    you can take damage in a golovkin fight equal to several fights with andre ward.

    froch is 37 years old. he's been taking shots in victory and defeat for a long while now. he's fought some real punchers. pascal, abraham, bute, groves, dirrell, taylor, kessler all have power.

    punchers ring your f#cking bell. you can't take those big shots forever.


    you guys all get that, correct? that managers avoid golovkin because of the damage to the careers of their fighters, not just to avoid the loss.

      The other option is to take (a lot) less money. He doesn't want to take less money, and he doesn't want an extension. Someone is gonna have to budge.

            I get it , I totally agree with your logic. Problem is alot of people want fighters to fight everyone no matter what. They think if they were boxers they would take on all comers even if they knew it could ruin them.

              Froch doesn't know what he's talking about. Both Danny Jacobs and J'Leon Love both see flaws in Golovkin that they can beat him with.

                Golovkin needs to earn a fight with Froch. Knocking out Ward might do the trick...

                Nah seriously, i doubt this fight happens. GGG is just too risky for Froch at this stage of his career.

                  Yep. Eddie Hearn and Dibella have made it pretty clear. Though doesn't seem to care about matching Mora with GGG.

                    Froch didn't say that though, money isn't his primary motivation.

                    The part you read about the "right deal" was his promoter Eddie Hearn speaking.

                    I think it's telling that Froch says "we'll avoid him", but then says "I'll fight him". He's being advised.

                      Froch is way too old to be in a war against Golovkin, the mans given us his last ounce of fight he deserves a big payday and a relatively decent scrap too where whether win or lose he takes enough to be able to live a comfortable lifestyle after it.

                      Coming from a GGG fan.
