C'mon Preme, we all have our bias - i'm a Froch fan as you probably guessed. And reading that, it's obvious your a Joey (Joe Calzaghe fan)
I dont buy that a fight between Froch & Calzaghe would be bulshit, no way mate !
Froch has battered a heap of soutpaws, Magee & Tatevosyan both were southy's put to bed early with no coco.
Froch has passed absolutely every test put in front of him, like him or not, he has completely cleaned up the UK domestic scene - it's not even close, Froch is 1st 2nd & 3rd on that front.
Wheras Joe has publicly stated that 'Kessler is a nobody, a complete unknown, hence the Tv companies wouldnt be interested' - but then begins negotiations for Alejandro Berrio !!
Also you say Bute is a nobody, but as i see it he is a very good boxer indeed. As is Mikkel Kessler.
The sternest test Joe has had is Jeff Lacy - whom was found out immeadiately against Tsypko (whom also won in my eyes) - a guy who was beaten by Magee (although robbed) - did i mention Magee KO'd Lacy as an amateur? ?
Did i mention that Joe pulled out of magee with a week to go for fight night - because the WBO didnt recognise him LOL - the WBO is a joke as we all know. Froch offered to fly out to magee to take Joe's place - but Magee declined.
It was only when magee slipped down the pecking order to Robin Reid than he undertook Froch's offer and was blitzed.
Speaking of Reid - he called out Froch..then decided against it !
See a pattern forming? Joe declining fights ? and Froch offering them ?
Froch would never shirk an offer ever, he'd never manouvre out of the way, he'd meet them head on as he has shown multiple times.
Carl won a fierce amateur show in Copenhagen many moons ago (when he himself was a middleweight) - and loved the place. He has no problems going there again for a Kessler showdown.
For that reason & attitude he's starting to win people over - wheras the same people are desserting Joe for the opposite reason unfortunately.
Calzaghe is world class - but his decisions have been distinctly amateur of lately... Manfredo anyone? thought not.
