Some posters said earlier that GGG would beat everyone on Ward's resume. I gotta disagree.
Let's not forget Froch went to war with Prime Ward and took him to hell and back that night.

Golovkin is good but he is way too small to hurt Froch IMO.

Ultimately I see Froch walking away with both his girl and GGG's belt like the alpha stallion he is.

GGG beats a prime froch for sure! Froch is taller and has longer reach but GGG is better technically and even against movers, seems to give them issues and would beat him via decision.
Froch is not a skillful wizard. It's a bad matchup for him. Genna is better technical fighter + hits just as hard, probably harder.
Genna by UD or even late stoppage.
On the one hand yes, on the other hand I think this Olympics proved the Ams ain't no joke.
2 totally different styles of boxing.....the olympic medallist arent used to fighting 10 rounds and get their ass handed to them by the pros...it works both ways
either way amatuer results count for nothing in the pros
this isn't prime GGG tho, dude is also 34 (i think), he was probably in his prime 6 years ago, too bad he started the professional game too late, so we really don't know where GGG's prime is either
but GGG now loses to a prime froch
In a word... yes. GGG's jab is amazing, and when he wants to so is his defense. GGG would beat Froch to the punch every time. It would look like Froch/Groves except that GGG doesn't fade late like Groves, nor does he have a glass chin/body.
Froch comes strong late in fights but GGG is not one to be easily wilted and I suspect that a very frustrated Froch will over-commit in a punch and get knocked out.
There's a reason Froch is on the list of guys that ducked GGG.
He knew what would happen to him.
....amatuer wins dont count in the pros...
you dont get credit for amateur fights in the pro's man
On the one hand yes, on the other hand I think this Olympics proved the Ams ain't no joke.
KO wins by GGG or he hurts Froch badly and wins a decision. Froch himself knows it, that's why Froch retired instead of facing GGG in his backyard.
This.
GGG beats them all, struggles with Ward but might even hurt him too
GGG has done nothing to suggest he could beat a prime Carl Froch. Of course my opinion can change before his career is over, but as of right now, I don't see it.
There's too many questions regarding GGG to make a solid prediction on this one but I'll take the good big man over the good, slightly smaller man.
My problem picking GGG here is that he's often available to be hit. He's handled it without problem in the past but Carl is far above GGGs opponents in skill and power so that's a legit concern.
Also, I don't see Froch as a guy who was easily cut off or stalked, especially not by a shorter guy. But, in fairness to Golovkin, that's one of those things we'd have to see in action. Really hard to predict as it is one of his talents.
thats the way I see it...GGG gets hit clean and even by fringe guys
GGG hasnt really faced a real good puncher...Froch knocked out and dropped some top guys at 168
Stevens, Rubio, and Lemieux have nice ko ratios but all their ko wins are over journeymen, and fringe guys at best
Froch has a long jab, and a good right hand...i dont think GGG can take those, shots twelve rounds straight coming forward. He cant fight off the back foot, at least he hasnt shown he can
Right there, to this day it amazes me that people still underrate the boxing skills of Froch.
It's ironic that people say that Froch has underrated boxing skills while saying Golovkin is easy to hit.
GGG is a come forward boxer, and they were meat and drink to Froch. The fight would either go the same way as the Bute fight, or if GGG's chin really is granite then Froch would win an entertaining UD.
Prime Froch has underrated boxing skills, especially when he had someone coming at him. He had an effective jab, he was strong as hell, and his awkward punches kept fighters off balance. He was also smart in the ring. So long as he could catch his opponent, he figured them out eventually. That's why his biggest struggles were fighters he couldn't catch.
Not a problem with GGG.
