Comments Thread For: Froch: I'd Want To Take Golovkin's Undefeated Record!

[crold1]

froch is a much bigger guy and has fought the best.
even without a tuneup he will most definatley be
highly favored by sportsbooks.

Given the roll GGG is on versus Froch's age, miles, and likely ring rust, I think GGG would be a solid favorite. I also think he would win. Taking the fight would be a very Carl Froch thing to do. If he retires, more power to him. If he takes it, win or lose, it's just one more thing to like about his career.

Don't expect GGG or his camp to comment on this. Abel Sanchez really messed up by running his mouth about GGG being the best from 154-168, he should have just said 160. Now there's pressure on GGG moving up and I don't think he's very eager to do that as he doesn't appear to have the size and his power won't hurt the big boys. There's a reason now that the 168 pounders are throwing bait out to see if he bites. This would be a pretty big fight out in the UK for huge money, but GGG knows even if he gets past Froch (big change he loses) he'll be entering Ward's territory and that fight will be in high demand.

I think his best interest would be just to shut down any talks of 168 and focus on trying to clean out 160, where huge fights with Cotto or Canelo potentially await.

GGG's team have been actively pursuing this fight. Tom already conceded the weight and location to Froch to make the fight. They even talked to HBO already. So yeah. They are very eager.

Froch should just talk about himself in the 3rd person.

[Slowhand]

This just might be the best match up I can think of. - People seem to forget that GGG can really box and slip punches when he wants to. No way he´ll be giving free shots to Froch like he did with Monroe and Geale. If this fight happens, Froch will be the only one using the Mexican Helmet Defense. GGG by late TKO.

Did you see how many flush shots monroe with his feather fists hit GGG with? GGG gets hit a lot man, and how will he get in on Froch? GGG is slow man, and 168 is a big step up his power will not carry over, he will just be slower than slow and the guys can take a punch better at that weight.

Froch stylistically is a nightmare for GGG, do you guys even study fights? or you just go off their records and stuff?

I still remember people thought Lucian Bute would destroy Froch but Froch knocked him out, took his belt and his 0.

Froch gets hit MAN
Froch is slow MAN

**** are you an idiot - froch looked far from stellar in his last two fights

of course he has a chance of winning because of his reach and heigh advantages

personally i think GGG kos - his power will carry up and froch is too easy to hit and he will get hit with combos ok MAN

jesus your a ******

[mrbigshot]

also judging GGG on the monroe fight is ******ed!!!

have you ever heard of guys going through the motions when they are looking for a marquee fight!!!!!

clearly a very uneducated tosser

If I were Golovkins team I would stay far away from Froch, in boxing styles make fights and this is a horrible match up for Golovkin.

Andre Ward would actually be less dangerous since he isn't a hard hitter like Froch and would go inside on Golovkin from time to time. Ward would still win on points but at least Golovkin doesnt have to worry about getting knocked out cold.

Froch is deadly for Golovkin, he can crack and has long rangey arms, To beat Froch you must smother him and tie him up in close and wear him down so he doesn't have room to use those long arms.

Golovkin will get knocked out because he is smaller and gets hit a lot. He also doesn't have the power to hurt Froch, Froch chin is proven, he can take a power shot flush and stand back up.

Kovalev said "I’ve got to hit him with everything I’ve got to keep him off me" "The kid’s rough. I admit that. I had to hit him with everything I have to get him off."

So Kovalev has to Hit GGG with everything hes got just to keep him off, but we are to believe Carl "68% KO" Froch is going to keep GGG honest?

Last I checked, his chin isn't what it use to be either... And he has no defense at all.

... Froch: "I'll fight Golovkin if I box again, but it's a big if."

... Froch wants to see if there's a solid demand for such a fight in the UK...
... But he didn't provide enough trash talk in order to get an instant response from the UK fans... I think that Froch isn't too convinced to get into the ring again.
