Calzaghe says the Froch fight May happen

Joe Calzaghe is confident

Sunday November 2,2008
By Niall Hickman


Joe Calzaghe has finally admitted a ‘Battle of Britain’ could go ahead, if both he and Carl Froch win their respective fights before the New Year.

Calzaghe faces Roy Jones Jnr in the small hours of next Sunday morning at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

The Welshman has promised to retire from boxing afterwards but now insists he could be willing to delay hanging up his gloves to fight Froch.

Nottingham hero Froch tackles Jean Pascal for the WBC super-middleweight title on December 6 and an impressive victory could trigger a massive all-British showdown, possibly in Cardiff.

“I don’t think there is anything out there for me to prove any longer, but I think you should never say never in boxing,” said Calzaghe. “If Froch wins then who knows? I don’t think he is in my league as a fighter but he would have the WBC title and that is an honour. He’s decent but he has a very stand-up style and he’s easy to hit. He would be beaten, just like every fighter I’ve ever faced.”

Until now Calzaghe has been adamant the Jones fight would be his last, but now the door is ajar for Froch to face the ‘Pride of Wales.’

Nottingham Forest fanatic Froch, 30, would not flinch at going to Cardiff to for the big clash. “I’d be there like a shot,” he said. “My style is made to beat Calzaghe. I’d end his unbeaten run and send him into retirement. Everyone gets old eventually and Calzaghe, as his last performance against Bernard Hopkins showed, is getting past it.”

Calzaghe is hoping for win No 46 against Jones, an American sporting icon, but now 39 years of age and past his absolute prime.

“It’s a huge fight for me and it’s the first time I’ve appeared at Madison Square Garden,” said Calzaghe. “That’s motivation enough. I’d have loved to have fought Jones many years ago but this is still unfinished business.

“He is the only opponent out there who can give me a battle at light-heavyweight and yet, after beating Bernard Hopkins after stepping up from super-middle, I’m even more confident in my ability.

“Roy Jones likes to be a showman and he likes to dazzle which will play right into my hands. At least he won’t bore to tears everyone like Hopkins does. Jones comes to win and so do I which means it is going to be a terrific match-up.”

Former middle, super-middle, light-heavy and heavyweight world champion Jones is in the twilight of his career.

But after three straight losses in 2004 and 2005 he has recovered with three straight wins and in his last outing he delivered a near-perfect display in beating the once-great Felix Trinidad on points in January.

And Jones is supremely confident that he has the weapons to beat Calzaghe.

“I don’t have to match Joe’s output. I just have to find the punch to knock him out. I’ll win the fight – no question. I’m not certainhow, but I’m going to win it.

“Hopkins was too cautious with Calzaghe and that was his goal, to stay upright. My job is to come out of there with a victory.”





Lets hope both men win their next fights and hopefully we can see this fight happening. I was unsure at the start that this fight would happen because I was pretty set on JC retireing if he beat RJJ. But he must still have a bit of hunger left in him, I think he will have his hands full against Froch and he shouldnt underestimate him in the slightest. Carl Froch would be the hardest hitting fighter hes ever fought IMO and if he says hes lacking motivation and only is fighting for the money...Carl Froch is the complete opposite. Hatton-Tszyu anyone? ;D

I think Carl can upset the odds if he beats Pascal on 6th December, I think hes a lot more hungry than JC at this stage of both of their careers and I wouldnt be surprised if Froch can upset the odds

Froch Ko late rounds IMO.

CmonI'm a Froch fan myself but it would be a massive upset were he to KO Calzaghe.

That simply is not going to happen......

Why not though ? Carl hasnt ever really came against sombody who can hit as hard as Froch. Lacy's power is overrated, it was rated so highly by the Americans because they wanted JC to be scared of him. JC will have constant pressure on him for 12 rounds and he has been caught before. Carl is awesome at finishing fights off, I admit he is big underdog here, but I can see an upset happening.

Ive mentioned this before not soo long ago,that all Froch has to do if he beat Pascal is to call out Calzaghe LIVE on t.v straight after the fight with Pascal and if Calzaghe remains undefeated then Calzaghe will give us brits and the rest of the world a great match up with Froch!It would be a AWESOME fight for sure.I hope it happens:D

Calzaghe would definitely eat canvas against Froch. He can bang with both hands and is very effective and strong when countering. Not super quick, but he makes that up with accuracy.

