Froch wants Chavez Jr or GGG

I gotta admit I hate fighters ignoring their upcoming fight and looking ahead but saw this bit of news.... With his defence against George Groves less then a month away, IBF/WBA super middleweight champion Carl 'The Cobra' Froch is already talking about his next move, and has revealed that promoter Eddie Hearn has been in touch with American network HBO over a potential Vegas fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (47-1-1). But according to the Cobra, HBO would prefer him to face unbeaten middleweight boss Gennady Golovkin (27-0) in what would be a mouth watering final contest for the Nottingham champion. After Golovkin demolished Matthew Macklin back in June, Froch was mentioned as one of the few names that might be capable of coping with the Kazakh's power. Froch told the Sun: "I'm told my promoter Eddie Hearn has already spoken to the American TV company HBO about a big fight against Chavez Jnr. "But, from what I understand, HBO are more interested to see me in against Golovkin because there are not too many willing to fight him. "Sure, Golovkin is frightening but I fear no man. It would be an unbelievable super-fight that would get everybody excited - him or Chavez Jr."

I wouldn't mind either fight. GGG beats Froch for sure though nope, not at all. Dont fall for the hype.

I wonder how brave GGG fans would be if they had to put real money on the fight. I'll be here waiting for offers. Still can't look past Groves though. 50/50 fight, slight edge to Froch due to size and the unknown of GGG at SMW. Still think GGG catches him with something thunderous in the middle rounds.

Both Froch and Golovkin have talked about fighting each other. If Golovkin can get Martinez in the ring and beat him next year, make that sh*t happen. If Golovkin beat Froch, him and Ward would be a mega fight.

Groves may be a harder fight than Froch thinks it will be. Froch vs. GGG would be a great fight and I would pick GGG to win in his usual fashion. Froch has a good chin but he can be hurt and Knocked down and Taylor proved that. GGG is much better than Taylor and he hits much harder than Taylor or Froch.GGG is also harder to hit clean with big shots than Froch in my opinion.

Let him feast on Chavez... .....Froch has paid his dues and is well overdue a free lunch.

Good action fights but Froch beats both of them by either outboxing them or just out fighting them. He's taller than Golovkin and has that long jab that will keep GGG distracted, also you can't just walk through Froch's punches either. Chavez Jr just sucks. Won't even have a puncher's chance up there.

Froch dismantles Jr. Froch would be by far the biggest test GGG has ever faced very tough fight to call.

I will straight up pay to watch Froch/GGG. Fight of the year written all over it.

Would be a great fight. I'd put my money on GGG, speed, boxing ability and power most likely belong to him, although Froch has a chin of gold and is pretty awkward. I favour Golovkin too, perhaps erroneously. Froch has a reach advantage, albeit it's probably nothing GG hasn't encountered before. It would be interesting to see how Golokvin takes a shot from a 168lb opponent. I think this fight is too soon though. GG shouldn't have to move up just because the 160 division won't man up (altho. I think Murray will). It would be fitting for Britain's best current boxer to go out in a superfight against the seemingly unbeatable Gennady Golovkin. Unfortunately, it's not even close to a superfight in financial terms.

Very intriguing, Froch has always been willing to fight the best, no matter if it's home or away. I remember when Carl won a bronze at the world championships, he was a skinny, gawky looking kid who knew how to fight. I always believed he had it in him to be very good in the professional side of things but what he has accomplished is beyond anything I ever imagined. It would be fitting for Britain's best current boxer to go out in a superfight against the seemingly unbeatable Gennady Golovkin. Great end to a fairy tale career.
