing it!!

 

I choose Froch. I respect what Calzaghe has done throughout his career but I respect Froch more for going for the best (WBC) belt and then defending straight away against his mandatory. Furthermore Froch is that desperate to make the fight happen he's going to THE CHALLENGERS backyard to do it.

 

Froch is doing things the right way, good luck to him.

Calzaghe would make him look ****ing ordinary though.

 

definitely Froch. Calzaghe's better but.......well need I say

 

calzaghe, frotch whats he actually achieved??? he has no class all u hear him say how great he is and how crap everyone else is and a idiot. next time IF HE beats taylor, he will start saying he is a ATG and the best as he beat taylor who beat hopkins.
froch is a idiot
