If Froch wins the Super Six series... does his legacy surpass Calzaghes?

And wouldn't give Hopkins a rematch even though he would have come to England.

 

100% yes.

 

Cheers mate, you're a top poster and I learn a lot from your posts :good

(well, the non-Calzaghe one's anyway )

 

Stay at home Joe only fights in Wales :good

 

I meant your British top 5

 

Or Wales then. Everyone was really negative about a rematch but I think they could have made an event out of it. The Welsh would have turned out in their droves to boo Hopkins. Hopkins would have played the bad guy more than ever and if Calzaghe's fans were so confident Joe had the beating of Hops then it was nice easy payday for Joe eh?

 

I think Team Calzaghe realized they were fortunate enough the first time around, didn't want to push Lady Luck too much...

And I know many disagree (as is their right to), but I still maintain Hopkins took Joe a tiny bit lightly first time around (even though he still won in may peoples' opinions). I believe Team Calzaghe sense this too, and didn't want to risk a more motivated, vengeful B-Hop coming for them second time around.

 

Should have happened, you're right.

However, I think Joe really hated Hopkins with a passion and loved the fact that he beat him and there was **** all Hopkins could do about it.

 

I don't think Froch will win it but if he does then I think yes it will.

 

I think that the scoring of Hopkins - Joe should have a thread all to itself.

I had it to Joe by around 3 points (but then I would) and in the week after the fight I think around 80% of ESB posters picked Joe in a poll.

However as time passes more people say they scored it the other way and I think it is a convenient stick to beat Joe with.
