Comments Thread For: Froch: Being an Underdog With Golovkin Excites Me

Then do it, Carl. Get fit and fight GGG. Don't let it be said the you are no better than Calzaghe was at the finish of his career (ducker - whether or not it is true). Personally, I think GGG will beat Froch from one ring post to the other and then knock him out showing that he, GGG, is definitely a breed apart from any other fighter whom Froch has faced, and the idea that Froch can beat GGG is laughable.

Froch being humble and self deprecating for once and a little harsh on himself. Im sure many would think he could beat GGG, although he probably would be underdog.

But he doesn't need to make hes been out for a year excuse......Froch has been around the block, he knows how to get in shape and when hes in the ring with GGG he will be in shape, the best hes ever been.

But he does sound serios about fighting GGG now though im convinced of that, whereas before I thought it was only maybe to avoid he was ducking Degale accusations.

If frock is 100% ready to fight and not thinking about retirement he beats ggg

I may be in the minority in stating this but I think Froch has an excellent shot at stopping GGG dead in his tracks.

No ,I agree, if the fight happens and Froch is the under dog I will most definitely stick a few quid on him G. will be giving too much size and weight and does get caught flush .

This is the kind of fight we want to see. A true 50/50 fight that could either propell Golovkin to the next level or cement Froch's legacy. Get it signed.

For GGG to convince me he can beat Froch, GGG would need the mindset that Froch would be the toughest opponent hes yet faced by far. He cant believe the hype about himself and that Froch would be easy in any way shape or form. If he thinks Murray was tough, Froch will be tougher still. Although im not saying GGG should have an inferiority complex, he should think that he must be firing on all cylinders and bring his A game to beat Froch.

Many underestimate Froch, but I know how tough he is because when you ask fighters who fought Froch and they are asked who is the best you fought, Frochs name will come up. Ask Kessler for starters, although Kessler might think JC was the best overall.

Froch said he's not making an announcement on retirement this week because he hasn't been able to meet with Hearn and McCracken.

Just in case anyone was holding their breath.

He did re-iterate however, that he still intends to carry out his threat of a fight on the cobbles with Joe Calzaghe when he sees him if he does not apologize.

Lol , Is that Calzaghe on the ski's or off ?

[BrometheusBob.]

Is Froch all that clear an underdog? Idk, I think this fight is pretty 50/50. Would be really good.

I think Froch would do to GGG what he did to Bute. Froch would KO GGG in six rounds.

If and when it happens, Roy Jones will marvel at what Froch did, while Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman would practically be in tears just like they were when Marquez KO'd Pacquaio.

Froch has fought all comers and the toughest out there win or lose. He is battle tested. What the hell has Golovkin done? Froch beats GGG down.
