Froch vs Calzaghe

[cityofgod]

...this fight should never happen.

They will have to evacuate Wales, the floods of tears would be that high.

Froch is too accurate, too conditioned and most of all too powerful for Calzaghe.

If Joe threw those flapping shots at the Cobra he would be eating the right uppercut once and only once.

Joe looked flabby & shabby at 175lb, he looked smooth and lacked any bonus muscularity in the higher class.

Enzo would have a melt down as Froch clocked Joke with hard shot after hard shot :|

Give up the belts Joe, as we all expect you to, then cite "you don't need titles at this stage of your career" and then fight that shell of Roy Jones for your 'legacy' LMAO.

How was the fight live? Was it worth it?(Stupid question!)

[HOF]

...this fight should never happen.

But the chances are that it will happen. I mean how is Joe going to be able to resist pitting himself against such an unbeaten 22 fight 30 year old prospect at this stage of his career?!?!

[mstar]

It was always one of the things I wanted to do: See Calzaghe live in Vegas against a big name. It didn't disappoint really. I actaully enjoyed the fight which may come as a surprise to some but we always knew it wasn't exactly going to be a Gatti-Ward type of affair. The price was steep but the whole weekend was brilliant.. well worth whatever I paid and however many dollars I lost in the casinos!

Glad to hear you had a good time. I too enjoyed the fight, it may not have been a classic but was exciting for different reasons. Did you take any pictures or bring back any memorabilia?

Just the usual shit with the $30 (!!!!) programmes, a couple of casino chips with Calzaghe and Hopkins on. Stayed in the Signature at MGM Grand.. nice suites, great apples in the lobby.

I'll post a couple of short video clips I took in a mo. Nothing exciting but I captured the moment when Hopkins pirate got caught.

Calzaghe's thunderous shot to the bollocks - I think the crowd reaction sums it up best.

[Beeston Brawler]

I'm glad to see Hennessy Sports have a representative on ESB - spouting the usual shite that appears on your web site.

Classic.

Classic. Were you posting on here when they used to start a new thread about every little thing that happened down there? That really pissed me off. VIP's weekly updates are fine and unintrusive but fuck me they were starting threads like 'Froch claims he has too much power for Groenewold'....It got to a stage where about 3/4 of the page was there stupid threads. In the end the Jeffro and a small elite unit of ESB misery bags told them to 'fuck off!'.

[Max Molyneux]

A right uppercut Is too slow to catch Calzaghe, It's a straight right that does, how many more morons buy Into Froch and Hennessey's bullshit.

I wouldn't mind the fight though as Froch would get schooled and Hennessey as usual would be daft enough to throw his fighters Into the lions den when there clearly not good enough like with Walker Vs Karmazin.

Probably not.....

I had a quick look on their website earlier today, and have found some classics.......

Hennessy believes Witter’s task against Harris is more difficult than the one Manchester’s unbeaten Hatton faced when he stopped Mexican Jose Luis Castillo in four rounds in America in June.

“I think what Ricky did by going out to Las Vegas and stopping Castillo the way he did was brilliant, but I feel Junior has got a tougher opponent in front of him on September 7th,” said Hennessy.

“Harris is a far harder opponent than Castillo who wasn’t I believe a proven fighter at light-welterweight like Harris is, who is a former world champion in this division and big at the weight.

“Harris is a dangerous opponent and this is a chance for Junior to really make a name for himself in a competitive world title fight.

“This could be an explosive fight and if Junior wins – which I’m confident he will do in style – then the public will be demanding a fight between Witter and Hatton like never before, what ever the outcome of Ricky against Floyd Mayweather.


>> Hatton will make far more money fighting me than Castillo or N’Dou.
>> We have the longest rivalry in boxing today.


“Nothing else makes sense for Hatton apart from this fight, unless he is scared. Unless he knows what I do, that I will knock him out. If he decides he wants it, the only other issue is timing.
“There is a window of opportunity here, but if we are not careful we are going to miss it and this fight will never happen.”
“If we are going to meet, it has to be this summer. This fight has to take place in a football stadium. It makes sense to go to his backyard and I have never had a problem with doing that.
“That obviously can’t happen in the winter and if anyone thinks this fight can wait until 2008 they are badly mistaken. Someone will have caught up with Hatton by then. If he wants the biggest fight of his career, he has to step up now.
“I suspect he won’t. That’s fine. I can concentrate on securing my own legacy without having the fact that I avoided potentially the biggest fight in British Boxing history on my conscience. “But if he doesn’t, I think he has to go down as a bottler. I know he’s just had his annual ‘s**t shirt’ competition, but perhaps it should have been ‘s**t pants’ instead, as he would have won that hands down this year. That’s all he seems to do when my name is mentioned.”

“I’m not thinking that far ahead,” he stressed. “I want to get that green belt round my waist first. Mayweather has to fight me before the end of June and I will start making decisions after that. I am sure that there will be plenty of opportunities once I am champion, but I will leave Mick to handle that.”


