Carl Froch:"Golovkin is dangerous and if he can be avoided, Then we'll avoid him"

[Hougigo]

That's right. Same reason Golovkin fell through. Shouldn't his contract be up soon, then, or does he need another fight before it ends?

If I remember correctly... October 2015 is when it ends

brits:

is groves a more dangerous opponent than gennady golovkin?

No, but Groves 2 was a much bigger fight in the UK than GGG will ever be.

I would love to see Froch GGG at 168. Would be a great fight.

So is Chavez Jr negotiating his way out of another nig fight? Say it aint so... but it is #BOXING*

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........

**** Chavez Jr, he doesn't want to lose again like when Sergio beat his ass. He wants to leave Arum, go to Al Haymon where he can go the Danny Garcia route and fight guys 3-4 divisions under him for not as much money, but a lot and in a much easier fight. The Al Haymon way, boxers love it but it gets you no respect or admiration in the sport.

Froch will fight him if the money is right I have no doubt and he won't be asking for the sort of cash Junior and Ward want BUT and this is a big but....why should he? I rarely say this about a fighter but Froch is 38 and gone through several wars, his fought guys like Pascal, Bute, Kessler, AA, most of these bouts coming back to back and all of them dangerous punchers.

Why should Froch be denied a big money fight with the less dangerous DeGale and a unification with BIka if he so wishes? He barely has a year or 2 left in the sport.

Jr's next fight is the last with TR. Jr doesn't take Froch just like that.

So what's the problem because he doesn't want to sign an extension? The money changes fight to fight, it isn't like Arum is trying to lock him into a 3 year deal where he can't make more than 2 million. He offered the guy nearly 18 million for 3 fights, that was his minimum pay out and could have been more on PPV.

Ward brings in no money but Kid Chocolate is a real cash cow. He does what any star fighter does. Hand picks his own opponents. No different from Manny and Floyd except Manny and Floyd have earned the right to.

Isn't this the exact same interview that Dirk posted already with Groves and the mediator?

[Evil Abed]

Isn't this the exact same interview that Dirk posted already with Groves and the mediator?

No....This is him reacting to HBO using the quote from that interview.

i appreciate his candor. i don't blame froch for not wanting to fight a vicious puncher like golovkin at his age. he can make more money elsewhere. he doesn't need golovkin. if he beats him, people will discredit the win. "golovkin beat nobody, was a middleweight," they'll say. i said the same for martinez, and i'll say the same for froch and cotto. i don't blame them for taking easier fights.


kudos to froch for his candor. the guy is a freaking hero. his woman is smoking hot. i'd be nuts deep for the rest of my life. 4 kids, then she gets her tubes tied. f#ck boxing.
