    Excellent post sir.

    Put up or shut up is right. Joe is extremely pissed off that Froch achieved in one fight what he's been after all along.....well you shouldn't have stayed with Warren so long son, holding your talent in check for ages has buggered you and your legacy up.

    I see Froch causing him big problems. Accurate , hard punches and just like JC he likes a tear up.

    "Lacy him?" like **** he would. calzaghe may well win but it would be on points, JC is an excellent fighter but get out now mate while your supposed legacy is holding a bit of water.

    Dawson, and Froch deserve far more of a shot then Joe's last opponent, and as much if not more then 95% of his other opponents. "Doesn't deserve a shot"... you would think the guy was Ali... If he retires then fine, but all this "doesn't deserve a shot" is poor form, imo.

    How can someone, like Dawson, who would be at least a top 3 victory on Calzaghe's resume, not be worthy of a shot..

    If it isn't clear to people who follow boxing by now, the reason parties mouth off through the media is to see if people then start threads that generate 7 pages of replies and counting.........looking good for the fight happening in Oct/Nov 09 or April 2010 at this rate! The 5 million quid talk is complete rubbish. For that to even begin to materialise Hennessy needs HBO on board which is why the fight against one of HBO's golden kids in Taylor is very important

    I don't see the point of Joe fighting anyone at super middle again, it's not going to do anything for his record (unless he loses!).
    If theres anything left to do it's at lightheavy where his CV is much smaller.

    I wonder if they'll both be at 'Sports personality of the year' - and while I'm on the subject, who put JC on the shortlist.

    I love calzaghe, he my personal favourite, ive met the guy twice in person at sportsmen dinners and he's always been a great bloke, having photos done and signing autographs, i reckon that he doesn't need to fight froch cos he should stick at light heavyweight now, but he didnt need to be so disrespectful he could have easily said something along the lines that if he fights again his future lies at light heavy and froch isnt a recognisable force in that weight class, he could have said that froch's performance wasnt all that great (personally i think it was) but to say he'd knock froch out in 4 was unsportmanlike. should have kept the harsher views to himself, but i guess thats what makes Joe.

    Personally i'd love to see calzaghe fight 4 more times trying to get that 50 - 0, and for some of the belts at 175 against the likes of Erdei, Garay, Tarver & Dawson

    problem is with Calzaghe..........he is so vain.

    vain to compare himself with others.

    he complained not long ago that he has made nowhere need the money from boxing as he should.

    dont worry though folks..........he is can just manage the rent.

    Warren revealed he made Calzaghe £10 - £15 million

    For a WBO reign that conisited of a legacy of caridff ice rink defences that is not a bad living

    What Calzaghe means is that "compared" to Naseem and Oscar and Tyson and Lewis, etc etc..............he has not earnt that much

    Them guys were bigger stars than Calzaghe

    Calzaghe has done well with what he has got

    Naz was a celebrity.............everyone tuned into a Naz fight

    Calzaghe is just a boxer.............he has done well

    He is too vain for his own good and so is discontent with his lot

    Both fighters need to grow up a little bit. Unless this feud is going to set up a fight, the trash-talking and disrespect between them is unnecessary.

    Flint, your getting boring mate.

    Joe and Enzo could say the same thing on any given day and you'd slate Joe and defend Enzo.

    Bring some objectivity into your posts for ****s sake.

    Calzaghe has always lacked what we call class.
