Carl Froch is one of many men with a claim to being one of the best British boxers of his generation.
The super-middleweight had a long and successful career with 35 fights in all, 33 wins, 24 by way of knockout and just two losses.
He held world title belts on several occasions and beat the likes of Jean Pascal, Lucien Bute, Mikkel Kessler and Jermain Taylor, but most famously, he twice fought George Groves.
Many think he was lucky to get a stoppage win in the first fight, but in the second fight, he ended it much more conclusively with a one-punch knockout of Groves, which saw him head off into retirement.
Since then, he has remained a popular pundit and has never shied away from brutally honest opinions on the current boxing scene.
Speaking to talkSPORT Boxing, he was asked who he thinks is the best boxing Brit of all time.
“It’s between Lennox Lewis and Joe Calzaghe, it’s between them two, and it’s what you like.”
Froch has a long history with Welshman and former unified and lineal champion Calzaghe, the legendary super middleweight turned light heavyweight who won all 46 of his fights.
Although their careers overlapped for a time, they never shared the ring together, which has led to plenty of back-and-forth about who would have won over the years since.
Few would argue with Froch’s selections, as Lewis was the last undisputed heavyweight champion of the world back in 2003 before Usyk repeated the feat in May last year.
