    So it seems Froch is down to potentially fight GGG...after Ward?

    According to Eddie Hearn, a fight between Froch and GGG could be possible for late 2015/early 2016. However, this is of course very unlikely as it would depend on Froch first beating Ward (in itself unlikely) in early summer 2015, with that following up to a GGG showdown.



    Now, let's say by some miracle this plan could actually be put into action, and Froch would somehow manage to get a win over Ward and GGG, how good would his resume rank?

    In my opinion this is all b/s by Hearn, but what are your thoughts on the situation?

    If Froch beat undefeated Ward and GGG back to back he surpasses Cal and Roy as the greatest SMW of All Time and could very well have the best resume of the entire generation, including Floyd and Manny.

        Nah, but I think it will be done. Froch has no intention of vacating the belt and I guess neither does Ward. Since it has been mandated, and neither guy has anyone else really relevant to fight, I see it happening.

        I'd be happy to see the winner of Ward-Froch fight GGG. That way either guy might be coming off the best win of his career and on a high on confidence and belief to fight GGG and possibly beat him.

          If it's a 75/25 split in favor of Ward, I see Froch vacating.

            Where did you get such figures from? Is that the split when a WBA regular champ fights the super champ? Actually I see this going to purse bids...and I fancy Hearn winning it and making the fight in England. Would be interesting what Ward does then.

              Totally agree. Would be an incredible career.

                Ward is exteremely jealous of Froch so he will never give Froch the chance to avenge that L, everyone know froch aint scared of **** unlike ward and all these other urban cowards.

                  I might be wrong but I think Hearn has been using Golovkin's name for a while to tease the fans. The possibility of Golovkin-Froch always seems to be in 6 to 12 months in the future with Hearn. I hope i'm wrong but I think Hearn is talking out his arsehole.

                    In fairness I think he has been pretty consistent that if it is ppv in the us the fight will happen until then they don't want GGG. But it is hearn so you could be right.
