    What's the deal with GGG fighting Froch? Why isn't that fight happening?

      If triple G really wants to get paid that is the fight he has to take. I don't agree with him going up in weight just yet but Froch is at the end of his career and the masses will want to see that fight

        At 33 he's going to have to move up at some point himself.

        He waited for Martinez...didn't materialize. Now Canelo's team is saying two years from now. Cotto will probably ignore him too. What do those fighters all have in common? They moved up. I think GGG is going to have to do the same sooner rather than later. I think a bout against Froch would be bananas. Don't understand why that's not being bandied about.

          Obviously he can't box exactly like Floyd, but Floyd has become synonymous with fighting in an intelligent and careful manner. GGG wouldn't be marketable if he boxed in a conservative manner. What makes him endearing is the fact that he comes to kill, regardless of who's in front of him. People continue to complain about his opposition, but I enjoy watching the way he goes about his business in the ring, something I can't say about many others. You couldn't pay me to watch certain fighters, regardless of how good their opposition is. He has bone-breaking power, good punch technique, a ******* jab, and a bit of vulnerability due to his come-forward style. At some point, he'll fight someone that will make him dig into his bag of tricks, and then we'll see how well he can box.

            Carl Froch has already said himself that he is avoiding GGG because he punches like a mule.

            Eddie Hearn and Rob McCracken have both said if Carl isn't motivated for a GGG fight he will end up seriously injured because of the way he(Carl) fights.

            That is why Carl isn't fighting GGG.

              Jas is still upset. He can't get over the number 48.

              His inner feminine racist side exposed again.

                  I tend to forget that G is 33. He has to make a move on seriously trying to get on board with that fight. Froch don't like his options since Jr lost and might perceive G like a smaller man.

                    Already 33 and has yet to move up a division. He will never be considered a great fighter with his piss poor professional resume.
