Froch V Calzaghe. A Close Fight?

A KD is possible, but I can't see any scenario where Froch wins

 

i'm Ass a sin on a boxing forum, no more no less.

i'm certainly not a "Nobdy" as i don't know what one of them is.

don't need to make threads. i've never made one since i've been on here. doesn't make anyone any less of a poster if they don't make threads. plenty already up to post in.

"kick off like a billy goat"? i'm not the one who's got their pantys in a twist.

sorry that i'm not entertaining. i don't see my purpose for being here as having to be "entertaining" just making posts that's all. :hi:

 

jones did floor him. calzaghe was 37 at the time. don't think too much should be made of that. jones hit him far harder and cleaner in the fight with joe not even blinking.

hopkins floored him with a perfectly timed punch. it wasn't the power.

joe didn't take salim seriously. it was a horrible fight with him leaving himself wide open in his attacks. not surprised he was put down. the two punches that did it though were good hard shots.

mitchell floored him with big right hook in close. mitchell was a huge puncher so it wasn't surprising to see joe hit the deck. it's what you do after you hit the deck that counts. he got up and stopped mitchell soon after. calzaghe showing the heart he did should be a cause for praise, not ridicule. :-( mitchell is also ten times the puncher froch is.

reid had a lot of success with that lead right hand. and? he fights nothing like froch.
every fighter has fights in his career were there are fights that are hard. what is so surprising for you? and how many hard fights has froch had? and how many times does he get hit in these fights?

kessler did have success, yeah. but that would be expected from an undefeated fighter who is as good as kessler. though that success was minimal.
kessler also has a much better straight right hand than carl. carl mostly loops his right hand or brings it up with an uppercut. he actually doesn't throw the straight right that much to be fair. go and watch his fights, you'll be surprised at how much he doesn't throw that shot.

froch wouldn't come close to stopping calzaghe. he had a great chin. it took him 11 rounds to get magee out of there. didn't look like coming close to dropping pascal, let alone stopping him. took him twelve rounds to get taylor out of there. he hadn't had a knock down for ages until he got bute. carl hit him with loads of shots and he didn't even drop him... and bute doesn't even have a good chin. so stop with the bull****, yeah.

if there's a stoppage, it would be calzaghe stopping froch with an accumulation of shots. froch doesn't put his hands up, he blocks with his ****ing head. calazghe would do some serious damage there. can you imagine what carls face would look like with that defence of his? doesn't bare thinking about.

you're living in dream land. :deal

 

Froch would win a 10-8 round, and still lose the fight clearly. Froch isn't stopping Calzaghe

 

Maybe all these fairytale fantasy fight threads involving long since retired fighters should be reserved for the Classic forum in future.:deal

 

Even Froch said Calzaghe would win.

They were on ringside together a few weeks ago and he admitted it.

 

yeah, and how much success did his opponents have when he did this? practically zero. try again! :bbb

 

froch was calling calzaghe out... and? why would joe want to fight a british title holder who hadn't even fought anyone instead of the big fights with the big money in kessler, hopkins, and jones? :think

 

You say I am living in a fantasy land?:huh

You truck, we are discussing a fantasy boxing match between Carl Froch and Joe Calzaghe. There is no right or wrong answer but we have to try and be as reasonable as possible. I have given my reasons. You have given yours.

Magee fights cautiously, Pascal has a iron chin, and Taylor is a boxer who fights on the backfoot at times. Calzaghe is a come forward fighter.

Calzaghe's style and Froch's style would only complement each other. Froch would have his moments.

Do you think Calzaghe can hurt Froch?
IMO Froch can hurt Calzaghe if he lands a flush cork screw uppercut. But IMO, there is no way Calzaghe would hurt Froch, he may overwhelm Froch with a barrage of flurries but wont hurt Froch at all.

 

You know nothing about me you complete tit. At least I'm not a rambling alcoholic.:rofl:dead
