    Default if Froch beats Taylor in style will it bring Calzaghe out?

    Like him or hate him if (yeah i said IF) Froch can bash up Taylor in style he'll become a huge star overnight - no question....white, unbeaten, come forward style etc basically like Kelly Pavlik was supposed to be.

    He can go some way i think to being hailed as a real hero and i gaurantee win or lose the US will love him after the Taylor fight but i believe he'll stop TAylor but that's just my opinion.

    So if he can do what i think he's capable of would it be enough to lure Calzaghe out of the darkness?

    Doubt if Joe could get down to Super Middle with ease and Froch said he'd fight him at catchweight.

    Two undeafeted fighters both from the UK and this could go down in the US or Cardiff i reckon and still be massive either way.

    One thing i do know is if Froch can pull this off in style he'll be calling Calzaghe out left right and centre

    I dont think Joe is going to come out of retirement. Froch still wont be a big enough star to generate huge PPV numbers which translates into huge dollars........

    I can't see Calzaghe coming back. I would love it if he did, mind. He is such a brilliant boxer and would play games with either of those guys. I can't see it though.

    I just can't see Calzaghe staying retired though.
    It's all he knows and it's no secret he wants to go down the showbizz/tv route like Hatton but did anyone see him at the Brit awards..?

    I've seen trees that are less wooden

    I think if there's a real challenge from a live unbeaten World Champion his head might be turned.

    If Calslappy gets bored, he will come out of retirement to slap Froch around. But Froch/Taylor should be an interesting fight. I guess we shall just have to wait and see how well Froch does against Taylor first. Let's not put the cart before the horse. I would much rather see Hopkins/Calzaghe II but Hopkins in this second fight has to come to fight or he will lose another close split decision.

    If the money was there , then why not , stranger things have happend.

    Personally I think this will be a great fight. BUT, I think that Taylor maybe a step too far for Froch (although I hope not) and I see him maybe getting stopped. He took some shots off Pascal that I think showed weakness' that someone of Taylors calibre would exploit. Maybe it was just him knowing that Pascal couldn't KO him, time will tell!

    As for Calzaghe. I think he has got out before he hit the slope and I see the only way of him coming back being a massive money fight that Froch wouldn't be able to demand!

    Even if Froch beats Taylor in style i still don't see Calzaghe coming out of retirement. I feel he is completely done with fighting.

    Doesn't matter anyway because Froch is losing to Taylor.

    I don't think he will ever be tempted to come out of retirement, Joe seems to know exactly what he wants. He ain't stupid with his money either so I can't see anyone (let alone Froch) tempting him to lace up the gloves once again.

    Fresh Dawson would be more exciting to watch against Joe.