“If I can beat Tatevosyan, a final eliminator for Joe’s title could be in the pipeline. That would then make a fight with Joe even more of a possibility.
“If I become his mandatory challenger, he will have to face me or give up the world title he has had for ten years. There should be no hiding then. Then people will acknowledge I’m world class and start demanding the fight to happen. “Calzaghe will not be happy with himself retiring with me on his case saying he should fight me. He’s a proud man and he shouldn’t want to give up the belt to avoid fighting me. But maybe he’s looking to just make a fortune in the easiest way possible before he retires.

“Wasn’t Ashira down to fight Takaloo a few years ago at light middleweight? He definitely looked two weight divisions below Calzaghe.”

‘The Cobra’ may have been dismayed by the obvious disparity in size between WBO champion and challenger, but he was far from surprised.

“I have come to expect Joe to pick on easy targets,” Froch added. “I believe he is nothing but a bully

Classics.

It's always the fucking same about how hard done by they are, how everyone is ducking them, how they could beat anyone etc.

[hitman_hatton1]

froch is far too disjointed to ever beat a consistent worker like calzaghe. :bbb

[achillesthegreat]

Froch certainly would not beat Calzaghe. What madness.

[Max Molyneux]

Wellington from Hennessey sports posted this on boxrec.:lol:

Carl Froch says he will produce a better performance than Joe Calzaghe did at the weekend in his WBC Super-Middleweight Title Final Eliminator against Denis Inkin (Russia) at the Trent FM Nottingham Arena on May 10.

British champion Froch (22-0) 18 KO’s was not overly impressed by Clazaghe's points win over Bernard Hopkins in Las Vegas on Saturday.

'Cobra' Froch (Nottingham, England) fights Inkin live on ITV1 in the UK and on a slight delay on a ShoBox special in the US for the right to be the next mandatory challenger for the WBC title held by Calzaghe.

"I've been a big Calzaghe fan down the years and I obviously wanted him to win, but it was a terrible performance from him and I thought Hopkins did enough on the night," said Froch.

"Calzaghe was messy and inaccurate with his punches. Nothing really landed on Hopkins. I thought Calzaghe got beat”.

"To be fair to Joe styles make fights and Hopkins was just looking to spoil later on, but I intend to give a better performance against Inkin. I'm treating this as a world title fight even though it is a final eliminator because I think Joe would rather give up the belt than fight me, I’m to fresh and to dangerous."

Also on the Hennessy Sports bill is Junior Witter's (Bradford, England) next defence of his WBC Light-Welterweight Title against his mandatory challenger Timothy Bradley (Palm Springs, USA).

[Beeston Brawler]

I wonder how Junior Witter feels fighting on the undercard of a title eliminator?

I really like Froch as a fighter, and when the subject isn't 'Joe Calzaghe.......' he comes across as an intelligent, if rather opinionated, individual. The statement about treating the contest as a title fight rather than eliminator is rather foolish - this is not an interim matchup, therefore he has no claim to being a champion. Calzaghe hasn't indicated that he is definitely giving up supermiddle and has talked of a fight with Pavlik, who is a WBC middleweight champ - so no doubt Mr Sulaiman will be in a pickle very shortly if Joe opts for Pavlik!

Rather like Sports Network with the WBO, Hennessy seems obsessed with the WBC - if Froch wins there will be no unification matches, it will be mandatories all the way ala Witter. All this about most prestigious etc, total bollocks. The fighter makes the belt for me. Granted, the green belt looks better, only because a WBO belt looks crap, even next to a WBU one!

Think Froch and Witter are co-headlining that bill now and Murray's fight heads up the undercard.

[Decebal]

Froch is too accurate, too conditioned and most of all too powerful for Calzaghe.

If Joe threw those flapping shots at the Cobra he would be eating the right uppercut once and only once.



Calzaghe wide lacying UD Froch

[Uzi Wong]

Carl Froch hasn't done anything to deserve a shot at Joe. The biggest name on his record is Robin Reid and if anyone saw that fight i think its clear that Reid had nothing left. Besides that he's beaten no one.

[kurt2006]

Alas, the great Froch is being avoided again for the likes of legends... sigh!

It was because of Froch that Bhops by-passed the SMW division. Apparently years ago Roy Jones Junior saw a clip of Froch and he soon jumped up to LHW and then HW.

Everyone is scared of Froch.

[achillesthegreat]

Carl Froch told Joe Calzaghe that he is MESSY and INACCURATE???

IS HE HAVING A FUCKING BUBBLE?

UZI thats exactly what i thought when i looked at his record the only person i considered a top fighter on his record was reid where and how did fotch get no1 contender??? :huh :huh
did i miss something while froch was fighting in nottingham in front of his chav mates and family??? did he beat anyone ranked in the top 5 for WBC, WBO, IBF etc??

Besides that he's beaten no one.To deserve a shot at Joe nowadays, you need to have at least been a runner-up on 'The Contender'. Froch has never even been on the 'The Contender'.

[mstar]

steve but who has froch faught thats what UZI is saying

[Beeston Brawler]

:lol:

I must admit that Froch would have given Calzaghe a much sterner test than Manfredo The Great!

And also, with Froch being a rather honest chap, perhaps when beaten he would have the guts to admit it, instead of squealing like a little bitch.

[Steve Fox]

steve but who has froch faught thats what UZI is sayingProbably the same sort of standard JC fought prior to Eubank, but I'm not sure.
