Carl Froch asking his fans to choose his next opponent on Facebook.

ggg would be great, chavez would be pretty good ... either way froch has earned the right to go for the money but if by some chance he did actually go for GGG I'd literally bust a nut

Facebook isn't entirely public opinion though, is it? It's narrowed down to the people who follow him on Facebook or people who've been told through boxing forums like this one....i.e mostly hardcore fans. Ask casual fans in the UK (even the US) if they know who Gennady Golovkin is and they wouldn't have a clue. Good point. I actually don't think Froch would choose Golovkin over Chavez next because of the amount of money he would get for a JCC Jr fight, but to be fair.... quite a few casuals in the US are starting to get to know Golovkin. (don't know about UK, you would know)

Well he did kinda ask '' who do you want me to fight'' And liking the picture was the only way to tell him. I'd give Froch mad props, if he goes on to respect the public opinion and fights Froch. Unlike Mayweather.

It will probably be Chavez jr. regardless of the outcome of the poll. More money and easier fight for froch.

It's not even a "poll", is it? Lol....people are just liking a photo on facebook. Well i guess technically its not a poll, but he asks "who wants?" Golovkin, Chavez, and Degale in three seperate posts. It's off his official facebook page (though I don't know if hes the one who runs it)

You mean the winner of this poll really isn't going to fight Froch? It's not even a "poll", is it? Lol....people are just liking a photo on facebook.

:lol1: @ dweebs thinking they're voting on a real poll You mean the winner of this poll really isn't going to fight Froch?

Wow GGG was down by like 4000 at one point to Chavez. Who's the NSBer who spent all day making accounts to put Golovkin #1? lol

GGG 13,121 Chavez Jr. 11,927 Degale 7,752 GGG is winning the poll,,... But would Froch do a Mayweather?

GGG - 11938 Jr - 11673

Ggg pic in the lead, but ultimately I don't think it means anything

Will they delete it before GGG takes the lead or end up with a case where the fans have said GGG but he does a floyd and fights chavez anyway? Is it Froch's account? if so, he won't delete anything. Shows that the domestic clash with Degale isn't nearly as big as the others, Froch is correct in saying that it seems. It is as big, bigger in fact, just not as popular with the hardcores. Groves wasn't massively famous himself and the first fight was still quite big. Obviously Groves being a Brit helps. He did 11,000 against DeGale and there was a lot of bad blood in the build-up which helped sell it. What Golovkin really needs is a fight in the UK to build his name here, Murray would be an obvious opponent but Andy Lee a decent name-builder too. Casuals have never heard of him. It is the equivalent of McClellan coming over to fight Benn, the general public didn't know who he was but they knew Eubank, Benn, Watson etc.

Golovkin is now in the lead Golovkin 11, 596 Chavez Jr 11, 585 Degale 7,530

I have no doubt Froch would fight GGG, ideally Hearn wants Chavez though. Less risk and higher reward. But I would love to see Froch fight GGG. Also, would be good for Kessler to get a good win under his belt and we can have a decider in the summer.

Now it's about 100 likes separating GGG from Chavez Jr.

Ward is going to be super p*ssed if Froch and GGG have a super $$$ fight. I disagree with the money side though, think with the right marketing a GGG fight could be huge in England. Groves wasn't massively famous himself and the first fight was still quite big. Enter Golovkins knockout showreel and his backstory for an EPIC buildup. Plus we already know Chavez Jr would lure Golovkin to Super Middle, so we know he could come up so the only roadblock is Hearn saving Frochs health. I agree, I think they underrestimate GGG's selling power. I think he's got pretty good recognition lately and the hypetrain is in full swing.

Chavez because I like Froch and he deserves some easy nights once in a while and if we fans don't make him, he just doesn't take them it seems. GGG would be one of the most intruiging fights in boxing. For me it would be the perfect end to a glorious carreer. So it can way a couple of fights. GGG will only become bigger, especially because of HBO. Froch GGG would be a sellout anywhere very soon.
