    Joe Calzghe Hall of Fame inductee

    Carl Froch self proclaimed best boxer Britain has ever had and international superstar.

    I think a foreigner who knows boxing would rate Joe higher than Carl.

    Sums him up, hypocrite. Full of praise for Degale last week and now he's having a dig for s****ing through vs Dirrell, a man Froch could easily have lost to. And taking offence to something a kid says about his **** just highlights the international superstars insecurities.

    joes choice to go with f wa nk
    joes choice not to fight forch
    joes choice to wait till jones was sh ot to sh it
    joes choice not to fight woods

    etc etc


    and once he left and took control of his own affairs he still had no intentions of fighting froch

    which i said at the time will come back to haunt him or at least leave doubts and questions in joe own mind

    exactly Joe would have beaten froch and his legacy would have been even better having known what froch has done in the game. instead he fought past it stars which is fine and i don't blame him but he ducked froch

    Calzaghe and Froch ''missed" each other - you can't blame Joe for that fight not happening. Calzaghe was at the tail end of his career chasing the big money fights & going over to the states, Froch hadn't even won a world title & couldn't fill a phone box... It didn't make sense. As they say hindsight is a wonderful thing.

    so after being pwned on the other thread when making posts like this, you jump over to another to repeat yourself even though you couldnt answer any counter points :lol:. this shows that you have an agenda and whatever any reason, it wouldnt make any bit of difference to you because you have already made up your mind.

    Tell me once again
    Why would Calzaghe have fought Froch then? It would have been like Froch fighting C Smith now :lol:. Back then Froch was a little known British champ, fighting in a lower division to Calzaghe, who was facing a big name known fighter that many felt he would lose to. Why would he face Froch then and would Froch have been willing to go up in weight because he doesnt show interest nowadays in going up to LHW

    Chances are Froch probably wouldnt have gone on to be the name he is now if he had of faced Calzaghe then, because realistically I dont think Froch would have won and would have been badly outclassed and look limited.
    So Froch would possibly have not got a title shot when he did.
    So now you have Froch with about 17 wins and a loss back as British champ still, then Froch may have got another shot, but if that had of been to Kessler, that would likely have been another loss, so you would have Froch with 2 losses before going on to challenge for a world title a third time, if that scenario happened and chances are then his next chance could have been away to Ward and that would be 3 losses without winning a title, maybe he would have had to have faced Dirrell away and that was a fight some felt he lost

    What with wins over top 10 fighters who were or were former SMW champs in Reid, Woodhall, Veit twice, Brewer, Mitchell and then look at how fighters like Starie were beating C Woods and how Sheika was beating prime G Johnson that some felt when faded beat Froch, to name a few

    you only have to look at how froch has responded to his losses to conclude you're likely wrong. and regards your previous post, rubbish, smith isn't froch's mando. i understand joe chasing bigger fights, but you're comparing apples and oranges.

    no it would have been like froch fighting groves and then maybe degale :oops:


    joe choose not to remember he was in the driving seat

    he also choose not to fight woods in wales for his highest at the time career purse of 1 mill at lhw for the ibf title joe signed and then ran to the hills pulled the contract and fought kabary salem i kid you not


    aint jumping anywhere i was wrong regarding some timing issues either way its a boxing forum

    i said in the past other than your blinkers for joe you were a decntish poster but i class you the same as a khan fan boy now

    good day cu nt

    super hands keep you warm

    i really believe your joes son :-:)verysad

    Froch tends to fight better in rematches I admit, but not sure quite what you mean as look at all the fights Froch has had where some have felt he lost, some felt he lost to Pascal, Dirrell, Adamu, Johnson etc.
    No Smith isnt Frochs mandatory and Froch doesnt hold a belt, but i was giving a rough example of where they were in their careers and similar amounts of fights, though I always rated froch and am not as sure about C Smith.
    Still at that time Froch wasnt Calzaghes mandatory. Froch was going for the WBC title, which Kessler was holding, only Kessler went for a big unification fight with Calzaghe. Calzaghe won the title but chose to go to LHW for a bigger, tougher fight against a more well known fighter than the then little known British champ.
    Cant see whats tough to understand about that, but you must also felt then that Kessler choosing to fight Calzaghe was wrong not to fight Froch instead if you go in with that opinion