Would Joe lose though? not sure.

Calzaghe has a great chin and to say that he will definitely hit the canvas is stupid.I see Calzaghe taking a wide UD as he would pepper Froch's face with his hand speed and get out of range,as Froch is defence is poor.But CF will always have a punchers chance.

its a win, win for Froch...

big money fight and when he has lost no one would be that hard on him.

what Joe gets out of it i aint sure ?

maybe a nice massive easy UK fight to bow out on.

I like Froch, good talent, good power, good chin, only weakness is a leaky defence so why not get it on for the UK public.

Joe win via KO rd 4 for me ;)

Froch better hope Calzaghe doesn't take a fight with him.

Unless he wants to get exposed.

Froch's team have already offered Calzaghe £5million for this fight to happen.I mentioned that last week.Thats great money win or lose!!!

I'd rather see this fight for Calzaghe than anyother in boxing now. Apart from a rematch with Hopkins (which will probably be semi-shit again) there's no other appealing fights for him.

And if a guy that needed an 11th round KO to secure victory over Brian Magee, can BEAT Calzaghe (barring he knocks him spark out ;)) i'll never watch boxing again. Fact.

Is Froch the new Pavlik?

I've seen nothing about Froch that leads me to think that he would have a chance against Calzaghe.

Brian Magee was a big strong southpaw. Wheras Ashira was a midget from light-middleweight.

Calzaghe and Froch break both their hands, yet Froch puts Magee to sleep and into a semi-coma. I think magee is Euro-level and to pull that off with a broken thumb takes some balls. If he didnt break it, then i think round 5 or 6 and Magee would have been killed.

Im fed up of reading Tams craap about Froch and anyone elses that think hes any good:p

The man hasnt fought anyone with power to prove he has a good chin and if you are basing his good chin on the amount of punches landed on it so far by mediocre opponents than that doesnt bode well for him in a Calzaghe match up.

Who has he fought and stopped that had a proven chin? Thee only person I can think of is Reid and hed been dropped a few times by Lacy 2 years before hand.

I think Joe just said this and not meant it, imagine yourself in Joes shoes right now, your the best in and around your weight, your fighting a legend, youve earned your money, after years at the top youve finally got your recognition and the man that you supposedly struggled with has just completly piissed all over your biggest percieved threat, the only fight that you may have been considering after this one.

Froch is completely unknown to the TV audience, he has no belts, he is nowhere near the p4p rankings, he has no decent, eye catching performances to whet the publics appetite for a match, hes 31 and hasnt fought a world rated fighter yet.

If warren was miffed at having to let Joe fight Veit a second time, a Froch matchup wouldnt even cross his mind, it would make no money at all and would prove nothing for Joe, if he beat Froch as easy as he should do then whats he done? Hes beaten someone with no world pedigree or experience, big deal!!

Froch was offered this fight just before Joe beat kessler, Froch shiit his pants and hid behind his promoter.

There was a video clip from a telly interview with Froch where the interviewer phoned Calzaghe and handed the phone to Froch, Carl went very quiet and with a bemused look on his face and a shaky voice he asked Joe to fight him, Joe told him its all about money and Froch had no answer because he knows hes not a star or a draw oir even relevant in any big fight match ups;D

Yes.. Magee is Euro-level. But he has a dodgy chin, and average at best power.

Fair enough Froch done his thumb.. but it didn't stop him from throwing - and he needed the KO to gaurantee the win. Calzaghe dominated Ashira with one hand. Big difference.

And I'd expect Calzaghe (dodgy hands or not) to slaughter Magee inside 4 rounds. ;)

well make sure your watching the Pascal fight because your going to see carl at his best. Carl has never ever been down EVER! I dont even think in the amatuers, but im not 100% sure of that. Hes been ducked heavily and its not his fault, Inkin the chicken pulled out twice. He has built himself to this momment and he will win the belt on dec 6th, mark my words!

The fight couldnt be agreed, but now a decent offer would be placed on the table its buyable for both men.

How was he scared ? what are you actually talking about? Froch WOULD fight JC there is nothing more to stay about it.

