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

[tokon]

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.

a lot of truth in that post . . . .

Diggler any wager you wanna make in regards to golovkn facing dirrell....let's have it.....golovkin beats any fighter from 154 to 168....in fact he walks right through them....in 2 years your be crying your eyes out when golovkin has beaten all the fighters your boasting about...ward will be long gone after kovalev has sent him packing.....canelo would have had no choice but to face him and lose...who else are you gonna put forward for golovkin to beat..your a desperate gurner

Team Golovkin didn't seem too keen to take Lara up on his offer to come to 160 for the fight . . .

By "that type of person"....do you mean a professional boxer? Because most boxers should believe they can beat anyone.

There's a difference between believing you can do something and having the desire left to do it, especially at his age.

Correct.

Froch always comes across as abrasive, and people I have spoken to that have been in camp with him say he is not particularly likeable (to be polite). However that aspect of his personality also contributes to what makes him the man and fighter he is.

I think that he does genuinely believe that he would beat both Golovkin and Degale; why would he not think that way?! But whether he has the actual desire to make the sacrifices required to actually it, at 38years old, financially comfortable and after a series of fights that stacks up against anyone else, is another matter.

The only fighter i can recall Froch ever seeming to express doubts about beating was on the subject of a Ward rematch, which he never really pursued with enthusiasm!
