In all truth he faced some very good fighters, and beat them Hopkins tried to old man him, but it
did not work, Joe deserved the decision.
As for all the crap about facing Froch, there was a interview with Joe and Carl, in simple words
Joe told him if the moneys right, I will face you.
Froch has memory lose and has, forgot all about that interview a good few years back, trouble
is fighters can say one thing and do totally the opposite.
The difference is Joe Calzaghe has been top of the shit pile, but Carl Froch is just on the second
tear, as we all no top of the shit pile is Ward, weather Froch likes it or not.