Froch isnt unknown in the UK though and thats where the fight will be aired and if Froch gets a good win against Pascal he will have good recognition for that and will attract people to watch the fight.

As I have said to you many times Ross its a waiting game, but I will just letting the people know. Im not repeating myself like I do on every Froch thread which you comment on. Ill hold my hands up and agree with you if he gets beaten by Pascal, im not going to be making excuses for him.

Froch: It won't be easy for Joe

Published: Sunday, 2 November 2008, 2:10PM

Unbeaten Nottingham star Carl Froch goes for WBC world super-middleweight title glory live on ITV 1 in December when he meets Canadian slickster Jean Pascal.

However 'The Cobra' took time out from his own busy training schedule in Ireland to give his feelings on how big domestic rival Joe Calzaghe's fight with Roy Jones will go in New York next week and also clarify his own position on a potential multi-million pound showdown with the Welshman in 2009.

ITV: Joe Calzaghe is boxing Roy Jones in New York next weekend. The bout is getting the big build up in the media right now but is it a fight that really excites you as a boxing fan?

CF: It's an exciting fight. It's happening a bit late in their respective careers I suppose definitely but it is still Roy Jones Jnr we are talking about. If he can pull back at least 50% of his old skill and that magic he used to have Calzaghe will be in a lot of trouble. It's an interesting fight because I think that Calzaghe is past his best as well. He struggled against Hopkins. I'm not impressed by his work in his last couple of fights I think he has struggled. That fight was close and I felt the judge that gave it to Hopkins was the correct judge. It's still a decent enough fight for the fans though as you've got an old legend fighting against someone who is looking to hang the gloves up so it's one that I'm definitely going to be watching with interest.

ITV: Roy was a wonderful athlete in his prime but he is admittedly a few years removed from his best now. What does the 39-year-old version of Roy Jones have to do to get his hand raised in New York?

CF: He has got to keep himself out of range. Calzaghe is not a devastating puncher. He just has a good engine and throws lots of shots. When he is in range he just throws a hundred shots and he batters the life out of you. Critics say that he slaps and while I don't totally agree with that I don't think Joe is a big puncher now because of all the problems he has had with his hands. But he throws a lot of shots when he is in range. He works in close and peppers his opponents, tries to overwhelm them and catch the judges eye. Roy has got to try and control the fight from the outside with his jab. He's done this for most of his career and I think Roy is a genius in the ring but it's all about what he has left. You said he is 39 but I'm sure he is 40 or 41 because I know he used to train with Robert McCracken. But you know if Roy Jones can produce just 50% of what he used to, and I mean just 50%, and he can maintain it, then I think he's got a great chance on the night.

ITV: The Welshman reckons he'll stop Jones but do you honestly feel he punches hard enough to become just the third man after Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson and KO the American?

CF: I can't see that no. I don't think he hits hard enough. If it was a younger Calzaghe then maybe he might have stopped an old Roy Jones but my money wouldn't be on that. Although of course you never know in boxing do you?

ITV: Calzaghe had said this will be his final fight but he has dropped one or two hints in the media just recently that we might see him again in 2009. He claims there are no challenges out there but provided you do the business and win the WBC super-middleweight title against Jean Pascal surely a fight between you two could be absolutely mega for next year?

CF: Too right. It's definitely a valid fight. I'd have his old belt. Everyone knows I've been trying to get a fight with Calzaghe for the past 18 months. I'd be the WBC champion. We'd both be unbeaten and what better way for him to end it that a fight against a young gun coming through who is now at the very top of his game? It's a fight people want to see. Honestly it's all people talk about when I walk around Nottingham. It's the first question they ask. It's a massive, massive fight going back to the Benn and Eubank days. It's on that type of scale

ITV: There were even reports in the media this week suggesting your promoter Mick Hennessy has offered Joe £5million to box you. What can you tell us about those rumours?

CF: If you have read something saying that Mick says he has put down a £5million offer for me to fight Calzaghe then he has obviously sat down with the TV companies and discussed it. Nothing has been made totally official at this stage but the conversation has taken place and it's all about getting the finances in place to make this fight happen. A fight between me and Calzaghe would definitely generate massive revenue. Gate receipts alone would be huge. Then you have got the TV revenue coming in. All the advertising on top of that. You know it's realistic, a £5million offer. Although it's not been put down on paper yet it's a genuine offer that he worked out and will hopefully be put to Calzaghe after he does his job against Roy Jones.

