Call me stupid but I think Carl Froch beats Calzaghe.

[yoitsdan]

Well i don't believe it Yotisdan has made an appearance, i haven't seen you since the Hatton vs Mayweather fight.

You haven't been looking hard enough

[Kirkland Laing]

Carl Froch has looked fast and powerful against some of the C/D level fighters he's been in a ring with and nothing special against others. But looking good against low level guys is what you expect from any prospect. They can look like Sugar Ray Robinson against domestic-level fighters and hasbeens, but when they move up in class we find they're not as good as we thought they were. Froch may look roughly the equal of the B level fighter he's finally, at the age of 31 and after ducking big fights for years, moving up in class to fight next, then nobody will be talking about him anymore.

Even if he does beat a B level guy I confidently expect him to get his arse handed to him when he finally finds the bottle to get in the ring with an A level guy like Kessler. Carl Froch is British and has a gigantic mouth which are his only apparent qualifications for being mentioned in the same sentence as Calzaghe.

I think a fight with Froch may make sense in Wales/England. I am sure fight fans would turn out in droves.

Would you rather see Joe fight Froch or Dawson?

Uhh how the hell has Carl Froch been ducking the big fights for years ? he wanted to fight Jermain Taylor, Denis Inkin, Joe Calzaghe, its not his fault that 2 of them pulled out, and the other one didn't want to fight him.

He's 31 and he's still fighting domestic level fighters. If he really had confidence in himself he would have stepped up in class years ago but he never did. When he was offered a fight with Calzaghe he bottled it.

[bambamdaddio]

are you guys forgetting who Calzaghe is?

Not a hope in hell if fought over the next 6 months ... Froch has all on in his next fight before talk of JC and even IF he comes thru that ok, JC is still far far too classy for Froch right now.

[Hunter]

I thought Lacy and Hopkins would both beat Joe..I thought Kessler and Roy had a chance (I would have put money on Joe but I thought it could go either way). He thoroughly beat down 3 of 4 and Hopkins didnt engage and chose to box slick, fake low blows, and bide time. People say the version of Hopkins that beat Pavlik would beat Joe...I think people underestimate Joe's slaps and pitipats and I think that is why Hopkins fought the way he did. I think Joe dominates Froch and Dawson to be honest...

You make things up to make froch look bad and calzaghe look good or what?

Froch has wanted a piece of calzaghe for years joe didnt want the fight not the other way round.

Calzaghe will NEVER fight Froch or Dawson NEVER b'cus he knows these 2 guys will beat him. All calzaghe has built is a record and a bank balance he aint no great no legend lets forget about this fake now and leave him in retirement where he belongs.

[BoxingsEasy]

I use to watch some calzaghe fights when he was younger he record shoudlnt even have a "0" init welsh ref welsh judges and 90% of his fights in wales is a reason why he won when he sould of lost.

He has no ko power what so ever he fights to win on points.

whos he really fought thats so good? no1.

lacy = mediocre crap
kessler= to slow to bloated fights in str8 lines
hopkins= no fight endurance at all + he an old man now
roy jones = step out of retirement ring rusted crap not fought well for 6years now.

o and dont mention eubanks he was a mentally fkd up man when he fought joe and at the end of his career just like the rest.

Joe needs to fight a young hungry lion which he will never do and has never done to be a great and a legend people need to open there eyes.

[Memphis]

Froch isnt good enough. Froch doesnt hit hard enough (dont understand this Carl Froch the power puncher line thats towed)

Calzaghe's punch resistance going? Yes he can be decked and yes he can be hurt but he STILL recovers in the blink of an eye. If his punch resistance was going he would have been in trouble with some of the other diggs he took from Jones.

Froch would get outworked and outpointed. It would all be very familiar Im affraid.

Damn, I neg repped you for the first one, but you out did yourself with this post.



Anyway, I agree with Memphis, Froch hits hard, but his fans would have you believe he's the next Julian Jackson. He's too slow with poor footwork to land anything on Joe.

I'm guessing this guy is an alt just venting a bit of Calzaghe hate. Nobody smart enough to switch a computer on is actually going to spell/punctuate like this. I wonder who this really is.

[Pugilistic]

You're stupid.

seriously though Froch doesn't stand a chance imo.

His overated ass gets schooled by Calzaghe.

[Deanrw]

If Froch even struggles with Pascal, it shows me that he is not championship caliber period.


The Hypocrisy here is amazing. Many of the same people who say Froch deserves a crack at Joe if he beats Pascal, also say Dawson is unworthy for a shot.
