In this new article Carl Froch claims that a still green Kell Brook gave him "nightmares" in sparring years back when Froch was prime!
He also believes Brook will be Golovkin's toughest test ever.

Here is what Froch said about sparring Brook:
Froch:" When it comes to his (Brook's) defence, his range and his timing, he is a Nightmare. I know it was a few years ago as I was getting ready to fight Andre Dirrell, but I sparred with Kell and I did not enjoy it in the slightest."
Froch:" Kell was awkward, he was impossible to hit and although it was only two or three rounds, I do remember thinking "this kid is going to go all the way and become a world champion."
Froch:" He (Brook) had that Ingle awkwardness that made him hard to get close to and hit. When I did get in, that right over the top kept landing. It was a nightmare spar back then. The lad is special."
Froch:" We will see if Kell causes him the nightmare I had back in 2009. We will see just how good Golovkin actually is becuse I do think he will see some of the things I did back then."
To all of you who still think this fight is a mismatch, YDKSAB! I'm pretty sure Froch knows more than you fools on the Internet!!!!!!!!
Froch is bigger and stronger than GGG and if a green Brook can give Prime Carl Froch nightmares, HE CAN BEAT GOLOVKIN!
he also got outboxed by smith recently in sparring. smith was crisper and more accurate. not good for brook.

That was a 1-minute sparring clip, means absolutely NOTHING. Brook's camp probably choose that clip to fool GGG's camp into thinking they're not ready.
Kid Galahad says Brook is knocking out heavyweights in sparring.
Dude Brook is even bigger then GGG, like, legit. Wtf. And people ragged on this fight? Wow, so many people who really do not even like boxing on this site, wtf.
I think he went overboard, he has the speed advantage so might as well try to maximize that, he put on extra size... now what, hes slower and still wont have the power, strength or chin advantage. Nor will it help stamina.
Brook KO's Heavyweights in sparring, takes there shots flush without flinching, beats the chit out of Froch, all in sparring.
On fight night he hugs Porter to a decision. LMFAO, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS CLOWN KO'D.
Are you really comparing 3 rounds of sparring with headgear on and large gloves to a championship fight? Loool come off it man. Golovkin spars heavyweights so he must be ready for Wilder then.
Yes, I also know of sparring sessions Brook has had when he has been hurt to the body - not a good omen for a fight with Golovkin is it?
But then again, "it's just sparring . . . . "

First time hearing/reading about that. Interesting.
A lot of time bigger fighters use smaller fighters for work. Klitschko sparred Andy Lee. lol But I doubt he was trying to take his head off or anything.
Oh i didn't even know about the Andy lee sparing haha. Thanks man.

Shocked froch was even sparring brook

"Show me a post of you supporting Golovkin before July of this year.
Bandwagon fan."
It's as if you created an account or the sole purpose of slandering GGG. Get a life man, it's getting really obvious even to posters who are neutral to GGG and such. What is it? are you black? Racist? I don't get it, he's a great fighter and anyone fan or not, can see that easily.
I just read another boxing scene top headline by Froch trashing GGG. Froch seems jealous of GGG and really hates him. He is praying for a Brook victory and he said how much he wants Brook to win. After saying how much trouble a young Brook gave him in sparring how will it make Froch look if GGG easily beats the best possible experienced Brook in a real fight? I think the reason Froch turned down the fight with GGG at 168 is in his heart he doesn't believe he can win that fight.
Anyone who believes anything Carl Froch says is an idiot. And even if it's true it was a fuking sparring match 7 years ago who gives a fuk.
I'll believe a legend like Carl Froch over an internet Buffoon like you. Your username says it all "48cantCstraight" bwahahahahaha.
7 years ago tells you Froch was close to prime while Brook was a young kid. That tells you how special Brook is.
Froch's style is horrible for sparring, he even lost to Manfredo Jr. via stoppage in the amateurs, doesn't help when you're trying to hit such a small target either. His style is meant solely for the pros