ITV: Joe admits it's all about the cash for him at this stage of his career but I get the impression that the money is secondary for you at this stage and you just genuinely want to test yourself and prove to the world you are the real deal?

CF: Of course. That's exactly what it is. Becoming undisputed champion and beating the best means the money comes with that anyway but I'm not motivated by that. I just want to be recognized internationally by all the other top fighters and the fans. I want the world's best to be saying 'Yeah that Froch's a decent fighter', gain their respect and get my 'pound-for-pound' ranking up. When a man starts talking about how much money he is earning before he fights and that he is fighting for this amount and that amount then for me you can tell he is getting towards the end of his career. You can't blame him though. He has been a good servant to the game. A pro for 11 or 12 years and I guess he just wants to get what he can. He's made some good money from the sport but I don't think he is a multi-millionaire in the way say a 'Prince' Naseem Hamed was so I guess he's looking at banking a few quid and turning it in.

This is a boxer you're talking about, not a super-hero. An untested boxer at that. Remember, there is a first time for everything.

Jermain Taylor, for instance, had never been down in 28 professional fights until he met the wrong guy in Kelly Pavlik.

Roy Jones didn't hit the mat until his 37th pro fight until Lou Del Valle put him down in the 8th.

There are tons of instances of this. Carl's measley 23 pro fights, never above C level competition, without a KD thus far, mean absolutely nothing. NOTHING. And above all, it certainly does not make him invincible.

i'm not much more than a pedestrian boxing fan, but i do try to keep up... before this forum, i'd never paid much attention to him. if he were invincible or could walk on water, you'd think he'd be a little better known.

At this stage of Joes career im not sure what weight he would be best fighting again if he does after the Jones fight.

After Two fights at light heavy and ebing 36, im not so sure he would want to get back down to super middle, he might make the fight but at light heavy, if Froch thinks he can beat Calzaghe hed take the fight whatever the conditions or options, which is why im not sure he does seeing as hes already turned it down.

Joe needs to stay at light heavy at this stage of the game or no fight, Joe has earned the right to call the shots and if anyone on Frochs level wants to lure Calzaghe in to a meaningless match they will have to do it under Joes conditions.

The only people outside of the UK that have ever heard of the guy hang out on boxing forums.

He seems to have a bit of potential, mainly based on what appears to be devastating power, but he's not even remotely technically sound much less indestructible, and he's not even been tested against the likes of Miranda, Green, Andrade, etc.

But his fans continue to mention his name in conversations about Calzaghe, Taylor, Kessler, etc, with claims of, "You'll see!" :rolleyes:

Still so sad anybody thinks the Pascal fight matters or says a damn thing. I'd call Pascal vs Manfredo a pickem. :p

I think calzage would win and would win easy

Pascal, to this point, is pure mediocrity. Froch beating him means relatively little.

Put Froch in with someone who can bang back and watch him go down like a sack of shit. I hate how he has fought absolutely no one yet might get a big money fight v Joe just cos he is a fellow Brit. Guys like Andrade, Bika, even Miranda deserve it more, any of them would blast out Pascal.
Pascal is just a poor mans wannabe powder puff RJJ. Beat someone who is tough and durable before getting a shot at Calzaghe.

i dont get it why would he fight Froch if anything Froch and Kessler should fight and then the winner should fight calzaghe, It would just be another homecooking fight for Joe thats it.

What has Froch ever done to deserve a shot at even Kessler? He has never ever ever beaten anyone in the top 30 at 168.

Well from listening to him, u can tell he plays with himself, so why not take it to the next level and fight himself.....

Tam would be on here saying how Froch is scared of Froch, Froch has never felt the power of someone like Froch, after Froch beats Froch he will be top at 168 etc....

Funny thing is , if Carl Froch was matched with Carl Froch , one of him would pull out injured.:LOLATYOU:

Calzaghe has stated in todays press that Jones IS the final hurdle so whether this happens is anyones guess...

No. Lacy's power isn't overrated. He hits exactly as hard as he seems. But none of that matters when you can't make contact. I've never seen this Froch guy, but my guess is he'll lose. His initials are JC for a reason.
