Froch Groves 2 Official 2 weeks before the fight thread

I think you could put him in there because he is so consistent in the quality opponents, I don't think anyone in boxing has done what he has in terms of back to back fights and winning with his desire and will to just win or atleast die trying in a losing effort!

Calzaghe fought a lot of bums which is why his record is big, add to the fact froch is well travelled without any quibble each time.

Huge froch fan since class of 2002 but he would lose to Calzaghe on points without getting hurt but would say Calzaghe would be pushed more than ever.

Froch wouldn't get hit like lacy did as he uses range so well.

He also times his opponents well. Tough one though.

This is a wind up right? Froch , Hall of fame? What hall of fame? World- NO, British- didn't know it existed , but NO. Nottingham or East Midlands - Perhaps.
It is a bit off topic, but let's end this once and for all. Calzaghe is superior to Froch in EVERY SINGLE WAY!!!lots of criticism was labelled at Calzaghe and one was that he fought the Yanks when they were old and past it. I think that's a fair comment, but remember he beat Hopkins 6 or 7 years ago, and Froch would get easily beat by Hopkins now! Also Calzaghe beat Kessler when he was young, unbeaten and in his prime. Froch then loses to him, and beats him years later when he's a bit more shop worn. I could fill pages proving my point, but I can't justify wasting time on it.

Was a little surprised last night when I learned HBO was covering the fight. They don't usually leave this continent.

This is a hugely hyped fight and they need to start competing against Showtime so they are trying harder.
