Comments Thread For: Froch: Golovkin is Not PPV, I'd Need a KO To Beat Ward

[HeroBando]

Froch has no obligation whatsoever to fight GGG. If he wants to be a star he has to earn it. Froch did, Ward did, even Arthur Abraham did.

Instead of running his mouth Abel Sanchez and GGG should actually make some fights. Stop talking about who you want to fight and make some Damn fights already.

Stop trash talking fighters that have accomplished 10x more than GGG ever will and build yourself up. It's not their fault your resume is trash. Sergio Martinez never begged for a fight. He made his own name.

Fight Ward who actually wants to Fight you or shut the heck up.

This doesn't make any sense. The only way GGG can earn a Froch fight is by beating Ward? Jeeze this place is infested with idiots

He may be "keeping it real" but this is a sad admission as far as being a competitor goes. Where is the competitive drive?

I know but I think the wrong people have got in his ear. Eddie was happy to shell him out to Bute, knowing he was in a win/win situation, Froch winning elevated him into stardom in the UK, leading to Kessler II and Groves I/II.

Eddie has since been aligning Froch for big money fight after big money fight and Jr is simply next in line. There was a time when Froch burned with a desire to beat Ward, for months after their first match up he called Ward out and Ward just declined but now Froch believes he should only be in it for the money and wants little risk/big reward, then again, with the 6-7 years he's had, I don't blame him.

Since when? Maybe in UK, not here in the States...

Took the words out my mouth..

they wont give him credit regardless of who he wins , but failed to realise no one in MW wants a peice of him nor Froch/Chaves @ 168 , if he is C level as you think he wouldve been exposed or taken for a ride in one of his fights , but it isnt even close ....
just say he is the best by far and dont diss everyone else as bums or what not.....
Every mega star needs his one big win , and until he gets it the haters will hate but once he does get it he becomes Elite ? give me a break , GGG is elite NOW and will prove it once he gets the chance (same as kovalev for example).

Carl Froch is 37 and knows that's probably past his prime so what's sad about him about him wanting to be involved in fights that are competitive and financially motivating for him and his brand, he's fought everyone else?

What I will give you is the duck on GGG but for the right amount of money he'd sign up for the fight but only after a 'big money' Chavez fight.

I hope this stops the morons who say ward is scared to fight in the uk. Frock just admitted he'll lose to ward lol. If anyone else said this you'd call them a coward

It makes perfect sense. GGG has to beat somebody of note or several people of note in order to get a PPV fight against a PPV fighter. Beating up soup cans and then saying, "I want a PPV fight against Cotto or Maweather", two of the top three PPV stars, won't cut it.

Niether is Froch at being a PPV star, neither is Chavez. If anything GGG looks to be the one with the most potential to be a PPV star. I've been a fan of Froch but his recent comments are not ridiculous and he isn't making himself look good.

Did Chavez when he fought Martinez. .. Hell no he didnt. I'm far from a huge Golovkin fan but he has much more star potential than Chavez, Froch, Ward and pretty much everyone from middleweight to super-middleweight

You're an idiot, what I said makes perfect sense. Let me spell it out for you.

GGG has been a pro for 9 years and failed to secure a big fight. He and his team are constantly mouthing off at legitimate superstars saying they are ducking him.

He is calling out fighters that are fighting for top tier purses in major national fights like they are challengers all while he is still unknown. Is GGG or his people going to cover the millions in production cost for fights with these people that are supposed my ducking him? Are they going to cover any gap in ticket sales or merchandising because no one showed up to see Froch fight some guy that's been beating c level middleweights his whole career?

Through all this talk and trying to trash legit a level fighters there is one that said let's do it (Andre Ward) and the response is oh I want to clean out my division but then he goes on to call out Floyd mayweather, Chavez and Froch.

GGG is no where near elite and has not accomplished half of what real elite fighters have done.

Even Daniel Jacobs is smart enough to know to stay in his lane until he reaches the upper levels. "I will go after those guys once I am ready. I don't have the exposure I need yet so I just have to keep winning"
