Calzaghe vs Froch

[jangeorg]

Calzaghe-Manfredo is a joke of a fight. Calzaghe-Froch is an even bigger joke of a fight. It's funny how British fans bad mouth Manfredo (got no problem with that). Saying he's unworthy and doesn't deserve a title shot (so very true). Than turn around and say Calzaghe should fight Froch (can't even begin to explain the stupidity in that). What the F*** has this 29 year old, Ryan Rhodes in the making, so-called prospect accomplished to deserve a title shot? Not a damn thing. Yet according to the British, he's close to ATG status. It's stupidity. All of it. And you can blame one person for this. Joe Calzaghe. If he would have the balls to fight Kessler, we wouldn't hear S*** about Froch. Or Manfredo. .

Ok Joe 's legacy Manfredo Wooouv we are impressed.If joeis so goooood why the fuck not just dispose of hyped Kessler almost 2 million pounds AND A UNDENIABLE P4P position.But fact would seem to be risk/reward RISK is way to high.How do think Joe would fancy humiliation by kessler in his last fight,Joe knows kessler is the hangman the end of the road.So ignore Kessler and find some more tv-stars non boxers "what kind of fuck is 5 round fights anyway",how about Rocky Balboa next

it's not about prowess, it's about paydays.
As long as Hatton and Calzaghe keep winning they keep bringing the cameras which means Pay par view dollars etc.
Witter and Froch are good fighters but they don't bring the cameras and until they do they can forget about getting a big fight with the more famous fella's.
These decisions are made by promoters and managers who 'know' where the money is.

Its for the same reason that people would like to see Hatton Witter. Its a big domestic fight. OK Witter brings the luster of the WBC with him but people wanted this fight before he fought Corley.

Its that simple.

Even though he confused his title fight with Judah with a track meet. Witter can at least make a case. His resume is no where near great, but it has some decent stuff on it. Froch can't make a case and his resume is worst than Manfredo's. And that's saying some thing

Manfredo has lost to a Light Welterweight,
1. Froch only british boxer ever to win a world championship medal.
2. Battered Brian Magee who was due to fight Calz a while back.
3. Was due to face Lacey in UK v USA. Lacey pulled out?
4. Beat tough Henry Poras in less time than Kessler.
5. Lonsdale belt outright.

You realy think Madfredo is credible when he lost to a guy the same size as Junior Witter. Can i please have an eighth of what youve been smoking please mate.
