How long had Calzaghe been fighting before he faced a fellow champion? 12 years.
We can all punch holes in people's records.
All said and done, i'd rather watch the cobra than the slapper.

He wasn't the one who pulled out of the Inkin fight, Inkin pulled out 2 times I think. Then he just recently fought a different guy coming back from a injury, so thats Inkins fault. Froch needs to step up, and he's trying to, just gotta get a reliable opponent. I think Bute V Froch would be a good matchup. Both need some exposure.
Ha ha you twat
froch aint even a champ yet, so how can he face a fellow one
It took 4 years for Calzaghe to earn his shot at Collins, a very respected champ, he eventually fought Eubank instead, either way a tough chance to take but he took it.
Now Froch on the other hand, hes a pro for 7 years, gets a shot at Calzaghe, makes his piissy excuses and keeps crying to the papers and still no one knows who he is![]()
I agree that Froch would have done nothing for Joe C's legacy and probably didn't deserve a shot at the undisputed SM champ at this stage but reading the coverage of negotiations (which I know aren't always a true reflection of what has gone on) didn't Warren want options on Froch's future fights which if I was Froch's promoter would have completely p*ssed me off.
On the other hand, wouldnt you also have thought
"Well, fuuck Hennessy, theyve got me nowhwere in 7 years, ive got this shot for the biggest purse of my career and if I win I get a better promoter"
Now where is the part that makes you think its a bad move for Froch.
Either his promoter has totaly blind sided him with bull shit or Froch was too scared to jump in at the deep end.
Right Carl Froch has proved that he doesnt belong with dometic class and hes better than any other European fighter IMO. Inkin was a big step up, but one he needed, but he fagged it! No excuses. At the end of the day, Carl has the experience that he needs to step it up and he will fight ANYBODY at 168. Jean Pascal is his next fight and this is a step up from most of his other fighters. He will knock out Jean and when he does that he needs to keep fighting higher profile fighters. He wants to do this, there is no question in that at all.
Hes ranked WBC number 1. He wants the best, but do the best want him? I dont know, but at the end of the day somebody is going to fight Froch with a name in the next 4-5 months and we can really see how good my boy is ! He needs that little boost to put him up there and Jean Pascal is going to give him that. He may be 31, but hes better at 31 than he was at 27. So what if he has left it later on in his career, hes looking very strong for his weight and will be taking out any fighter IMO at 168.
Bring on everybody !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, im satisfied now, even Tam Sedon, Frochs biggest vocal support is agreeing that Carl needs to do some fighting.
As a fighter, I see Carl has flaws, he poses, leaves his hands low, doesnt have the reflexes to move out the way of punches with a low guard, hasnt fought a decent comp to prepare himself as hes got too used to relying on his power against opponents who are intimidated to throw. After his last fighta im not convinced hes that big a puncher either, Rybaki was blowing in the second from the very short notice but he still ended on his feet and took alot of Carls shots well.
I think Carl has left a step up too late, old dogs dont leanr new tricks, hes gonne struggle with Bute.
