Calzaghe: "pavlik Was Overrated, Overhyped And Hadn't Done Anything In His Career"

LOL.

He was due to fight Johnson after he fought Shieka, Shieka won so Joe battered him in 3rds.

As for Froch you are kidding!! the guy is due to have his biggest fight against Jean Pascal.

Do one mate.

Froch has been calling Calzaghe out for years. Yet Calzaghe avoids him for the great Contender bum Peter Manfredo Jr As for Johnson he's ducked him like 3 times.

I'm a big Carl Froch fan but the truth is as of yet he has done nothing to warrent a fight with Calzaghe.

After beating Jeff Lacy Joe quite rightly wanted to make a big name for himself in America and get the mega fights over there.

To that end he took a fight with Peter Manfredo, the most popular fighter on the Contender and well known both in the US and the UK. It may have been a mismatch but as a way of getting the attention of casual American fans it obviously made smart business sense.

He then had a stay busy fight with Sakio Bika, who was coming off an aborted title shot against Marcus Beyer before challening the undefeated and double champion Mikkel Kessler in a massive and highly risky unification fight.

Finally after winning that he was a big enough name to get his mega fights and has now fought B Hop and Roy Jones Jr in successive fights.


Please tell me, all those who think he's ducking Froch, when would it have made sense to fight him?

Froch has never been on the radar for Joe Calzaghe and fo good reason.

He's completely unproven, completely unknown, has never even been in a big fight let alone won one, he offers nothing in terms of money, world titles, stateside appeal or resume so in short why the fuck would Joe have ever fought him?
