    I find it hard to believe Joe ducked anyone. Who did he duck? Pavlik? Hopkins and Kessler > Pavlik.

    thats **** logic, if fighter A beats B who will one day beat C it dont mean A gets a free pass avoiding C when they are in line to face them.

    in your borked reality, joe should only fight once a year. thats what you are saying, isnt it?

    why is that right?

    There would be NO problem in adding Froch to his itinerary during those 2 years after Kessler, apart from dicing with his first defeat of course.
    Lots of fighters face 3 or 4 or 5 opps in 2 years. If Froch wasnt so big a fight why not squeeze him in? Joe himself faced an average of 2 per year in his wbo years. But YOU decided that its not feasible for JC ON THIS SOLE OCCASION because you want to defend Joe running from good challengers.

    I'm not going to wait for you to say that, you agreed that Froch was a nobody at the time yet at the same time Calzaghe fought Manfredo. Was Manfredo a somebody in comparison to Froch?. Good luck answering that.

    Regarding Lacy, it's embarrassing enough that Lacy is Calzaghe's claim to fame and yet shameless drunken recycle bins praise and celebrate away. Lacy had half as many fights as the Pride of the Pubs of Wales and it's even far more embarrassing that Lacy held a major title while Calzaghe thought the WBO was enough to be undisputed for his entire career till Lacy and Kessler decided to make the trip.

    If he fights someone better of course he gets a free pass. It's not a duck if you fight someone better. Pavlik was a MW anyway, how can he be 'in line' to fight Calzaghe?

    Its fair enough if you mean because hes a different weight class.

    This is a load of **** mate Froch said he would only fight Calzaghe at a catch weight. Remember Calzaghe moved up a weight before Froch won a world title. Basically you're a crap talker with a selective memory.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/7769794.stm

    There you go there. Froch said it would have to be a catch weight after Calzaghe moved up.

    Also did you notice how agreeable and timid Froch was when the pair were on ringside? Because he knows for a fact he was offered that fight and Calzaghe makes it clear he did not turn it down.

    But look Froch was offered the fight and refused it. Hennessy even admitted it.

    Was it not fair for Calzaghe to ask for a rematch clause against an unheard of opponent in an optional defence?

    After Calzaghe moved up to light heavy weight Froch started blabbing on about a catch weight which was a load of rubbish as well.

    Basically Froch used to call Calzaghe out when he had only had about 11 fights, got to a point where the fight became a realistic possability declined it because there was a rematch clause, went completely quiet about calling Calzaghe out and then started calling him out again when it became a completely unrealistic fight.

    You're attacking Calzaghe for this but wait there.

    A) How many fights does Froch have a year? Because in 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 he has only had 2 fights per year so how can you attack Calzaghe for this?

    B) look at Hopkins 20 defence title run, how long did that last again, that's right 10 years.

    C) Calzaghe was only active for one year after beating Kessler not two and Froch was in the super 6 by this time anyway.

    D) Remember that Calzaghe would have fought more if not for hand injuries.

    ask gabriel clarke of itv who ducked who he made the call to joe then put froch on the phone
    first it was its all about the money sky offer him a carrer high purse of 5 million dollars
    , then it was , its about legacy so froch knocks taylor out in front of an american audiance , then care to take a guess what came next thats right im retired.
    the offer to froch was made when froch had injury which f w a n k knew , there for the time of the offer from f w a n k the fight could not be made but f w a n k still had something to put in that **** rag you call a newspaper , after all this there was still no contract sent to froch:think

    you are quitre right I am attacking Calzaghe. I am NOT attacking Froch about it, so this makes your next redundant -

    -because I am not comparing the density of resume between JC and CF, I am simply asking why JC didn't fight froch when he had ample time to during his lightweight schedule once CF was national level but was happy to do so anytime when Froch was a regional level kid. You require a separate thread for that question.



    - I not asking why Hopkins didn't squeeze froch in. Again, that needs a different thread entirely.

    no, check your dates, unless you mean another super six that I am not aware of.

    conjecture. you have to go on what happens not me telling you I could Floyd mayweather.
