    Anyway here's the interview, he starts talking Groves/Chavez/Golovkin on 9:00 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=038El0iF90Q
    The punches will bounce off the granit chin on the Cobra! Golovkin will seem small and weak again the power of the cobra.

      lol possible but unlikely. I don't even like the fight as a Golovkin fan either, he shouldn't be at 168 and it could be a mistake for him.

      What annoys me is Hearn doesn't really care about his fighter, Golovkin is an easy fight to make for Hearn as he would have total control but it's probably not the right fight for Froch and it's one that doesn't need to be made since they're in different divisions.

        I'd like a face like Golovkin in the SMW division, would make it a lot more interesting. SMW could once again rise up as one of the most entertaining divisions in boxing with Groves coming through too.

          Sorry but Froch would kill Golovkin... who has Golokin fought exactly... some Mike Tyson wannabe midget with no credentials?? too write off Froch and his almighty experience with elite fighters against an untested albeit great looking fighter is ridiculous especially when he is naturally bigger... Movement is Frochs worst enemy and Golovkin will be there to get hit

            I don't think it's right for him though, I see him having a lot of wars at 168 and maybe even losing to fighters who aren't necessarily as good as him, just bigger and stronger (e.g. Sakio Bika).

            Imo Golovkin can become one of the greatest middleweights if he stays there fighting 4 times per year.

              Green K on the way. Everyone here is dismissing froch like he has never dismantled an undefeated hype job or two in his time. To say it's an easy fight for Golovkin is crazy talk.

                I agree, moving to SMW would be a bad move right now, but I'd still want him there. He can become something special, definitely.

                  Was just about to post something very similar to this.

                  Not even like he is a big middleweight, i think he'd suffer a similar fate to Abraham.

                    Froch is the man, he already beat a bigger puncher than Golovkin in Abraham although Golovkin clearly has better skills. I expect Froch to be to big and good for Golovkin and destroy him brutally sign the fight. The Groves fight is harder for Froch.

                      Good to hear that HBO are finally stepping in and trying to arrange the big fights for GGG. Saying that he should not leave 160 till fighting Martinez somehow.

                      Can't blame Froch for disliking Groves, he just comes of as a plain smug individual.
