    Hypothetically, if Calzaghe came out of retirement now to fight Froch? What magnitude of fight are we looking at?

    They would fill up that area again with tickets price twice that much.

    I would pay 10,000 for a ringside seat, two watch am old Calzaghe rip Froch's face to pieces.

    It would be a massive fight and I would be surprised if Calzaghe didn't get knocked out. Too much age and abuse of the body, ring rust, all that bad stuff.

    Now that Froch kod a nobody whose biggest previous accomplishement was losing to Carl Froch, Brittards would be really amped to see Froch club away at Slappy. No way Wembly would be big enough for a festival of brittish hopes like that. Biggest fight in world history, assuming you live on the island.

    Maybe. But maybe Coke head's hands are fully healed and he savagely KO the Cobra.

    I'll bet on the latter, as an old Calzaghe stands over a prone Froch.:yep

    featherfist knocks out granite chin?

    but post prime doesn't stop retiree shorn of fitness advantage...?

    this is truly a point at which UDKSAB applies, though I would never use that myself.

    Joe should have come out of retirement a good few years ago if he wanted the fight, now is too late.
