Does Frochs win over Taylor beat any victory on Calzaghes resume?

Some of you Calzaghe fans live in fantasy land.

 

That is an understatement Sir. It really is.

Calzaghe UD's Froch seven days a week:good

 

Guess this thread just shows what a lot of people think of Calzaghe's career. Talent and attribute wise he is light years ahead of the Cobra. Joe wins 9.9/10 for me head to head, the fact that Froch's resume could conceivably surpass him shows how badly he's managed his career.

That being said I do think the manner of Joe's wins are being ignored. Yes Lacy did nothing since, and Jones Jr was shot, but he absolutely dominated them. That's a big difference to looking poor for 10 rounds and getting 'lucky'. A win is a win though, and Froch beat a big name in his own backyard, though unless he improves he'll fade away into obscurity and it'll remain just that - a lucky win.

 

Calzaghe sounds scared.

 

Calzaghe will probably come back and fight Gary Lockett.

 

Only In your dreams Beeston :scaredas:

 

Have a look at the last round of Calzaghe/Eubank. Chris was still strong and caught Joe with a great shot near the end. If that was a tired JT in there instead of JC I honestly reckon it would have been over. I also think there would be a near zero chance that JT would stop chris.... lets face it no one ever did till his last fight and that was only on a swollen eye. And I just cant see Chris being outboxed by JT in the way Carl was. Boxing skillwise I think everyone would agree that Eubank was a far slicker oprerated than Carl is.

 

Lockett needs to take his beating like a man :deal

 

Would Pavlik/Lockett II with no referee satisfy you :!:

 

No.

I want someone that has a high output but not a lot of power.

Calzaghe fits the bill - can make him pay for quitting like a gutless ***.

 

Didn't Gary Lockett say he hated boxing when he retired and he had a BBC column writing about itatsch

but subjecting him to a Calzaghe windmill....:verysad

 

I think I can understand why Froch said he didn't like fighting. Can't be much fun to eat that many shots every time you step into the ring. You'd have to worry about his healthh as well considering the punishment he has taken in his last two fights.

 

I don't know if Froch's win, is bigger than Kessler or Hopkins but as an achievement it outweighs anything Joe did.
I mean come on it's been said dozens of times:
First defence.
Fights a big name in his own backyard.
Knocked down for the first time ever and had the courage to shake it off.
And only got $700k for his trouble.

Calzaghe never had so much against him in any fight imo.

 

Calzaghe had everything against him when he fought Hopkins.

He was in America.

Adelaide Byrd was judge.

If he wins he gets a Ring belt.

If he loses he loses to a 41 year old man.

If he wins he wins against a 41 year old man

If he wins he's guaranteed to look bad.

If he wins everybody will claim he didn't win.
