HBO Using Froch Quote to Hype Golovkin

[New England]

"Carl Froch fears no man."

Carl Froch

carl froch fears no man not named gennady or andre.

deep down, he knows he lost to dirrell as well. let's be real. the guy owns a TV, has seen the fight, and knows how to score a boxing match. he lost.

Why would he fear GGG a middleweight with above average boxing skills who's vulnerable to Froch's infamous swarms. Fair enough Ward can outbox him all night long but GGG ain't no Ward/Dirrell.

Whether they're using it to hype GGG or not, the fact of the matter is Froch said it. He and his fans should be embarrased. What kind of fighter publically states that he would avoid another fighter at all costs because he's too dangerous!

[Deevel916]

If Froch lands right hands like weak punching Geale landed, we'll surely see at least one KD and GGG wobbled and hurt several times.

Froch doesnt have movement like Geale does. That's why Geale was able to land some shots on GGG. Froch fights way too stiff!

infamous swarms?

golovkin really isn't a swarmer. he backs guys up with the jab, and has a technical offense from the middle distance. right hands, left hooks, and uppercuts to the head, and left hooks to the body.


golovkin had 350 amateur fights, and lost five of them. he's not a swarmer. his skills far surpass froch's.

all froch has going for him are height and reach. maybe his chin is more durable, but golovkin looks ot have a very good chin at MW. golovkin hits much, much harder.


the issue will be froch's footspeed. if he doesn't have the power or the handspeed to keep golovkin away, his feet will let him down.

expect a decent fight early on, with the cobra slowing down and taking a career ending beating late.


the fight won't happen. managers and promotors are not ******. fighting golovkin will almost invariably mark a downward trend in your career. if these guys don't have to fight him, they won't.

yeah, and golovkin clearly didn't respect geale's power so was more willing to take one to give one - which proved to be a great strategy considering the circumstances of the knock-out.

one who can depend on a british fanbase to defend him on bscene. froch has done this twice, now. he's very candid about not wanting the ward rematch.

[Deevel916]

It's ok for them to hype up their fighters. But they shouldn't do it by twisting and misrepresenting the facts.
I've been watching boxing on HBO for a long time and they rarely used to do that. It makes them look desperate that they now have to resort to this kind of thing.

What facts did they twist and misrepresnt? Did Froch say it? Ok then.

He said it yeah but he said it in a joking manner with sarcasm.

He also said he's happy to fight Golovkin so why wasn't that quoted?

Froch would fight Golovkin.

[bojangles1987]

NE loves pissing the Brits off. He's smarter than that, though, he knows Froch would fight Golovkin tomorrow.
