Gennady Golovkin has branded Carl Froch "another clown" after the Sky Sports expert claimed GGG "needs to fight somebody".

Froch has laughed off suggestions he could come out of retirement to take on Golovkin, who extended his unbeaten record to 36-0 in beating Kell Brook in September.

But Britain's former super-middleweight world champion is convinced he would beat GGG "here and now" and says the middleweight king's CV is lacking the kind of "credible" big-name opponents to make him a Hall of Famer.

That suggestion has angered Golovkin, who wrote on Twitter: "Hey you! Carl Froch don't judge who is credible or not. You are another clown who talks too much without stepping up to actually do things."

Golovkin stopped Brook in five rounds in September after the IBF welterweight champion jumped two divisions to take the fight.

The weight mismatch meant it was "not exactly a fair fight", according to Froch, who pinpointed Andre Ward as the kind of opponent Golovkin should be targeting.
