    I think Calzaghe has suffered at times from a small town attitude. I heard Frank Warren getting interviewed before the big fall out with the calzaghe camp, saying that he could have made Calzaghe millions through sponsorships like modelling for Armani but he turned it down as Calzaghe didnt want the exposure or the hassle, (the contract went to Freddie Ljundberg) He was offered to fight on American undercards which would have got him exposure over there much earlier than he eventually did.

    Calzaghe. Simply the superior athlete.

    As a general rule, don't quote Frank Warren in order to make a point. The reason for this being that many cynical, bitter and frankly insecure members of this forum often question his honesty. It's a sad sign of the times I'm afraid.

    On the point of the thread though, I prefer Froch by a mile. He's always made me laugh (whether he intended to or not, I wonder) whereas Joe is a conceited twat who - in my opinion - has been no more than Frank Warren's greatest product. A career based on not losing, while utilising the compliance of his undiscerning fans.

    ...and by the way, JC clearly wanted no part of Froch and his defenders using grotesquely exaggerated examples of personal comments as a reason to 'not give Froch a payday', is just plain poor.

    Going by his last fight I'd rather watch a fight by Froch (not that he's the better fighter). It's early days to say though as Froch is still yet to really establish himself on the scene.

    Edit: just seen a clip in the main forum of Calzaghe claiming the, non top ten contender, Eubank he beat was more dangerous than the young prime Eubank.

    Froch for me.

    Unless you're stupid enough to question the integrity of a High Court Judge there is ample evidence to question Warren's "honesty". Or is he bitter, insecure and cynical as well?

    Seems like dear old Frank is deluded and at war with the world.
