I think he is as dull as dishwater as a fella (after the dross documentary) but can be very excitingin the ring.

But to be blunt, i do not care for the TeamCalzaghe propaganda - here on Saddo's we know the score - that the real fights, Froch / Kessler etc could be made in double-quick time with fair negotiating as they have publicly aired their desire to fight him - but Art Palle, Kessler's promoter lifted the lid on how Fwank avoided his calls the make the Kessler fight - prompting the public message about 'Kessler not famous enough' to avoid the fact that Joe just didn't want to get beat up.

Stylistically, Froch would be the stiffer test - plus the domestic interest would be massive - but Fwank would only make the fight if Froch defected from the Hennessey camp and then and only then, after numerous undercards against 'easy opposition' would the Cobra maybe get a shot.

When this was turned down on Froch's allegiance to Hennessey - the paltry 60K offer was made.
