Froch on 'Bitter' Calzaghe: My Stats Smash His To Bits! - Boxing News

This is why people dislike him. If he thinks this he's deluded. Calzaghe was the best Super-Middle in the world. He beat a prime Kessler well and took his 0. He was undefeated and he won every single version of the Super-Middleweight Title. He then went up to Light-Heavyweight and beat the lineal champion. Carl did not do any of that so don't pretend your stats smash Calzaghe's Carl, because no matter how many times you bitch about it on Sky he was a better fighter than you, and he would have schooled you had you fought.

Froch has always talked a lot of shit. I don't think he genuinely believes he has a better record than Calzaghe or that he could have beaten him.

Froch achieved a lot more than someone with his very limited skill set should have done. He was tough and relentless and has a couple of decent wins on his record, but he is never going to be seen as an all time great or a particularly good boxer even. Above all, I think he will be remembered for his toughness, granite chin and old school warrior approach. He did pretty well without being spectacular or particularly memorable. He's the kind of fighter people respect rather than rave about.

Thank you Carl Froch. Very few fighters can match his heart and will. I was calling for him to retire last year. dude, Take the money and your hot girlfriend and have some fun. I hope he doesn't have return to boxing because his girl blew all his money.

Frank Warren:

Ultimately Joe beat everyone who was put in front of him. He fought every one of his mandatories and won. As for Froch, at no time in his career has he been the number one super-middleweight.Why didn't Froch and Calzaghe ever fight? It didn't take place because he sat down with me in the Westbury Hotel twice and I offered him big money to fight Joe both times, but he didn't want to know.
All he kept asking was, 'when is Joe moving up to light heavyweight?' That's a fact. Carl came down with his financial advisors and we had two meetings. He said he was out of contract with his promoter Mick Hennessy, but that's as far as it got. I know I offered him much more than he was earning at the time, but he wouldn't take it.

Froch did not fight anyone to let him get a shot at Calzghe when he was still active that is all on Froch for getting a late start. I mean a old Calzaghe took Kesslers 0 no problem will a past Kessler took Frochs undefeated record. The skill gap is pretty much in Calzaghe favor not really that close.
