    Waiting for you to deflect by bringing in Khan.
    He fought him willingly the first time, then fought him again (knocking him out cold) even though he didn't feel the need to.

    Not remotely comparable to the Calzaghe situation. He didn't do it once.

      He's no longer in his normal position. He's lost the competitive fire, he turns 38 in a few weeks, he hasn't fought in over a year, he has given up his belts....He's going to retire.

      Calzaghe refused to fight his domestic rival to retire. George Groves was Carl Froch's equivalent, Froch fought him, and beat him, twice before retiring. It's not the same situation.
      LOL.. I'm not from the UK so I don't give two craps about a "domestic rival". Froch is bowing out from facing GGG. Fair enough, no one should be forced into the ring if they don't want to be there, but this also ends any sort of foot to stand on from the Froch crowd. It's embarrassing.

        It's embarrassing because Froch started trash talking GGG as if he was getting ready for a fight. But then Golovkin took him up on it and that sent Froch into a period of deep reflection where he seems to have decided that it would be better to retire than to get a serious beating. He would have looked much better if he had made this decision before the trash talk, he would have gone out like a warrior. Now? Not so much.

          That was for the rematch. The first time he fought him as a mandatory which Calzaghe never did for him.

          Nothing wrong with what Joe did but suggesting Froch is a hypocrite is laughable.

            What "trash" has Carl Froch ever talked about Golovkin?

                Shocker. The most overrated Brit ever, and that's saying something, rather retire than get his face caved in. Ciao, ya big nosed ****.

                  How is that "trash talk". Froch is obviously confident he can win the fight but hes always shown Golovkin plenty of respect and admiration

                  You're just a sensitive little sissy who gets butthurt whenever anyone doesn't fellate Golovkin. You're 58 years old. Grow up pops

                      If anything that just hurt his retirement legacy a little bit. You don't just present yourself in the best shape of your life, call out the most dominant middleweight right now, say it is a walk in the park and then just retire. Pitiful but I'm not surprised
