By Adam McMeeking: “Tatevosyan is a good opponent for me right now. He has fought a few good names, so if I can do a good job on him it will send out a message”, Carl Froch explained, as per Eurosport in March, 2007, attempting to justify a potential clash with super middleweight king, Ring Magazine champion, Joe Calzaghe.
Froch readily admitted that, a “good opponent” for him at this point in his career, was Tatevosyan.
