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

[MRBOOMER]

I would love to see this fight because I know Froch would beat Golovkin down.

How do you know that?

[aboutfkntime]

Lol, I's personally have four time world champion Froch as the slight favourite at 168.

Same !

But Froch is likely correct, in that most people wont see it that way.

It likely depends on how much Froch has left in the tank.

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.

that wouldnt surprise me,
i do get the impression that GGG will come into the fight with the same frame of mind as bute,
thinking froch is slow, doesnt have much skills and is just a brawler,
all you have to do is look at how that ended lol

say what you want about frochs skills but you hurt him and the guy just keeps coming back stronger lol

Monroe has like 4 knockouts

if monroe was knocking his head back, imagine what the cobra would do

Monroe has like 4 knockouts

And Rubio had what? 51? But everyone dismissed him because who cares how many KOs someone has, doesn't make him a better challenge. Yeah, it doesn't matter who GGG fights or what their record is, there will always be someone trying to marginalize it.

When he beats Froch it will be the same thing. Not a great opponent for him, too old, end of his career, never would have beaten him in his prime, had one foot out the door to retirement... did I miss any?

[aboutfkntime]

the idea that Froch can beat GGG is laughable.

When you dream about Golovkin, does he tuck you in, and kiss you goodnight ?

You really haven't watched too many GGG fights have you? Golovkin goes into every fight taking the first round or two to evaluate his opponent. He does not go in with preconceived ideas. Once he knows what he is up against, he modifies his style to match.

So far with 33 wins in 33 fights and 30 KOs, 20 in a row, and 345 wins in 350 amateur fights, I figure GGG knows what he is doing. He doesn't underestimate his opponents but he does decimate them.

ive watched him, i like and rate him as a fighter,
im just not 100% convinced with him and i just think he will be biting off more than he can chew with the cobra...

That's how I view Golovkin. Like the next Lucian Bute because he is famous and known for a big punch but take that away and he will lose. It's not easy to out fight Froch. He is as tough as they come.

Take away his "big punch" and Golovkin still has a 345-5 amatuer pedigree that saw him knockout Bute with headgear on in the 2nd round and also win silver in the Olympics by defeating the likes of Andre direll . People think he's just a puncher .. Not to mention he's got a chin like hell and spars and manhandles much heavier guys!

[aboutfkntime]

Not sure about that. Bute could give a good shot, but couldn't take one. Golovkin takes a good shot and keeps coming with heat of his own. Monroe landed some good leather on Golovkin, who seemed to eat it up and come even harder.

Yep.

Bute got bent early in that fight.

He was nowhere near able to go 12 rounds with Froch.

I am not a Golovkin fan, but I think he is definitely sturdier than Bute.

60/40 Froch.

Gotta back the 168 guy who has done it before, over the 160 guy who hasnt.

The only question is how much does Froch have left.

If Froch struggles in camp, then 60/40 Golovkin.

The Froch of 3-4 years ago beats the Golovkin who fought Monroe.

[RED REP]

Bute < Golovkin hahaha.
Goes without saying.
