    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 tak

    Mmm Froch is not exactly Leonard size... Sometimes i think Froch is nervous and says any dumb thing to breathe his brain. I won't comment further.

    He is going to look pretty stoop-id when he gets another schooling from someone without stamina problems.

    Froch couldn't have been bucket boy to Hagler, Leonard or Hearns. This guy needs to put the meth down .

    Eubank would have KO'd him or wide UD...I mean c'mon, Jermained nearly beat him, was a matter of seconds. Benn would have finished him inside 3 rounds. Collins would outmuscle him over a tough 12 rounds. He compares his skills to Leonard? LOL! More like ponce de leon...his "skills" is not there.

    I think he'll beat the inexperienced Direll...however a fitter taylor beats him, Abraham KO's him, Kessler KO's him and Ward outpoints him.

    I respect his confidence but he's severly delusional ..Better chin than Hearns ? No so sure after watching him getting dropped by Taylor ..
