Former champion Carl Froch thinks the upcoming fight with Arthur Abraham has the potential to be one of the best fights of the decade. Froch-Abraham happens on November 27 in Helsinki, Finland for the vacant WBC super middleweight title. The anticipated clash is the final bout in the third stage of Showtime's Super Six Boxing Classic.
"This fight has the potential to be one of the best of the decade based on the fact that me and Arthur are both coming to win, we're both big punchers and we're both very, very tough men," Froch said.
Froch is coming back from a close decision loss to Mikkel Kessler, which took place in the second stage of the Super Six. Abraham is also returning from a loss, by way of disqualification to Andre Dirrell. Froch doesn't view the Kessler fight as a loss. He still considers himself an unbeaten boxer because he feels the judges in Denmark robbed him of a win.
"I did enough to win that fight against Kessler so I don't feel like a loser. And justice has been done because I am fighting for my old title in my next fight. It feels like I am defending the title," Froch said.
"I don't feel the Kessler fight was a bad enough loss to take away my confidence or make me feel like I'd been beaten or outclassed. I lost a very, very close fight and most people I've spoken to since said I should have won."
