Joe Calzaghe's comments on bunce's hour

Why should Calzaghe give Froch a pay day, Froch should get in with Kessler before calling out Calzaghe.

 

Calzaghe is being very disingenuous about Froch, and seems to have an infalted sense of his own self importance, the arrogant twat. I think Calzaghe should congratulate Froch, not try and make him look bad. Calzaghe's career and legacy are hardly bullet proof either, the guy hid behind the WBO belt for a decade.

 

Froch has been slagging Calzaghe off since day 1, also Froch goes life and death with Pascal and now all of a sudden he beats Joe:rofl

 

Apart from Hennesey and Froch, who is saying Froch could be Calzaghe? and I've never heard Froch slag off Calzaghe. If that is true then ok, maybe that adds context to Calzaghe's comments, but otherwise, Joe should just be a man and congratulate Froch, instead of doing his best to rubbish him, what kind of man does that?
I wouldn't mind if Calzaghe had been chasing the biggest fights, taking on the toughest opponents, going to America for years etc. etc. but they guy stayed in Wales and fought nobodies for the most part.
Froch won a world title, and is now chasing Taylor, Kessler and Calzaghe.
Calzaghe won a world title and hid out in Wales, fighting the Rick Thornberry's of this world, and giving guys he KO'd in 1 round rematches!

 

You have hit the nail on the head.

Calzaghe saying "I dont like the guy, so why should i give him a payday" stink's. If Calzaghe dont like Froch and he is so convinced that Froch aint **** then he should fight him and show us all he was right instead of bad mouthing him and every other up and coming prospect.

To coin a Calzaghe phrase "At the end of the day" Cazaghe's got no class.

 

I think Calzaghe is most likely just jealous - Froch has received the kind of acclaim in his first world title fight that Calzaghe didn't receive until he beat Jeff Lacy.

If he simply said "Well done, but you are not on my radar" people would give him the benefit of the doubt most likely, but to start sprouting off about "Why should I give him a payday" is bad, did Roy Jones deserve a payday, Peter Manfredo, Sakio Bika?

This is probably as bad as Hatton with Witter - because although the feud between these two isn't as personal, Froch does sell tickets, Froch does bring TV etc.

 

How much did Peter Manfredo mean to Joes legacy and where did he find the motivation for that one??I think public demand and a media fuelled slanging match could make this happen.And yes i do think Froch could win.If he dropped Calzaghe like Jones and Hopkins did i dont think Carl would let him up for air!!!Having said that he has to land the bomb which is easier said than done and he certainly cant outpoint Joe.But i would be rooting for my fellow Englishman!:happy

 

Calzaghe has left me tired with all his **** talk the last couple of years

He just says whatever suits him

And to say he would KO Froch in 3 or 4 rounds...............then say he will never fight him.............is very cheap words

 

erm froch is a gobby,egotistical twat&has fought 0 world class fighters,so where's the problem?

 

froch finally picks up an alphabet belt(a vacant one at that)&all of a sudden he should fight joe?......fight kessler!

 

That's it for me.

It's ridiculous that Calzaghe should feel jealous of course, but he comes across as very insecure with comments like these.

 

Calzaghe said Frochs missus must be sick of him cos all he does is go on about Calzaghe

Calzaghes She-Male must be sick of him too...............cos he is always acting like a village idiot

 

Idiotic comment.

 

More insecure than vain IMO. Despite his ability he simply didn't do enough to chase glory or put it all on the line in the same way as those other guys. Just because he had one fight with Hopkins fall through a few years back doesn't equate to the same chances that the other guys took to make it big. Lewis in particular had a mountain to climb to gain widespread acceptance - but he did it.

All JC's whinging about Warren (who he kept voluntarily re-signing with) holding him back and badmouthing guys he's never going to fight is getting pretty boring. I used to like Calzaghe and was really pleased after the Lacy/Kessler wins but his actions since then have gone back to his low risk-low glory days except that his time he's giving it attitude to anyone who'll listen.

 

Come on man, fighting his first fight in the US against Hopkins is hardly low-risk.
