Calzaghe was right about Froch

[Bomp]

The only reason Joe could be considered ducking was because he was taking on household names and making a truck load rather than a pitence against Froch in comparison.

Im not a big froch fan but i know that frochs management and promoter offered calzaghe a 5million purse which was rejected 2 or 3yrs ago. Now,if JC thought Froch was out of his league and was so confident of beating him, why didnt he make himself the easiest money he ever made. In my opinion its a no-brainer, you take the money

Exactly. Why did Calzaghe fight people like Peter Manfredo and not fight Carl Froch? Strange.

We'll see how good Froch is when he fights Kesler.

I wouldn't read too much into that last fight. Direl would have made a lot of decent boxers look shit with his run and hold tactics.

Froch was recovering from thumb surgery when Joe fought Manfredo, Froch got offered a career high purse to be next in linebut bottled it circa May-June 2007, when Joe was also chasing Taylor who demanded $10m (and who's coach at the time said himself they weren't ready for a guy who throws as much punches as Joe).

Calzaghe's next fight was against a unified SM champ, but of course some moron might argue he should have faced a mediocre crow-nosed novice from Nottingham instead.
