Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Reacts To Froch-DeGale, Weight Claim

[Boxing Goat]

... Froch would rather fight DeGale -- easier fight, much more interesting for the home public... (The Brits would not have paid to watch Golovkin hammering Carl... no brainer.)

I think that the fight would sell extremely well in Britain

[Mr.Daddy]

I knew that would get his ball lickers mad...lol. But my point remains, hell go to 168 for lesser competition but not strive for greatness, he knows he can beat those other guys and the cans he faces, but he doesnt have that kind of confidence in facing ward...lol

Get this, foul mouthed troll: GGG replied, "Yes." to HBO about fighting Andre Ward. Ward replied, "No." to HBO about fighting GGG. They were meeting with HBO when this exchange took place. For whatever reason, Ward said, "No." to fighting GGG when he was asked by HBO. At the same meeting, GGG said, "Yes." to fighting Andre Ward when asked by HBO. "Yes." was GGG's reply, and "No." was Andre Ward's reply. Can you understand that? Or won't you understand that because it's too difficult for you to admit that Andre Ward declined to fight GGG when HBO specifically asked him about fighting GGG at the very same meeting where HBO specifically asked GGG about fighting Ward. Once more: GGG said, "Yes." and Andre Ward said, "No."

Sorry ggg, you don't bring nothing to the English table that would compare to a Froch DeGale fight. Get in line or keep picking on those little fellas at 154

He did get in line, he's been after Froch for at least a year. Somebody ducking GGG, nothing new, but Froch has such a great rep for fighting the best, plus advantages in size, home turf, experience and its still not enough

[Weebler I]

Right. No clue why Froch said that. Maybe miscommunication between him and Hearn. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Clock is ticking though, Golovkin can't wait forever. Hopefully Froch makes a decision soon but it seems like he prefers DeGale, which obviously I have no problem with being his a title holder in his division.

Fighting Golovkin after a year and a half out would be suicide, I don't think fighting DeGale after that long out is clever either. Froch setting himself up to be KO'd.

[NEETzsche]

fair enough if he chooses degale, but he needs to stop giving it the big'un re. golovkin now. not a good look lying to the media and being contradicted by your own promoter

[HeroBando]

LOL, ggg will go to 168 for Froch or Chavez Jr, but not for #2 P4P, he doesnt want to strive for greatness, he fights cans. And he wanted Froch to come down in weight (why else the need for his promoter to deny it) But obviously if he can go up in weight for Chavez Jr or Froch, why not Ward? Cause he's SCARED OF WARD.

You're an idiot, nothing new. Get this, Froch is Wards best win and he didn't have to go up in weight or travel to the UK to face him. GGG is willing to do both, still not enough for Froch

[bigjavi973]

So if Froch fights Degale for the IBF 168 lbs title hes "ducking" GGG?

It's a risk and reward scenario. If you think he's really 'scared' of Ward, you are clueless.

[SP4RTICUS]

IMO Froch has a much better chance vs GGG than he does vs Degale, GGG does not like getting backed up or bullies by the much bigger man, and we all know Froch thrives on a war.

The question is, which fight gives Froch the most money for the least potential brain damage, and which fighter beating Froch gives his promoter the best advantage?...........no.........stillno?

[i'm a fun haver]

Carl Froch just playing the name game like the rest of them.
Never thought I'd see that.
I'm sure he will make his decision to fight again AFTER GGG announces his next opponent lol. Sad day
