Comments Thread For: Carl Froch: I'm Happily Retired, I'd Bash Up DeGale

[Dirk Diggler UK]

GGG already beat up Dirrel in the amateurs, damn how this would play out in the pros, it wouldnt even be funny. That clown would never step into a ring with GGG. He would jump out of the ring faster than Cintron vs Paul Williams and then acts like GGG threw him out.

The amateurs?

Only a GGG fan would bring that up to support his weak ass resume.

And Dirrell also beat GGG in the amateurs so its 1-1.

Andre Dirrell is better than anyone Golovkin has shared the ring with, I do know that.

Actually, can't argue with that.

I kinda think of Degale like Brook, 1 good win, just stepped onto the world stage really..... but yea, that was a real good win no question.

[aboutfkntime]

Who talked to you?

I just proved you GGG haters wrong. With facts.

And you? No arguments. Just insulting.

Yawn. i tell you something, you GGG haters are intellectually so far behind, so predictable, so lowbrow, its not even fun to beat you up again and again.

Let me hear another insult. Thats all you have left. Your "arguments" are all proven wrong or wishful thinking.

The fact is..... you are guessing, because your guys has not stepped up yet

good luck ^^

If Froch was to "come out of retirement" (in quotations because I feel that, at present, his "retirement" is sort of debateable) then the biggest money fight for him right now is almost certainly Degale.

The fight itself does not mean too much to too many people outside UK but it is a stadium fight and PPV and will earn Froch and Degale (and Hearn) more than any other fight. An easy one to make too as both with Hearn.

Personally, I sort of hope Froch stays retired. Beating Degale doesn't do too much for him, except earn him a huge amount of money. If he fights him within the next six months I think he beats him, probably by late stoppage.

The only fight that would increase Froch' HOF credentials would be to come back and beat Ward. Even in the UK I think the odds are against him; the fight would not pay as well as an easier fight with Degale; and it is a difficult fight to make so won't happen.

A Froch-Golovkin fight does not really tick any of the boxes, does it? It would not pay as well as a Degale and a win would not be as satisfying as beating Ward. Chances are, if Froch won, it would be a case of "well he was the naturally bigger stronger man . . . ." That fight is more to Golovkin's benefit than Froch' IMO.

Unless you NEED the money, stay retired please!

Where do you pull your 97k from? From "gay online bloggers"?

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/boxing/golovkin-s-ppv-debut-sells-slightly-more-than-150-000--turns-a-profit-001737498.html

It sold 150k. Not bad for a first PPV.

Cotto sold 60k on his first.

We all know Froch is shook of GGG. Not many people give a damn about Froch vs DeGale, everyone knows Froch is running scared of GGG.

Nothing worse than a guy who cant make up his mind if hes gonna return or not and even worse if he says "hed bash degale" with no intention of fighting. Degale would beat him Ward style. Then he'll fight ward to see who gets full custody.

Froch vs DeGale would do numbers in the UK & sell out more than 20k in a STADIUM! Y'all GGG fans need to realize he's an HBO hype job. I'm not saying he's not a good fighter but his hype exceeds his accomplishments, he's 33 years old without a single signature win. IDK why you're comparing Cotto's first PPV to GGG's. Cotto was not HBO's featured fighter when he made his PPV debut. Compare GGG's first PPV to other HBO featured fighters like De LA Hoya.

Froch isn't running scared of GGG. There's no money in fighting GGG. People were afraid of Tyson but they fought him because it paid well. Ward paid Rodriguez 1mil to fight him on regular HBO. Kirkland got KTFO for $1.3 mil on regular HBO. Lemieux got $1.5 on a PPV for a unification bout, that's underpaid. K2 can lure Froch out of retirement for the right price. Froch has been in the ring with killers, scared is the last word I'd use to describe him.

Wasn't Cotto's first PPV a Top Rank PPV?

His first HBO PPV was against Judah from what I remember.

GGG fans distorting reality again.
