The domestic feud continues between WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan and WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch. Khan touched on the feud a few weeks ago in the British press, stating that Froch's constant negative comments are part of the reason that he wants to leave the country and make a full move to the United States.
Khan told doghouseboxing.com that he doesn't really respect Froch because of his trash talking and always putting down other fighters.
"Me and Carl have our differences. I don’t really respect the guy because I think whoever he fights he disrespects after the fight, he needs to take the sport more professionally and I don’t like fighters who just talk rubbish and trash to their opponents. It’s a sport and people have to realize that before the fight you are not friends but after the fight you can say at least one good thing about your opponent," Khan said.
"He has said some very bad things about his opponents. He is a very bad person. He has even said some bad things about me because I’m at a different weight. They come out of the blue and maybe it’s because we have different promoters. He is always on the dig about me and my boxing skills. I think it’s more jealously than anything so really I don’t like him but I just mind my own business and I really hope that one day he will mind his own business as well."
Khan states that Froch got lucky that his Super Six tournament bout against Andre Dirrell was held in Nottingham. He viewed it as a very close fight. He sees the luck of Froch running out when he climbs in the ring against opponents like Arthur Abraham.
"You know, Carl’s last fight against Dirrell was very, very, close and I felt that he had an advantage with the judges because the fight was in his own backyard, but that’s boxing for you. Arthur Abraham is a very difficult hard hitting opponent. He is very durable and very active in a fight and I think he will definitely cause serious problems for Carl Froch. The Super Six tournament is a tough tournament and I think that down the line he is working for that defeat," Khan said.
