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

[hugh grant]

Froch shouldn't be scared of GGG. Yes, GGG beat Murray very well, but I think Froch would have done as well.

[MRBOOMER]

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



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

Why? He Seems to be intelligent knows frock has power and I'm sure his team watches tape enough to know that would be suicide. With Frochs long lay off and ggg's intensity that he brings it could end up bad for Froch. I feel what your saying though froch is a tough mf'er with better skills then given credit for and a rock for a chin. Plus he's the man at 168 in my eyes because wards so far removed so there's that too lol.

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.

Wrong. Froch won't even step into the ring with GGG, and not one of those fighters Froch has defeated is of the same level as GGG. GGG, if given the chance, will beat Froch as he's never been beaten before. And what's more, there isn't a fighter that Froch beat that would stand much of a chance against GGG. As for who has GGG beat, he's beaten every pro he's faced, and the ones he hasn't beaten are the ones which avoid him - and I say the Froch is one of this group. Only time will tell; however, Froch could cement his legacy if he were to be the first fighter to drop GGG let alone the first fighter to defeat GGG, and certainly if he were the first fighter to stop GGG; however, none of those scenarios are possible since Froch will not sign to fight GGG because Froch has turned into a blowhard. Instead of mouthing off about Joe Calzaghe this, that, or the other Froch should save his strength to announce a fight that could still be made - a fight with GGG. Don't hold your breath waiting; I certainly won't be holding mine.

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

Sure does. The strength is a toss up. Maybe a slight advantage to GGG since Froch is past it. And Froch has the size advantage & experience.

You should go ahead and change your name to aboutfkn******ed.
The "Golovkin who fought Monroe" is the same fighter he's always been. He feels guys out, decides whether or not they have any power in their shots, and proceeds accordingly.

Golovkin likely would've beaten Froch at any point in career. Probably not a KO, but he would beat him from pillar to post and win a lopsided decision. Gennady is simply the better fighter.

Cool story bro !

I wonder, at some point in Hypekins career, if he will attempt to prove you correct.

[umop-ap!sdn]

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.

I disagree mainly because Bute has a horrible chin while GGG has proven to have a lions whiskers. Meaning he can stalk you while eating your shots and that is a skill in itself. When you hit someone with ur best stuff and they still keep coming forward feeling strong, it will effect you mentally and possibly cause you to change gameplans.

Would he be though? If anything I would say it's an even odds fight.

Man GGG would lose to Froch imo, but he ain't no Bute. He is stronger and more tough than Bute is. Golovkin is just too small. If he were ever able to knock Froch around like these other guys I would incredibly impressed.

As soon as GGG fights a guy who can stand up to his punche's and push him back he is in trouble. I will stay by that. I even thought jr. would have given him a tough time.

They basically have nothing in common, that poster is just clueless

What we all can agree on is if this fight happens and a man wins by way of knockout it will be truly impressive. Well more than that. Golovkin would become pound for pound top 3 no doubt about it and his critics would finally now and if Carl does it his legacy as one of the greatest super middles of all time is set.
