    A 40 years old coming off a 2 years layoff? Let the man enjoy his family.

      He'll probably be around 39 if the fight happens and honestly the layoff might have done him good.

        I could not possibly admire Froch more if he came back to fight Golovkin. I think it's a terrible idea but damn would he be a freaking hero for it.

          ... But Golovkin was after the UK money in Froch... On another hand GGG can't sell as Chavez Jr in Vegas, so I guess that Golovkin will not entertain the idea.

          Anyway: Hearn's job is to sell Froch's comeback, therefore he uses GGG's name in the process -- which is not new.

            Who is the fighter Hearn is talking about being added to the bill that everybody knows?

            Lots of people seem to think it's Malignaggi.

              How much money do you think Froch could make fighting Golovkin (at Wembley, of course)?

                A Froch comeback does not need "selling".

                  He makes more fighting Golovkin in Vegas or at MSG imo. Then it would be HBO PPV. Golovkin's last PPV didn't do great but I think a Froch fight would do a lot better.

                  If Froch is going to fight in England, he might as well fight DeGale.

                    Significantly less than against Groves because of the crazy purse bid limiting Groves to only 15%. Carl took home over $12mill US dollars, he'd probably have to settle closer to half or 2/3 that vs Golovkin. But he's gotta keep Rachel happy so......

                      Why would he be a hero for it? The only reason people want to see that fight is so Golovkin can have a win over him.
