    Froch retired happy that he'd emulated cowardzaghe by some distance.

    No worries buddy.

    If ever you wanna compare it just reply with that list of ten, I'll get a notification so even if it's weeks down the line I'll be able to debate it then.

    Until then mere Xmas and a happy new year.

    woah, cowardzaghe had no intention of facing kessler, until he heard that kessler had broken his hand.

    Facing jones and hopkins once they were old would have definitely qualified as a Wassen trick.

    Stopped reading vent and stripped lofl
    You mean like he was stripped for not facing froch
    Froch smashed bite in a way Joe could only dream of
    You can keep copying and pasting parts of posts from years ago your defense mechanism when it co es to Joe are off the charts

    Where was Reid rematch promised by Joe fwank and enzo
    They obviously were not as confident as your self

    Ask Reid him self through twitter or yt I'm sure he will reply


    Would Joe lol

    Tweet ian drake he heard the phone call
    I'm sure he will tell you his firsthand account

    I donotcount slaps as clean blows by the way
    You really are a fan boy worse than most when it come to stay at home Joe
    Ward sat and watched joes career as self styled it on refs judges home advantage and court cases only ward stepped up to fighter's in there prime his hand forced but still
    You could not force joieto do sh1t even his own father said Joe had to be dragged to the ring and his confidence had to be feed from himself and fwank

    Resumes are only for W's. Froch LOSING to ward does NOT add to his resume. I dint think being totally gifted the W vs Dirrell boost his resume.

    I don't understand the reasoning with most fans. LOSING is BAD, no matter how much you wish it didn't. calz is, (by far too many levels) the better fighter. calz was a great fighter, froch did not have the talent to ever be considered a great fighter.

    Calz BEAT better fighters than froch, therefore he has a better resume. LOSING is like getting fired from a job, that's somehow good to you guys ?

    So you wouldnt give names like I asked previously and were not able to give an answer for 3 fighters let alone 10. You wrecked your own argument when you wanted me to list 10 and I said I would start with 3, and you couldnt answer then lol.
    Happy new year and maybe from here on your resolution should be to only debate about what you know instead of claiming you are knowledgeable from various websites

    So you claim not to have read but answered with further mistakes lol.
    Calzaghe beat Kessler and then went after Hopkins at LHW. Thats not ducking! That was taking a far bigger fight and test. Remember Froch wasnt overly keen on facing Hopkins years later saying something along the lines of it is a tough fight where he could lose but not get credit if he wins etc
    Your post doesnt make much sense at times as if you are typing out of temper and not paying attention to what you are writing. Still if you look back to Reid, Reid lost his very next fight in a bad performance and didnt look good again for a long time. In fact after Calzaghe beat Reid, Reid never fought like he did before in fights with Wharton, Cherifi, Pretaurious etc. If you were watching then and do know, remind yourself of how Reid looked in his very next fight after Calzaghe

    I did not read and I did not read this when a guy is copying and pasting old questions on his mission of defence and your famously known for the sheer volume of postage you go that's raw emotion unless your Joe I find some what strange
    Reid is on youtude his own account and twitter go ask him who promised him a rematch go back and watch the end of the fight
    A man would honor his word like ward with kov we will see won't we
    You have your opinion and viewpoint I have mi e and they are polar opposites
    We will have to agree to disagree
    But you have to admit the similarities in Joe and wards career only ward trying to prove himself sooner than Joe ever did

    Be my guest not to read

    Many fighters think they are getting a rematch. I seem to recall Froch saying something like iof Pascal won a world title at LHW Froch would give him a rematch or something like that.
    I dont doubt that a rematch between Calzaghe and Reid may have been mentioned but Reid lost after and I think changed promoters at some point and I wonder if Calzaghe would be interested in giving Reid another opportunity when Reid wouldnt face Calzaghe when champ. Thats right or did you forget that?
    Calzaghe gave Reid a shot and chance when champ but Reid didnt give Calzaghe a shot and chance when champ

    Lets get some perspective here.......

    Froch sought out and fought the best of his era.

    Joe hid away in the mecca of boxing that is Newbridge.

    Why don't we list who Calzaghe DIDN'T fight, rather than give him credit for beating hasbeens ?

    Why do people act like losses don't matter at all and only compare the best wins?

    Froch lost soundly to Ward and there was the Dirrell controversy. He also lost to Kessler.

    Calzaghe never lost.

    What top SMWs did Calzaghe hide from when he was a SMW champ? Also Calzaghe was a champ for many years so tell me how long Frochs era as champ was and Calzaghes when naming
    Why do you say Calzaghe hid in Newbridge when only around half of his world title fights were in Wales :ciao:

    Because Calzaghe never fought anybody that was a threat.

    His best win is an injured Kessler.

    Ward is rightfully acknowledged as a top pound for pound fighter, which pound for pound great did Calzaghe fight and beat ? and please don't embarrass yourself by using Nard and Jones as an example.

    I must remember that my list of ATG's doesn't count, as some of those on my list had done the unthinkable and been beaten at some stage of their career.
