I back Froch and i'd be pretty comfortable in that pick.
Stevens had success when he pushed GGG back tonight, and showed that GGG is certainly a front runner.
Unfortunatley Stevens was scared of getting hit and as a result spent much of the fight shelling up, in reverse and letting Golvkin get off,
Froch will meet Golvkin in the middle of the ring, and If stevens was backing him up, you had best belie Froch will, the difference is Froch is bigger, Stronger, More Durable, braver and probably more powerful (at 168) than stevens is.
I can't see Froch running backwards around the ring, scared of getting in a fight with GGG, and for that reason I can't see GGG being allowed to dictate the pace, and fight his usual fight. A bigger guy like Froch with heavy hands will wear Golovkin down and probably stop him late on.
ALSO
Golovkin will not have success at mid range because froch has a much better reach and is formiddable with a very solid jab from mid-long range.
So GGG's only option is to try and pressure froch and push him backwards, and that's not going to work.
From what I've just seen, as long long as you can push ggg back and hammer him with shots he's beatable. And that is exactly what froch would do different class.
