gangster Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 well i dont think he fancied a go with carl froch...
The Navigator Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 well i dont think he fancied a go with carl froch... Froch would not have lived with him. Fantastic boxer who was the best we have had. Beat Eubank for his first world title who was a tremendous fighter who again Froch would not have lived with.
LISTER Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 well i dont think he fancied a go with carl froch... lol cant fault him Mick
LISTER Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 6'1" Froch, nicknamed "the Cobra," is unbeaten in 24 professional fights, with 19 knockouts. He turned professional late on at the age of 25. He stated on ITV that despite his age he is a fresh 30 year old and that he can go on for many more years to come and that he has not hit his peak yet, after presenter Jim Rosenthal asked if he was a little old to be challenging for a world title. Froch, who is trained by Robert McCracken and managed by Mick Hennessy, is the reigning WBC World super-middleweight champion. Having been rated the number 1 challenger at super-middleweight by the WBC previously and then demoted to second, he has recently regained his position as number 1 challenger and defeated Jean Pascal to take the title that Joe Calzaghe vacated when he moved up to light-heavyweight to fight Bernard Hopkins.[3] In 2004, Froch won the vacant British Championship. He has defended it against Brian Magee, Damon hague, and a number of other contenders, earning him a Lonsdale Belt outright in the process and fulfilling a long-held ambition.[citation needed] On the 9 November 2007 at the Nottingham arena he stopped veteran ex-world champion Robin Reid, after which Reid retired.

The Navigator Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 eubank was well past his sell by date Of course he was. In his prime Froch would have been knocked out.
gangster Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 i do think joe was a top fighter and made the right decision not 2 fight carl because there would be no chance if he went down that froch would let him off the hook
ribble Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 well i dont think he fancied a go with carl froch... As if.... A true legend of the ring, never ducked any one!!
gangster Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 and just 2 add i think hopkins won there fight...
The Navigator Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 i do think joe was a top fighter and made the right decision not 2 fight carl because there would be no chance if he went down that froch would let him off the hook We will never know now, but i cant see that would have happened in a million years. I like Froch very much, but in my opinion he would fall short against Joe and people like Eubank in their prime.

Guest WINGS 04 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 i think you will fiend that calzaghe had bad hands in the last few years and that is why he was not stopping ppl

Guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 calzaghe has retired ,it was on the welsh news..with an interview. ;)i think (if he sticks with it) he has made a wise move ,quit whilst ahead ,still young enough to do other things and enjoy time with his family . andy.
Guest strapper Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 well he wont be short of media work.
Roland Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 well i dont think he fancied a go with carl froch... Then he woke up and retired lol
Roland Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 underrated fighter glad he packed in on top pity dint get the mega money fights Down to fight them many times for the mega bucks ... never turned up to put it bluntly. Any way good luck to him and his new ventures, great manager, made a lot of money and a great name, what more could he ask for. Now going into TV presenter, and a Boxing promoter. I wish him again as much success as he had as a fighter.
