Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter on Going To 168 To Face Ward, Froch

[Dr.Eisenfaust]

Lol Froch would brutalize GGG with ease, he's not going to out jab Froch. Nor is he going to be able to overpower him. GGG is at his best when he can walk guys down, overpower them. He's not going to be able to do that against a guy as big and strong as Froch. Golovkin is slow, easy to be hit and is average at best fighting backwards and when a guy actually holds his ground.

Once he tastes a SMW's power he's not going to be able to walk through it and execute his game plan.

SMW is on a different level of talent compared to 160 where guys like Chavez are taken seriously, a glorified Andrade.

Froch's jab would be completely useless in that fight. Golovkin won't let any space for Froch.

Golovkin might be slow but he has an excellent timing and great accuracy!He's one of ther rare fighters, such as Hopkins and Vitali Klitschko, who do not really need speed as anticipation kills speed.

I can hardly see Golovkin going backwards against Froch. But it's true, Golovkin will have to be more alert in this fight.

I want to see firs how Froch will deal with Groves. I believe this will be a tough fight, and Groves, despite being the underdog, won't let Froch without any marks in my opinion.

GGG is almost 32. He should be on a fast track to big money fights. I see no reason to fight at MW unless its a fight with Serg. Froch vs GGG is the biggest money fight out there. I dont know why they arent jumping all over this.

You didn't see how Golovkin reacted to the slight pressure Stevens applied last night when especially when he got tagged?

Golovkin is reminding me of Donaire a whole lot. Match him well and he'll win. And if he doesnt get you outta there early he will look pretty fkin ordinary.

Zbik and Vera survived Chavez' pressure and beat him on many scorecards. whatever weakness your biased eyes spotted there, go over Zbik and Vera's fight and look for the same.

People saying his height, and his power will be a problem... thats ridiculous, People like Tyson and Tua were only 5'10 and 2 of the top 10 most devastating heavyweight punchers of all time. GGG is around the same height as both just of a smaller frame. I don't think he will have any problems at all at 168, if anything his frame could develop more strength and stability there. He would make Froch's corner throw in the towel without a doubt, and Ward? He would just run all night, no way is he trading with a man of this calibre.

Tyson was a monsterous child. He wasn't a small dude who managed to bulk up to HW by adding muscle his body wasn't used to. He was around that weight when he was 14.....there's a huge difference between moving up in weight....and being that weight. Tyson was build frame wise for it naturally. GGG isn't and he's fairly old.

I'd rather see them push for a Mayweather fight. Meet at 157.. And before he moves up I would love to see Gennady fight Chavez or Martinez. He needs to go about this the right way, he can't go up to 168 and then back down and up again. Try to get a fight with Mayweather or Canelo at 157, fight with Chavez or Martinez at 160 then make the move.

you really think floyd would even fight him at all given he would'nt fight a hypejob at full jr middle?....lol

Golovkin already KO'd Bute in the amateurs I don't think Bute chin will hold up. But that is a good fight if he is moving up to test the waters at 168. I think froch and GGG would be a war. At this moment if favor Ward over him. Ward just knows how to win period.

Berto beat Dirrell in the amateurs.

Berto beat Bradley in the amateurs, twice.

None of this would happen in the pros.

Next.

Any one who brings up Golovkin's points decision over Dirrell in the amateurs to argue why GGG would beat Dirrell, sorry, your opinion is invalid.

Make that any fighters win over another fighter.

Golovkin has deceptive speed like Cotto.

GGG shouldn't go up to Super MW unless the money was too good to refuse...

he might even want to pull a Ward and have Ward come down to 160 to fight him

[mobstarik]

People moan about golovkin not fighting anyone at middleweight yet, then they are asking him to move up and fight froch and ward? Is this so they can accuse him of avoiding tough fights at middle? Martinez, pirog, Jacobs, quillin, Murray, barker, geale, sturm, Chavez, Vera, Rubio. There are a ton of fights for GGG at middle, the chance to unify and the chance to win the lineal title. Ward has unified, won the lineal title and cleared out the division, outside of the dirrel brothers. Froch has unified and attempted to become lineal king, falling well short. Why is no one asking for them to move up to light heavy? They have both well established themselves at supermiddle, instead of people trying to push GGG to move up before he has made his mark at middle, ask these two to move up and test themselves.

good point! agree on that!
