Just read an article from the News Of the World.... Good lord.atsch CARL FROCH wishes he had been born 20 years earlier because it would have meant beatings for ring legends Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard. You might think the WBC super-middleweight champion has taken too many shots with such wild boasts, but the outspoken boxer isn't around to win popularity contests. Froch, 32, said: "Top fighters at top level can fight each other 10 times and it isn't going to be 10-0 to one man. I would have been in the mix with Hagler, Hearns and Leonard. Hagler was a fighter and a brawler and I can do that, but I can also box, use my range and boxing skills. "I'd have not quite done a Sugar Ray Leonard on him but done half a Leonard and half a Hearns. It would have been a mixture of the two. "I have a better chin than Hearns and I have got some of Leonard's skills. Domestically, Chris Eubank was skilful but crude. Nigel Benn was just a brawler, Steve Collins was just a tough brawler. I don't consider them to have been that hot and I could have beaten all three. "I would have been a massive superstar in that era." Nottingham's Froch, unbeaten in all 25 fights, believes he will finally get recognition if he wins the £30million Super Six World Boxing Classic. He must win five fights inside the next 18 months against rivals including Mikkel Kessler and Arthur Abraham to be crowned king. The Cobra's first fight in the event to discover the world's top 12-stoner is against the American Andre Dirrell at the Trent FM Arena in Nottingham on Saturday. That's followed by Kessler in Copenhagen next March, and Abraham in Britain. The other contestants are Jermain Taylor and Andre Ward. Each boxer will have three bouts against different opponents in the group stage. A win will be worth two points with one point bonus for a KO or stoppage. A draw will be worth one point. The top four will go into the semi-finals, where the points leader will box the fourth-placed fighter. The final is due to take place in early 2011.
He's completed Street Fighter, far to many times....with the player Ryu. Carl is getting abit carried away..
At least Froch comes to fight, unlike Dirrell who just runs, holds, complains and falls down on canvas.
This is why i never liked Froch when before he became champ, very arrogant and all he talked about was how he would beat Calzaghe. But, when he talks in an interview or when he is doing commentary i think he comes across very well, but him saying he'd beat Hagler, Eubank, Benn and Collins is a bit silly at the moment as he has only had 2 defences and he's barely scraped past the 2 fighters.
Don't worry lads. He's going to get humiliated by Kessler, knocked cold by Abraham and then he'll **** off back to the obscurity he never ventured too far from in the first place.
A fighter can only be the best of his time, so Froch is just pissing in the wind with this kind of hype and needs to concentrate on winning the unification series (it hurts me to call it the Super Six) to the best now.
