i feel slightly sorry for froch and heres why

[skel1983]

Also Carl fought Kess in Denmark but Joe got him at home so Im sure Carl will say if it was teh other way round Carl would have won and Joe would have lost

I look forward to hearing Joes statement. If he s a man though he will fight Carl himself instead of relying on Kessler to beat him .

Problem with that is, if Joe comes back and Froch beats him people will say he was fighting an inactive, old, washed up Calzaghe and would have never beaten the younger version. To some extent I agree (I don't think Froch beats a prime Calzaghe if they fought 10 times) but I think that fight is gone now and is best left as a "what might have been" rather than having it and then taking credibility away from Froch should he win (by no means am I saying he would either).

Yeah theres no way of knowing now and peoples opinions will be what they will be.

If Carl did fight Joe now though Id pick Carl. Joe was floored by Mitchel and Salem. He was also heavily floored by old men at the end of his career in Jones and Hopkins. Carl would have the power to hurt him but Calzaghe couldnt hurt Carl so Joe wouldnt take the risk

Calzaghe would barely loose a round to Froch, would make the Lacy fight look competitive.
