froch claimed that lennox lewis is the only british fighter who may have a better legacy than him. calzaghe pretty much said that that was a joke of a statement.

i agree with calzaghe. although calzaghe was a good fighter with a weird all time standing (because of his dominance, yet lack of opposition), he is definitely better than froch all time. there is no question about it. also, even though the UK isnt known for their boxers necessarily, they have had some legit fighters through the years that are definitely better than froch like ted kid lewis, randy turpin, ken buchannon, naseem hamed, ricky hatton, and....a little man named jimmy wilde.

yes froch, you are better than jimmy wilde but may not be better than lennox lewis. you need to learn your own country's boxing history.

Are you kidding about the The Mighty Atom comment? He was 132 and 4 with 98 KO's. As to Froch, there are more than Lennox Lewis and Calzaghe to contend with as far as British legacy and greatness are concerned.


**Edit**

I see you have Wilde as a better Brit. Sorry.

Hell, Henry Cooper was a better fighter than Carl Froch. That left hook of Henry's was a gem. The problem was, he would bleed like a damn blood bank when he got hit. Frank Bruno was a decent boxer until he caught up with Mike Tyson. All these guys were better than Froch whose statements are a Crock of shit.

Also, wasn't Nigel Benn from England along with a guy named Chris Eubank? Carl's comments are a joke.

Shame on Froch for believing in himself. I think he should be rated higher than Calzaghe.

i dont mind people believing in themselves but there is a line that should be drawn. froch is nowhere near the greatest british boxer ever. him thinking that lewis is also shows his lack of knowledge of his own country's fighters.

Its thats arrogance and belief that he has that wins him tough fights imo. I think its a good thing.

Agreed, all top level athletes have to be arrogant in order to win. If they don't believe in themselves nobody will. Also no being confident or cocky will lose them most contests before they begin. That's fine and dandy, they just have to realize that there will be writers and fans that will think otherwise if they choose to express their opinions.

If you are a hockey nerd, it's the conference finals, Bruins-Pens tonight, Hawks-Kings on Sunday, all four teams are the last four champs.
