    This is the silliest logic on the forum. They can't make up their mind. First he's fought no one at 160 yet they want him to fight at 168 before even fighting another title holder at 160. ****ing ******s man...

      He switched trainers. Trainers DO make a difference.

        No one has gone the distance with him since 2008 and the only three fights that did go the distance were 8 rounders. Chances are that if they had been longer fights, they also would have ended in stoppages. When he turned pro, he stopped the first 8 people he fought.

        So basically he has always been a monster, it just takes some people longer to notice it than others. And some are still in total denial about it.

          Look at this ****:

          GGG: Ouma, Proksa, Rosado, Macklin, Stevens, Geale, Rubio, Murray.

          ^Wtf?

          Froch's resume indicates that if Triple Coward actually campaigned at 168, he'd have been on his resume. There's not one fighter at 168, at no point from 2008-present, that Froch had to fight and he ducked him. Not one fighter, so stop it. The only SMW that Froch never fought was Joe Calzaghe, who him not the other way around.
          you're a floyd fan keratoconus kev.

          you have no place to talk about cowardice. just saying

            No doubt that Froch has the better resume but six of those that you listed that GGG has fought were ranked in the top ten by Ring when they fought. That and the fact that GGG fights four times a year and wants to unify the division has to count for something.

                Who cares if the ring ranked them top 10 in the worst division in boxing right now. His resume is still **** compared to Froch.

                  I don't know when exactly he became a monster, but people started taking about him as such after the Proksa fight, his first fight on US television. Ever since then the myth has grown with each passing fight.

                    DeGale is a good fighter, but fans aren't clamoring for that fight. Fights that fans wanted to see Froch in, happened. Right now, I think fans want to see Froch vs Chavez Jr if he beats Fonfora, and Froch vs Ward II if Chavez Jr doesn't happen.
                    I wasn't giving my opinion.

                    Froch had to fight James DeGale to keep his IBF belt. He didn't and as a consequence he has had to drop his belt. You said Froch hadnt avoided a single fighter at 168. But he has, irrespective of whether it was justified, James DeGale was the mandatory challenger for Froch's belt and Froch vacated rather than face him. That's not an opinion, it's a fact.

                    Froch is quick to remind people he was Joe Calzaghe's mandatory for the WBC and Calzaghe did the exact same thing, vacated.

                      Who cares about 160 titleholders? 160 sucks. That's what GGG supporters can't understand. No one will give him props for beating Cotto or Quillin or Lee. Move up already, MW is trash.

                      This was going to be my exact answer to you, I was going to click reply and type this virtually word for word:
