I'd much sooner Froch didn't heap more pressure on himself to perform.
The quality of opponent speaks for itself.

Still, he's never looked for the easy option and like everyone else, I can't wait to see if Froch can do the business in world class.

I've said Froch takes Calzaghe since 2003.

Nothing has yet changed my mind.

Agreed

I like Froch but lets be serious.

He's not fought anyone anywhere near Calzaghes level and with Joes chin, his punchers chance is decreased somewhat.

I also think he would struggle with the pace that Calzaghe would set.

The only way he beats JC is due to JC's age geting the better off him.

Let Carl beat some top 10 guys before calling out JC.

Yeah, but no details of the offer were made public, so it may have been a SN derogatory 10 pence bid

I am told the offer was attractive enough - but until it gets to a purse bids situation I would be stunned if either promoter relented and had their flagship fighter fighting for a rival promoters show.

TV contracts may also restrict things.

I also have to say - although it is a different "Wellington" writing these releases now - it is the same old boring drivel - very predictable drivel as well.

Hennessy is a bloody good promoter - but the press releases need an improvement - but we have been saying that now for a good 4 years.

I am sure they will listen to your advice Spud. You do, after all, have 'eight years in the sport' behind you - lucky man.
