    froch ducking golovkin...seriously?
    froch is a fighter, just look at his career

    i agree froch would KO golovkin,
    he has height and reach advantage,
    5 inch reach advantage,
    froch isnt the fatest boxer but he can use his jab very effectively,
    just look at how fast groves is and he caused him loads of problems with the jab in the last fight,
    golovkin isnt even as fast as groves

    add to that frochs chin and power,
    froch isnt like these other fighters who will back down,
    he will give as good as he gets

    this remind me of before the groves rematch when some peeps were saying froch is ducking groves

      Latest by Hearn on Froch-Golovkin. Both sides want it, money's just not there right now. What I struggle to understand is how Chavez is a ppv fight for either guy. Chavez at his peak only drew 500k+ buys when he fought Sergio Martinez.

      Froch's not a huge draw in the US. His fight with Kessler was advertised as drawing 1.1mill views, but it was 493k views for the live show, and 517k for the replay later that night. While Froch-Groves II had a 700k average and 830k peak.
      The highly anticipated rematch between Carl Froch and George Groves fared incredibly well at the box-office, produced a highlight reel ending and – for U.S. cable network HBO – proved to be a worthy Saturday matinee feature. The May 31 headliner at Wembley Stadium in London proved to be a successful venture in an otherwise risky time slot for HBO, generating an average of 700,000 viewers over the course of their thrilling super middleweight title fight. Froch (33-2, 24KO) added to his growing stature as boxing’s perennial tough guy, overcoming an early rally to knock Groves out cold in the 8th round of their instant classic. The bout topped out at 830,000 viewers and overall served as a 42% increase from Froch’s network appearance this time one year ago. His rematch with Mikkel Kessler – in which Froch avenged a 2010 defeat to score a unanimous decision last May – was one of the best fights of 2013, but only playing to an audience of 493,000 viewers on this side of the Atlantic.


      Looks like the only way we get Froch-Golovkin is if Froch gets the Vegas fight with Chavez (bringing up his profile in the US) and if Golovkin continues with wins over guys like Murray on a prime time more suitable for UK fans and maybe a follow-up with a fight against Kessler in Denmark.
      500k was a pretty incredible number for Chavez Jr vs Martinez especially considering Canelo was on for free the same night. 500k is a very good number regardless. Unless you're Mayweather or Pacquaio, you're not doing much more than that.

      Your last paragraph is spot on. Froch becomes a much bigger name in the US if he beats Chavez and maybe the Golokvin fight would then be HBO PPV. Right now, its way too premature.

        Froch would take GGG's best shots, smile at him, and then proceed to jab him to death. Easy money.

          Hearn doesn't agree with you, says Golovkin's a far tougher fight than Kessler or DeGale.

            That's not really saying much. Kessler has been in semi-retirement and hasn't fought since the last Froch fight.

            The DeGale fight is "tough" in a different way. Stylistically he could cause Froch problems and will almost certainly make him look bad.

              Kessler is finished, DeGale is a runner. GGG comes forward and wants to engage. That's bread & butter for Froch

                  Hearn should just make fight, Froch will knock GGG out.

                  GGG has not been in the ring with anyone as good and tough as Froch.

                      My sources tell me that if Hearn does make Golovkin-Froch he's going to place pitchers strategically in the crowd to catch Froch's head when Golovkin inevitably knocks it off his shoulders.
