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

Now, this is THE fight.

IMO, the best fight it can be made at the moment. It would be such a great fight. There is real dangerous it would shorten their careers (well I suppose Gennady's as Froch is already almost out), but it would be the best fight we saw in many many years.

Please please make it happen!

Ok, How is everyone doing! I do not post too often but I honestly cannot believe why Froch gets so much hype. The guy is so average and besides that is an arrogant fellow. First, he doesn't have much of an amateur career (did he make the Olympics), his claim to fame is ko'ing a scrub Groves who ironically was beating him pretty bad before that awful stoppage, he beat a total pssy in Bute, and an over the hill Kessler (in a tough toss up fight). Now in all the fights I saw I have never seen quite a robbery that Dirrell got when he went to Nottingham and absolutely schooled Froch. I watched that fight 3 times and the best I could give Froch was two rounds. The man is so damn slow, heavy feet and absolutely zero zero technical ability. Really the man has no skill. Ok maybe I am a little harsh he is ok because he has won a title. I give him credit for his conditioning and will to win. But really the man needs to be humbled again like he was against Ward. I didn't like what I saw with Golovkin in his last fight but styles make fights and Froch is a slow plodding white boy who is going to get punched with fierce punches from a ****er. It will be fun watching Froch's arrogant ugly head getting punched in. Lord have mercy my wish will come true if Golovkin gets to punch this overated scrubs face in!

Man I would love for this fight to get made. Would be a calculated war, the best kind of fights where both guys have huge power and skills to go with it.

Probably the only possible fight for Froch right now that I wouldn't root for him to win.

War GGG!!!

Then why are Mayweather fights on PPV? There are no more predictable fights on PPV than Mayweather fights. Including the most recent debacle. And are you going to try to tell me that Pac - Algieri was not predictable? Please. How about you start by telling me when the last PPV was that was not predictable?

Mayweather fights r very predictable , I agree , but he's the largest PPV draw because of his large base of detractors aka racism , so they pay in hopes to see him lose . My comment was not saying that PPV fights r the best fights ie Manny/Algeri , rather I was attempting to convey that REAL BOXING ENTHUSIAST like many on this site can distinguish a great fight from some hyped up , highly predictable garbage like Manny / Algeri

Great fight!! Both are solid and extremely durable and both come forward. Doubt this would become an anti-climax. I'll buy it.

Tomorrow's headline:

Golovkin: Mayweather's ducking me!

[PulpFriction]

Will Ward ever be ready?

Let him build his fan base on BET first

GGG would be the first to stop Froch.

U guys probably thought Canelo/Kirkland was a consensus 50/50 fight

Jumping from 160 to 168 is a huge deal, and very very very rarely has a fighter been able to jump there and find the same success.

GGG is a natural 160 and Froch a natural 168. That is a big equalizer. Sure if they were the same size, Froch wouldn't stand a chance.

Because of that, it's a good fight.

I don't think this fight happens in vegas. They would probably put this on Sky PPV, and make a lot of money. And add 80,000 people in wembley to the mix, and you are good to go.

It's actually super nice when one of these big fights happens in Britain as we can watch the fight nice and early.

Still, don't understand the logic in having fights so late.

PBC might not be doing well, but at least Haymon is making small changes to protocol that vastly improves the watching experience and convenience, especially for a layman.

Froch will find out the reason Murray went 11 rounds was because he stayed in his shell didn't fight back.
