Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Spoke To Froch, He's Interested in Golovkin

[From Russia]

Great fight, I hope Hearn is not lying...

[The Champions]

According to promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sports, super middleweight star Carl Froch (33-2, 24KOs) is starting to express some interest in facing WBA/IBO middleweight Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (33-0, 30KOs).

In an earlier article on BoxingScene.com, Triple G's promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions stated that Golovkin has no problem with testing himself by moving up to the super middleweight division to fight Froch.

Froch has been inactive since knocking out George Groves before 80,000 fans last May at Wembley Stadium.

I bet Froch is chomping at the bit after seeing ggg get touched up Marilyn Monroe.

[-Kev-]

But Froch said GGG punches like a mule and he'll avoid him at all costs. Heroband convinced me that Froch was being genuine and he wasn't just complimenting a smaller fighter and talking tongue in cheek.

how does GGG cope when Froch isn't backing up and he's coming forward throwing big shots of his own?

I think I favour Froch due to the size difference.

This is why I would slightly favor Froch. Froch can crack and I just don't see GGG walking through his shots. All I know is if what he said about carrying Monroe for a few extra rounds is true, and he pulls that **** on Froch, he will get put to sleep, granite chin or not.

Lol I don't see that, but assuming your'e right. GGG will have no better luck getting fights at 168 than he has at 160 lol.

He'll have Ward when he's ready

Bad move!!!!

GGG needs to stay away from the "Cobra", far away.

I can hear Froch now ......................

"I'm Carl 'The Cobra' Froch -- You know the International Boxing Star who KO'ed Groves at Wembly stadium in front of 80K screaming fans and also the one who destroyed GGG""

Excited for this if it happens.

Indeed it was tongue in cheek, as Froch later clarified:

"It was tongue in cheek back then. I was being a bit cheeky and you can take those comments with a pinch of salt. What I will say though is this guy can ****ing punch: he's dangerous and if he can be avoided we'll avoid him"

Me if the fight gets made.

Froch is awesome lol. He has got to be one of the best fighters as far as interviews go.
