Comments Thread For: Froch: Andre Ward is P4P 1, Golovkin Not in My Top Ten

[HeroBando]

How about you post the full quote next time, ******?

Here, just for you, moron:

"It was tongue in cheek back then. I was being a bit cheeky and you can take those comments with a pinch of salt. What I will say though is this guy can ****ing punch: he's dangerous and if he can be avoided we'll avoid him. I'll stand by that and I don't give a ****. But I'll fight anyone. I'll fight Golovkin, of course I would. At Middleweight he's dangerous but you don't know what he's going to be like at super middleweight do you? So what a great fight. Having said that, with what I've seen lately, he looks like he can punch at super middle."

Why do GGG fans keep talking about GGG challenging Froch?

It only serves to remind the real fans that GGG was brave and big enough to go up to 168 this year, but somehow lost his balls and his size when it comes to going up for Ward.

How does that even happen???

It's simple: at the time Froch was the clear A-side to GGG and would have done wonders in boosting GGG's appeal. It was also a mouth watering fight, and a significant risk for GGG, to go up in weight and face #1 active SMW, Ward's best win Froch on his home turf. Too bad Froch would rather swerve him

FTFY........

Now, about the 164lb catchweight...

Why was that necessary again?

Why did you bold the less interesting, wishy washy part? Did Froch end up fighting GGG? Didn't think so, he swerved him, as planned.

164 is not necessary, like back when HBO approached both guys and GGG said yes, Ward said no, that was probably 168 since Ward was the clear A side. But now he's B-side, yet wants 50/50 (even a year from now lol). B siders get to make concessions.

Some vacillating really doesn't help matters, when the part I quoted is that hard hitting. Double so when Froch eventually passes on the fight, consistent with "swerve him if we can", and not with "I'll fight GGG, of course I would".

Clearly says that it was a tongue in cheek statement. Unless you don't know what tongue in cheek means, I think it's pretty clear he wasn't serious. Made even more apparent by the fact that he says he'll fight the guy right after your favorite part of the interview.

The guy that went to war with Mikkel Kessler twice, and fought literally everyone worth mentioning at 168 is afraid of an unproven smaller man? If you believe that, well, bless your ******ed little heart.

And Ward would do wonders in boosting GGG's pitiful resume. But... Too much of a risk for boxing's most feared fighter i guess. Weird how that works.

I understand GGG being scared of Ward. I dont understand his fans defending his cowardice.

Did you forget to read the bolded part?

Yeah weird how he should receive criticism for offering to fight Ward's best win on his home turf, going up in weight, more risk than Ward has ever taken. Remind me, when did Ward go up in weight to fight p4p rated #1 active LHW, on the other guy's home turf overseas?

For the same reason you chose to highlight only a part of the quote, leaving out the full context. Propaganda. See below...

164 is not necessary

Exactly. GGG is a coward.

Whatever. Froch doesn't give a ****, he stands by his ducking words.

Then what do you call a guy who last fought at 172, takes forever to decide on an HBO deal cause they want him to fight the stiff midlevel prospect/contender Yuniesky Gonzalez (whom he turns down), and instead sends laughable offers to an unproven MW?
