    People reporting this would be at Wembley? Not sure this would do those numbers but it will still be a very big fight.

    Also, if it does happen, which i doubt it does and if it was an outdoor UK fight, If they could get a deal done soon, they could have it for end of July or early august. Decent time of year in terms of Weather for an outdoor fight.

    I don't think this fight happens though.

      Hearn said it, came from him. I was sceptical as to whether it would fill Wembley either but I guess with the right co-main it possibly could.

      A good event would be Froch-Golovkin with Groves-DeGale II as co-main or maybe Kell Brook against a top welter.

        Wembley holds a partially retractable roof.

            I'd lean towards GGG , but it's a big step up for the Kazak.

            I don't think Froch 's reach is going to be an important factor here. The "Cobra", in my opinion, would have to come forward and push GGG back, he's not going to win this fight on the back foot.

            He lacks movement and defense for it, and would fight GGG's fight that way. He's though the bigger man and as tough as nails, if he manages to push GGG back the fight might be interesting.

            If he tries to box off his back foot GGG is going to be there all night, doing what he does best: stalk and unload.

              I think it would. Sky would promote the hell out of it, keep referring to Golovkin as a terminator, showing his KO highlight reels etc. Add a decent co-main as you say etc.

              I bet Hearn is getting hard just thinking about it.

                If Froch shows up fully fit I'd pick him by stoppage.

                The Froch from the first Groves fight or the Ward fight would get his boots smoked by GGG.

                  Tend to agree, and judging by his comments Froch has already worked that out. He said he intends to back him up.

                    Equally, he could do a Abraham style job and work on the backfoot behind the long jab.

                    GGG has never seen anything like Froch's jab and would probably feel it quite a bit. However, Froch likes a tear-up so I can't see him doing that for long. He would want to take GGG out to make a statement.
