Calzaghe`s thoughts on Froch`s self verbalizing praise

Calzaghe would have never lost to Ward like that. Calzaghe was a hustler who knew the game too well. Froch is a mere hard hitter with a chin, he will never have anything on him.

 

i'll keep this post real short based on the fact that i've had enough of incompetent posters this week already...

the Hopkins fight was going to take place in America, not Wales as you seem to think. Hopkins would have also made the biggest purse of his career. $3 million.

these were the conditions from Bernard himself if a Calzaghe fight was to take place. Calzaghe agreed to all of those conditions. Hopkins scuppered those plans by asking for double the money the very next day.

why did Hopkins ask for double when he was the one that asked for his biggest fight purse ever? IMO, he thought that Wa55en wouldn't be able to pay him the $3 million he asked for so gave a price that would give him an excuse as to why the fight never happened. when his demands were met, he **** himself and asked for double. he did so because he didn't want to fight Joe. he knew how good Joe was and knew he would lose to him, as he did when they eventually met.

also, i'd like to mention the fact that Hopkins brought in the A team, as he called it, when he did meet Joe in Vegas. Hopkins had never before done this for any fight. nor has he done it since. that tells you a lot right there.

Taylor did the same thing when asked if he'd like to fight Joe... he said he'd have to be paid the stupid amount of $10 million. basically, he didn't want the fight because he would have had his **** pushed in. easily.

please check the weights that Toney was fighting at when Joe first won the WBO title way back in 1997.

Thanks.

 

No excuses if you not ready don't fight. Bute was ready to put it on the line so he's only got himself to blame if his prep was **** and it cost him the fight.

 

Agree with Calzaghe 100%

 

Froch can say what he want's he's a warrior, there arent many of his kind about that can pull off wins with true grit and heart rather than pure boxing ability.

Hall of fame, similar to Gatti. :good

 

I know which one I'd rather watch, and it ain't the slapper

Look at his record after beating a below par Eubank, name me one world class operator he fought in nearly ten years until the lacy fight.

 

Froch is not worthy of carrying Calzaghe's jock strap!

 

Really?!?! Two words "no mas". I think youll find leonard was an atg.

 

Froch and Calzaghe are both great fighters with different styles abilities..to me they are both ATG's...

Froch was too late, same thing is happening with the like's of DeGale, Groves wanting Froch...sometime's the era makes it more difficult.

 

Doubt Groves will be too late for Froch.
Great national spectacle. Groves just has to improve his status a bit and fight a few more names. He's beaten Glen Johnson and Degale so has a name, but needs something more.
Froch would school him, but it'd be great experience...and Froch could say he never did what Calzaghe did, ignoring the upcoming youth.
I think the Groves fight will happen in time.

 

Froch is entitled to believe what he wants to believe. Let us remember a prize fighter especially a champion should be a larger than life figure and the fact Froch has an ego should not be a surprise. Whether he is the best British fighter ever is irrelevant what s relevant is Froch's belief in himself.

 

The difference between Calzaghe and Froch is that Joes whole career was cherry picked right down to his last fight.Froch on the other hand has been fighting the best of the best for the last 5 years with only Yusaf Mack being the exemption,Calzaghe defended his title against guys like Mack for nearly 10 years and no one batted an eye lid.

Froch can say what he wants as far as I'm concerned,Calzaghe should have fought him instead of playing it safe and retiring.If your not gonna come back and fight keep your trap shut Joe your opinion is null and void.
