"Froch doesn't need the money" vs "Khan is ****** to turn down $5 million"

[b00g13man]

I still don't know which wins on Carl Froch's resume are better then Alexander, Maidana and Algeri.

What's the difference between someone like Lucian Bute and someone like Paul McClotskey?

The Khantard jealousy is real

Khan was a celebrated amatuer and hyped to the moon but got absolutely flattened by the first puncher he came up against and his career has underwhelming.

Froch was an unheralded fighter who was forced to fight off UK TV at times but still amassed more respect, a better resume and higher career earnings than poor little Amir.

Muh charity work doe! Muh net worth doe!

On this forum I've seen a lot of funny comments, and something that I've found amusing is how everyone mentions Froch has made enough money fighting Groves so he doesn't need to fight anymore but in Khan's case he's ****** to turn down $5million. In terms of legacy turning the fight down isn't the best move but purely from a financial perspective, Froch has a net worth of $20 million whereas Khan has a net worth of $30 million. To summarise, money should not be the main enticement for Khan to fight Brook this summer but rather to establish himself back at the top of British boxing and the top of 147.

I agree completely!

Khan has done more in his 20s than Froch did and I'm a bigger fan of Froch. But the truth is always the truth. Khan deserves respect but I guess his flaunting of his wealth and his personality may have annoyed people...actually I think it's his skin colour and religion. The truth hurts.

But, Khan beating Brook would be great for his legacy, make him a two weight champ, the 3 rd best welter outside of TB and MP. Problem is, he won't get the credit he deserves, the same problem was seen post Madiana or Judah or Alexander, when tonnes of people were predicting KOs. So, it's a damned if he does, damned if he doesn't scenario with Khan.

I'm still waiting to hear these great victories of Carl Froch that are better then anything on Khan's resume.

Net celebrity worth? Good source.

Froch is a retired late 30s fighter who made 10million quid in his last fight. Khan is a late 20s active fighter who's best payday is 1.5 million dollars.

Totally different.

Froch turned pro at 25-26, Khan turned pro at 18. So yeah. not hard.

Anyone who thinks Khan has achieved even remotely close to what Froch has, is completely delusional .

Pascal, Taylor, Kessler, Dirrell, Abraham, Bute, Johnson, Groves. Froch's resume speaks for itself. He fought everyone and ducked no one in his weight class.

The only guy to have convincingly beaten him is Ward on points whereas Khan was almost put in a coma by a Colombian goat herder.

And those victories are better then Maidana, Alaxander, Algeri, Judah, Malinagi, Kontelyk and Collazo?

Khan has beaten more champions then Froch (8 to 7 respectively). Khan was regarded as the number one guy in his division. Froch wasn't.

That's not to say Khan has done more, as Froch has beaten Pascal, Kessler, Bute with Khan falling slightly behind with regards to Maidana, Judah or Alexander/Malignaggi. But Khan still has at least 3-4 years left in his career, which will mean he'll chalk up better wins.

So if you respect Froch for his achievements, you'll have to respect Khan for his, as they're very close.
