    Yep, that's the unfortunate part.

    If GGG's appeal matched his talent, he would be involved in terrific fights. Unfortunetly the guys in his division who could make him a star are scared to fight him and he's not ready to move up...that leaves him in a tricky spot.

      The full quote...

      "It was tongue in cheek back then. I was being a bit cheeky and you can take those comments with a pinch of salt. What I will say though is this guy can ****ing punch: he's dangerous and if he can be avoided we'll avoid him. I'll stand by that and I don't give a ****. But I'll fight anyone. I'll fight Golovkin, of course I would. At Middleweight he's dangerous but you don't know what he's going to be like at super middleweight do you? So what a great fight. Having said that, with what I've seen lately, he looks like he can punch at super middle."

        People are forgetting that Froch was super small time, until fairly recently. Even in the UK, he had very very few fans, until the Bute fight, that is. And of course the Groves scraps made him a big star there.

        So Froch was only fighting everyone when he had no choice, when that was the only way he could make money.

        No way is Froch going to agree fighting to GGG. If the price is right, is what every boxer says for every fight. The point is that Froch is admitting that GGG is way too dangerous.

          The whole quote is easily read if you enlarge the image. But yes. That's correct.

              That's why I like Froch: he always is straightforward.

                  That's just Froch's way to tell HBO they better pay him if he is to fight him.

                    HBO doesn't hold the right money for Carl and Hearn. Therefore they are only joking...

                      That's the only negative I see from those comments, the thing is if Froch gets a good offer then he would drop the Chavez or De gale and fight GGG, the problem is at what weight? But Froch would definately make other fighters in around his weight avoid him with comments like that.
