Carl Froch delivered a devastating knockout to George Groves at Wembley Stadium, and it's safe to say he has earned the right to do whatever he wants, and he's living by that right. The world champion boxer has laughed off the idea of a rematch with Groves and he has laughed off the idea of fighting James DeGale. He'll retire if he fails to get a bout against Gennady Golovkin or Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The British boxer wants a Las Vegas showdown, and if not it appears he'll walk away before risking his legacy in a domestic battle.

He explained: "My legacy is at stake. You've got to give the fans what they want and from what I'm hearing, that's not DeGale. It's a massive risk in terms of whether anybody wants to see it. The problem is he hasn't fought anybody. The hardcore boxing fan might want to see the fight, but I've crossed over to the mainstream now. The more I hear him talking rubbish and nonsense with his manager Ambrose Mendy, the more it puts me off. Not only is [it] not really a big fight, I'd also have to spend three-and-[a]-half months listening to another pair of plonkers. I deserve more respect than that."

He continued,"You can't be anything but impressed with him. But he's doing it against mediocre opposition. He looks great, but you can't judge him fully because he hasn't been in with the elite. Also, he's not yet pay-per-view and what I don't want to do is talk about a middleweight, who's smaller than me and is not talking about me. The fight that does make sense is Chavez. He's walking around two stone heavier than me and is 100 percent pay-per-view and would provide me with the motivation I need at this stage of my career."

He finished, saying, "If I don't get the fight I want, I will happily retire. I've had a wonderful, glossy, fantastic career and I have nothing left to prove. I've not been given anything on a plate, I've had to fight every step of the way."

Will he get his way? Comment below!
