Joe Calzaghe: "Someone Tell Carl Froch - I've Retired"
By Mark Vester
It's been a few weeks since Joe Calzaghe announced his retirment but that hasn't stopped WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch from his continued verbal jabs in the Welsh fighter's direction. Last week, Froch said that he would still be able to easily knock Calzaghe out if the two ever met in the ring.
Calzaghe's can't believe that Froch is still talking about him, especially with a huge title defense coming up against Jermain Taylor on April 25 in the United States. He says someone should inform Carl that he announced his retirement from the sport several weeks agao.
"He’s got a huge fight coming up against Jermain Taylor and could come unstuck if Taylor proves he has some heart to back his ability, but hopefully for the UK Froch will win. But why, when Carl is the only world champion we have and has a great chance to prove himself as the top super middleweight, is he once again talking about me! It’s frankly ridiculous," Calzaghe told South Wales Argus.
"He’s our only world champion and yet he is still talking trash about someone who doesn’t even fight anymore. It doesn’t bother me; he can say what he likes (as he did at the weekend, saying he’d knock me out). I don’t feel I have anything to prove to Carl Froch and I find it incredible he can’t just move on and worry about his own career."
