    Would a PPV with GGG bring Froch out of retirement?

    i know even froch had made statements that sounded as if he were afraid to face GGG, but i cant help but think this would be a hell of a fight.
    what kind of PPV $ do you think Froch would have to be offered to take it? It probably would be a huge fight in europe...

    if youre looking for someone who can take punishment from GGG i dont think theres a better candidate than Froch... hes like granite, and avenged only his 2nd loss. when i see him fight i see him without a lot of movement, sits down on his punches, swings in combos, takes returns, and has KO power

    would GGG be up for it at 168?

    Where did he say he was 'afraid' of Golovkin? He was contemplating retirement and stopped competing because he just didn't have it in him anymore. He could have stayed on and fought Golovkin but he doesn't need him. He's already reached legend status and made his money.Mr 150k and you have to meet me at 164 has nothing to offer the Cobra.

        He said he'd "swerve Golovkin like the plague". But that was years ago I believe, I'm sure he would fight him now were he still active. Froch wasn't the greatest, but he was a warrior.

          Froch retired the best 168 pounder on the planet. He is a legend

                  PPV fight in the UK vs GGG at 168 didn't keep Froch from retiring.
                  Why would it bring him out of retirement?
                  The man is retired
