Well Calzaghe offered to fight RJJ about 7 or 8 years ago but Jones refused.

Froch has offered money to fight Calzaghe but it seems as though he has turned it down, maybe Calzaghe thinks he has bigger fish to catch. I would imagine RJJ felt the same way and he was right.

If both fighters had come up against each other in their prime, Jones would win 9 times out of 10.

I'm glad they didn't though, because we would never have seen Calzaghe's showman dance.

I'm not 100% sure how good Froch is. I don't actually think he's in the same league as Calzaghe and I think he'd struggle with Kessler. What I do know though is everytime I've seen him fight it's been entertaining as f**k. Saturday night was probably the best of the lot.
I know it's not a great technique but I love his unorthodox style, the way his jab comes from all sorts of silly angles and the way he looks for that huge right hand single punch alot of the time.

And also I'm not sure if he's supremely arrogant or just trying to convince himself that he is a "warrior" etc.

Carl who? Who's that guy? Nah.

Froch is a long way off deserving a fight with me, he has to join the list.

Spot on.

If it says it in the Sun I don't really believe it! I thought they hated each other and have done for years ??
