    No respect whatsoever
    Oh? Now all of a sudden for the first time in history you are praising Froch, a white Eurobum????? Would Froch be too slick for GGG? Does Froch live in a ****** with lots of mean streets? You like a white boxer? That's a new one.

      KO wins by GGG or he hurts Froch badly and wins a decision. Froch himself knows it, that's why Froch retired instead of facing GGG in his backyard.

        Absolutely. Froch is an excellent fighter, but his boxing skills are not the greatest. He was outboxed by Kessler, Ward, almost dropped a decision to Dirrell and was behind on the scorecards in both of his fights against the Saint. Froch is plenty tough.. but his only chance against Golovkin is to knock him out - which IMO will not happen.

        If they fought, it would have been a clear 111-119 or 118-112 win for Golovkin.

          THIS.....don't care what detractors say Dirrell boxed his ears off in his hometown & Ward beat him virtually one-handed. A depleted Jermain Taylor was up big until Froch KO'd him. Credit to Froch for having an impressive resume & accomplishing much with an iron chin & will but limited skills. Just think skills beats will in this matchup. GGG with.the "W".

            It would be a close fight for sure.

              Hard to say, Golovkin's never been in the ring with anyone remotely close to prime Froch. I can't possibly favor Golovkin because of that. Might be tough, but the only fighter that had an easy time with Froch was Andre Ward, who Golovkin fights nothing like. Carl loved fighting fighters like Golovkin. He had a hard time with fleet-footed boxers, not the guys who **** with him.

                    We still have merely no knowledge of the true skill of GGG in championship fights, Carl Froch on the other hand is proven, all-taking, stylemaster of disaster who always found a way to frustrate his enemies. He lost against a pure boxer spoiler, who's style is as far from GGG's as possible. I say Froch takes this, possibly by KO down the line.

                    Though this would be such a clash og styles that I'd love to see the fight, but sadly (and smartly) Froch hung em.

GGG is harder to hit than Froch. GGG punches harder and takes a punch better than Froch.
                      sadly GGG hasnt fought guys like Taylor, Dirrell, or Kessler in the pros

                      when you are fighting elite fighters, the blow outs and knockouts become less frequent

                      common sense....GGG looks awesome because he doesnt fight elite fighters.

                      All 3 guys are better than anyone he has faced in the pros.


                      he needs to step TF up already
