Former super middleweight champion Carl Froch and Youtube star turned boxer, Jake Paul, have traded words more than their fair share of words.

Froch has never been convinced with Paul's abilities as a legit professional fighter.

He believes his opinion was solidified earlier this year, when Paul lost an eight round decision to unbeaten light heavyweight prospect Tommy Fury.

Fury, the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is widely viewed as a novice who is learning on the job.

Paul is now scheduled to see action on August 5th, in a fight with MMA icon Nate Diaz.

The 45-year-old Froch, who retired from boxing in 2014, would be more than willing to enter the ring for a fight with Paul.

"I’m interested in fighting Paul - it would be like a suitcase of free money. I would always be interested in fighting someone who can’t fight like Jake Paul. It's like someone giving you a suitcase full of money - you won’t say no. I would train for it, I stay in the gym anyway and keep myself in good shape. Right now I am 45 and I retired at 36-37. There is a reason that I retired as after a certain age, the weight cut becomes way too difficult," Froch said to OLBG.

"I wouldn’t make the weight for Jake Paul - I would be 14 stone. If a fight was on the cards - which it isn’t because Paul realised he can’t fight after losing to Tommy Fury and he wasn’t even British level at the time, then I would fight him because like I said before it is easy money. Also the risk and reward ratio makes sense. The reason why I didn't fight again is because the money wasn’t what I needed, my health was at risk and I have three kids. With Jake Paul, there is little to no risk.

"Anderson Silva could have done way better against Jake Paul. He is an MMA legend and to me it didn’t look like he tried. From a trained eye, it didn’t look like a full performance. Jake Paul tried against Tommy Fury and realized very quickly that he can’t fight against a novice pro. For Jake Paul he was in a win-win situation, because if he wins people will take him more seriously but if he doesn’t win, everyone will say that 'he fought a professional fighter.' It is an excuse.

"He was beaten really easily by Tommy Fury though - who once again, isn’t even British Level. That’s no disrespect to Tommy Fury, anyone will tell you the same. You wouldn’t put him in with the British Champion at light heavyweight at the minute, would you? Jake Paul thought he would be brilliant against Tommy Fury and fight for a WBC belt. He is absolutely useless and he can’t fight."
