:lol: Funny stuff.

Froch should get himself a column somewhere and headline it "You're a prick, Frank"

It's also funny how Froch's worst (and Mack really isn't that bad) opponent in years would be Cleverly's best by miles.

Last thing but I like how he slips in an advert to subscribe to wanknation even though Froch's fight isn't on it.

Edit: No.. one final thing. The "Froch swerved a fight with Calzaghe. Twice." line is too funny as well. After everything Froch has done now he still isn't that good according to fish-eyes yet Warren tried to match the mighty Joe Calzaghe up with him, twice, when Froch had done nothing to earn that fight. :lol:

Roe: "You're a cunt, Frank"

:deal also id bet the calzaghe thing is bullshit, why would froch duck calzaghe, a man he was desperate to face but take on all comers after him?

:lol: What? Froch was desperate for that fight before he'd even fought Pascal. When did Warren want it? When Froch was 5 and 0???

Apparently Froch was offered the fight a couple of times but the rumours were that it was ridiculously low money and Froch was making more with British title defences. If he was even offered the fight at all.

I suspect it was the sort of thing where Mick asked for the fight, Frank replied with an insulting offer with options lasting until the end of Carl's career, and they turned it down.

And lets remember, no one really gave a shit about Calzaghe-Froch back then so I don't expect the lesser known Frochs challengers end of the purse was ever going to amount to that much.
Yep, only Carl and Mick were calling for it. He hadn't beaten anyone of note. Even Pascal was a contender-level guy who had looked a bit shaky against Omar Pittman in his previous fight. Where was the incentive for Joe to fight Carl when there was no money in the match?

No way Carl would have accepted the fight at that stage. He knew he'd lose, it was all just a pose to make himself seem avoided.

Thing is DF, I bet in a few years people will look at the Calzaghe/ Froch timeline on Boxrec and be amazed they never met. It'll look for all the world like Calzaghe ducked Froch, Froch quotes about wanting the fight will be posted up, Calzaghe fighting Manfredo "instead" (like thats how boxing works!?!!) of Froch etc......can't wait!

Yeah that kind of thing, I think it was around the time when Joe was fighting Bika and Manfredo Jr. when this was being mentioned.

Franks column really does make me chuckle sometimes though.

Just read wazza's s*n column (not on their website, just on the FW website) and it's quite ironic how his comments (which are extremly out of order, considering froch outshines anything any of his fighters have done) are followed by a snippet about cleverly. Now Wazza bangs on about how abraham and taylor were long in the tooth middelweights. Shall we make a comparison of those two, who were genuine world champion versus cleverly last fights v hawk, kapency and bellew, who all, with the greatest of respect could not at this moment in time hold a candle to the likes of taylor and abraham.
I think that it is highly disrespectful to a current, legit world champ. He must be soooo bitter that he never got a bite of froch when he left hennesy. Wazza does a lot of good things for boxing, but doesn't half let himself down with some of the bull shit he comes out with in his column.

Warren has been bitter about Haye and Froch since they turned over and didn't sign with him all those years ago. He is a bitter, deluded bellend.

Agree for the most part, but Froch is no more a world champion than Cleverly is.
