Calzaghe or Froch - who do you prefer

Calzaghe obviously.

Froch is a big mouth who is about to get shown up. Possibly by Taylor but certainly by Kessler if that happens.

Not once did Carl Froch ever get big enough to be on Joe's radar and lucky for him because he would have been totally and utterly outclassed.

 

yeah not big enough like Pudwill, McIntyre, Ashira etc etc etc etc.:roll:

it sounds like everyone who has met Froch in person thinks he's a quality guy, while even a couple of Calzxaghe's huggers on here have acknowledged the man is a **** in person.

 

A lad met JC at the Enzo vs Haye fight and said he was pretty arrogant and miserable.

Then another lad said he was really decent.

I think JC is probably a bit complicated and introvert at times, then other times he is way over the top.

I met Froch at a sporting dinner and he spent about 15 minutes solid talking about stuff in a circle of folk, from football to Calzaghe. He said that Joe had a warrior's heart in the ring, but unfortunately not out of it. That he respected his talent, but felt he should have really flown the flag and took on everyone instead of sitting collecting cheques fighting nobodies.

 

Calzaghe is a top bloke.

Just shy, which will come over as miserable and arrogant on times.

 

The result of this poll so far (30/30) speaks plenty about the famous and much lauded ESB British Forum, I think.

 

Have you been drinking? I don't mind Froch, but beating another up and coming contenderfor a belt and then one good former middleweight champion do not come close to winning all four belts whilst beating ten world champions.

 

Well said

 

Mr Bassie , Im going for the chick in your avatar ! she would kick both there asses put toghether and mine too !! frightening ....

 

Decebel has posted this in the General and it's a landslide to Joe.

Something like 23 -3.

 

This is a bit of a joke really, if this poll is based on talent. Calzaghe would wipe the floor with Froch

 

That's the point, it's not. It's simply about who people like the most. No real logic behind it, just who you like.

 

Im not a fan of Calzaghe but i prefer him as a person to Froch,i also think Joe was a better fighter.Froch has not fought anyone apart from a faded Rob Reid.If he beats Taylor then maybe he can start to mouth off about how good he is,as it stands he just comes across as a *****.

 

People attach too much weight to boxing personas. Both Calzaghe and Froch come across as arrogant when discussing the fight game but neither are in reality.

When I was still at university I emailed Joe and asked him if he could give me an interview to include in my disseration. He came alone to meet me at Cardiff University and we chatted for about 45 minutes in which he answered every question I asked. The Calzaghe gym in Newbridge has always had an open door policy so anyone who wants to meet any of their fighters or even train alongside them can do so.

I've never met Froch in person but those who have all say that he is approachable and always willing to chat.

As for comparing them as fighters, we need to wait for Froch to develop his career before we can do this. At the moment there is no comparison. The biggest name Froch has on his record is a severely depleted Robin Reid. He's doing the right things but at present does not come near Calzaghe's achievements.
