    Incorrect.... Froch is 6' 1" GGG is 5ft10. Froch has a 75" reach to GGG's 70. That's a considerable advantage.

      holly god.............did you just say golovkin would easily out jab froch? groves has blistering foot speed & hand speed. (don't let that fool you) golovkin crouches down in crab stance & he's just as slow if not more then froch. golovkin is a all around slow fighter so he wouldn't give nearly as much trouble as what groves did (it's foot speed and hand speed that troubles froch NOT power) also many people are forgetting that golovkin has easy to bruise skin. froch would literally be flicking that jab & teeing off.........

        I'll go with the proven tried and tested 168lb fighter over the untested 160lbs fighter.

        Im a big fan off both fighters but GGG is yet to fight a true test at 160 let alone 168.

          Excellent point.


          GGG does look legit, but the hype on NSB is unreal. It seems to be par for the course nowadays; just look at the Berto & Matthysse train wrecks.

              Matthysse has never displayed the kind of skills Golovkin has, those two are almost complete opposites, only similar in approach.

                We've never said he'll take over boxing after Floyd retires though.

                  to say that golovkin (a middleweight who's fought no one) & who gives up his height by crouching down: will EASILY out jab froch..........hummm yea, the ggg train has gone crazy.

                  froch stands straight up and uses his height fully as he jabs. golvkin crouches down.
