    Froch vs GGG: You Gotta Love it!

    Everything about this fight makes me want to watch it. Even though Froch has been out of the game for a while and is 'getting on' a bit, the Cobra comes to fight. He has beaten everyone they've put in front of him other than Ward, and knows how to use his jab (unlike Lemieux).

    I can see it being a battle of the jab for the first few rounds, then an action-packed for the rest. Golovkin wants to keep that KO streak going and let's face it, Froch can only win by stopping Golovkin. That's why he will try to do, with everything he has got.

    Ultimately I see this fight going the distance, Froch being knocked down once and Golovkin getting a decision.

    It would've been a great fight if Froch was still in his prime. I think this version of Froch gets wrecked by Golovkin.

      Froch being bigger and having the reach advantage are fairly new problems to GGG and he is of course also easily more proven than anyone GGG has ever fought. That being said he has seen better days.

      I'm picking Golovkin to win on points. I think this is a good fight and real test for GGG that will give us a much better idea of where he is against top fighters. It still won't make him P4P #1 obviously but it'd be much more telling than either Murray or Lemieux.

        Agreed. But I think the fight itself would be great to watch

          i think froch makes ggg take a knee at some stage but ultimately he quits late on his stool or loses on points.

            Ward vs golovkin would have been so much better

            2 undefeated fighters that look unbeatable.

            Instead we get golovkin vs froch.

            1 undefeated fighter vs a past prime fighter that has been out for over a year

            Good style matchup, but no glory for golovkin if he wins

              would be a great fight, but its been a while since Froch has fought, a tune up wouldn't hurt.

              Froch is pretty old and had some grueling fights and is probably comfy chilling at the crib

                GGG would win by KO. He is ten times the fighter and puncher Taylor is and Taylor hurt Froch a lot. Froch is not as good now as he was when Taylor dropped him. I doubt Froch will go through with this fight. It's one thing to talk about fighting GGG and quite another to actually fight him. Froch is a good fighter but GGG is a better one and he can spot him the weight and still knock Froch out.

                  Taylor never really hurt Froch, it was the speed that troubled Froch more than anything. Golovkin is pretty slow despite being a better puncher than Taylor.

                    GGG a little slower but I think his timing is much better.
