    Well it's not much better than that, is it?

    Kovalev has shown more wrinkles to his game, beaten better opponents, is bigger, more athletic.

    Froch would be crazy to come back and fight him. He literally has no advantages in that fight. Froch's size and length alone would be a problem for GGG.

        If Froch needs a tune up above the SMW limit sometime late next year, I'm sure Ward would love to take that fight and then pull out with some injury

          Definitely not.

          Kovalev is a tougher fighter for Froch OBVIOUSLY, but GGG has more assets to his game than Kovalev imo.

          Though Kovalev showed great skills vs Hopkins.

          GGG is the more athletic and generally more diverse in his fighting style.

            What? When has GGG ever showed better athleticism or diversity? His footwork is good coming forward but he has never looked good on the backfoot. He's a lot slower and easier to hit than Kovalev.

              Many times. He has showed many different aspects to his game, mixing it up on the inside, outside, uppercuts, hooks, body / head. Can jab and move, can duck and roll too.

              I'm not saying Kovalev is a stiff, he's not. But he's stiffer and more 1-2 than GGG is.

                Many times? I've never seen Golovkin fight well off the backfoot.

                  Didn't say he fought off the backfoot. Because he never had to.

                    GGG is the superior boxer p4p but yeah Kovalev would be too much for froch. Too big, too much power and very good at controlling the distance. Froch would have a better shot against GGG due to size not due to Kovalev being 'better' than GGG imo. Kovalev is a big light heavy. GGG is a small to perfect sized middleweight.

                      Even Froch coming out of retirement in a wheelchair to fight Lil G. will be 10x better than ANY punching bag that they put in the ring against him soo far. 40 years old and his best opponent was Mario Lemuix.

                      Ohhh can't forget about how 4' 5" Stevens was WAY tougher of an opponent than 2x Gold 1x Siler Olympian Champion and 2x weightclass (1 more than ggg ever gets) Champion...

                      Erislandy Lara who went MD lost against PAUL WILLIAMS!!! Who embarrassed Trout. And practically has a HOFame career "pro" career compared to Lil g.

                      GGGTARDS you REALLY going to stick with that story??? SMH...Of course. I should of known better.
