IBF Super-Middleweight champion Carl Froch has taken a new swipe at boxing great Joe Calzaghe via the Daily Star by claiming his legacy has already surpassed that of the Welsh greats. Froch has taken digs at Calzaghe for years now which the future hall of famer has laughed off.
"I don’t like to talk Joe Calzaghe down but when you look at his career and the people he has beaten who are unbeaten, then I’ve fought more unbeaten fighters than Joe Calzaghe, more than anyone in Britain as world champion. I’m taking unbeaten people’s scalps and fighting at a higher level. Calzaghe has two or three names which stand out on his record. I’ve got ten or 12," said Froch.
Froch and Calzaghe have both beaten 5 unbeaten fighters each.
"As far as I’m concerned, my legacy has already superceded Joe Calzaghe’s – and I’ve got to say the great, phenomenal Joe Calzaghe, who retired unbeaten. People will say, ‘Yes, but he beat Mikkel Kessler’. I can answer that but I’m not going to, because it will look bitter. To beat Kessler, would that silence the critics? You’ll never, ever silence the critics. Floyd Mayweather Jnr gets stick and he’s the unbeaten pound-for-pound best. So if you think me beating Kessler is going to stop the critics, no fucking chance. An atom bomb won’t stop the critics. I’ve improved, I’ve fought at a better level, so I’m in a better position in terms of a re-match than he is," continued Froch.
The Froch and Calzaghe debate has raged on for years with the majority of people in favour of the Welshman. Joe Calzaghe retired unbeaten as one of the very best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport while being rated number 1 in the world at both Super-Middleweight and Light-Heavyweight. Carl Froch has of course never been rated number 1 in the world at any weight and has a loss against Calzaghe victim, Mikkel Kessler, which he will be looking to avenge on May 25th at London's O2 Arena infront of a sold out crowd.
It has.
