    I've never seen this Golovkin fella fight, but if he's fighting Froch then he'd better be good, because Froch is elite world class level make no mistake.

    As for George Groves, well I think it's irresponsible and dangerous to allow him to fight Froch.
    He's going to get absolutely destroyed, and anyone that thinks any different doesn't know anything about boxing.

    I have nothing against Groves at all, but he's still only a prospect, feeding him to Froch for a few quid is shameful.

    I like Hearn, he's doing an amazing job and has brought boxing in Britain back to old glorys, but he really should be ashamed at allowing Groves to fight Froch just for some domestic interest.

    Froch may well end Groves career and I'm being serious now.

      Fight starts at 6:40, and doesn't last that long.

      The IBF mandated the Groves-Froch fight. According to Hearn, he didn't want to match them until next year.

        Have another look at Matthyse vs Garcia to see how a feared puncher goes against a bigger, stronger guy with durability and pretty good power himself.

        Froch would wear GGG down and stop him, Golovkin is a little guy at 160, Froch is a huge 168lb'r, Golovkin will find himself forced back and manhandled, and punchers don't do well when bullied by bigger and stronger opponents, they are too used to being front runners
        GGG is far more skilfull then Lucas though.

          it doesn't matter, this is going to be a force the issue fight. Quote me on it now, if it happens it will end badly for GGG.

            Thanks for he vid, regardless of ability, he looks far too small to Fight Froch.

            And **** IBF or anyone else's mandates, If I'd been Froch I'd have vacated and gone after Ward or Dirrell again.

            Sure he'll make a fed quid against Groves, but he might as well keep up his record of fighting top boxers instead of wasting a training camp on a prospect....

              I would love that fight. Golovkin might be slightly small for Froch, but I don't see GGG losing that fight. He'd beat Froch up in the middle rounds and it would be stopped sometime in the later rounds.

                  Correct. I don't have to explain myself, I don't care really.

                    Froch is actually not that big, that's why he refuses to fight above 168. Fight night weight is 172.

                    And **** IBF or anyone else's mandates, If I'd been Froch I'd have vacated and gone after Ward or Dirrell again.
                    Ward didn't want the fight on his comeback. Dirrell isn't even boxing. I also don't think Froch wanted to let Groves fight for the vacant title, he doesn't appear to like him much.

                      So let me sum it up; You think Corey Sanders was better than Wlad, you've never seen Golovkin fight... You are special, aren't ya?
