Comments Thread For: Froch: I Have Not Been Impressed With Golovkin, Record is Thin!

[dougLand]

Carl Froch's obvious obsession with GGG must be troubling to his friends and family; worse, Froch apparently makes no attempt whatever to conceal it.

That Froch called out GGG, GGG accepted and said he would fight Froch at 168 in *England*; Froch backed down, then retired--is well documented.

Almost immediately after retiring, he began telling anyone would listen, including the Twitter universe, that *if* he did fight GGG, he would beat him.

In one tweet, he said he was "Too big & too strong for GGG"; a photo of Carl standing in front of a Smith Machine with his shirt off accompanied this Tweet.

In November of last year, Froch contacted Eddie Hearn to discuss the possibility coming out of retirement to fight GGG.

Froch let that incubate for about a month, then by late December he had changed his mind--no interest in fighting Gennady Golovkin--this time delivered directly to the British media: "Here and Now, I 'd beat Golovkin. I'm too big for him but it's not happening."

like some sort of school boy crush.

How is he bothering us. The clown ****ing is in a long line of ****s who talk but won't actually fight.



The best fighters on his resume are the same type of guys who would vacate a title before stepping in with Golovkin.



You still don't know geopolitics but still talk.



The **** you know about communism?

Hey Boris, Commies are all commies no matter what long name they come from. Commies like GGG cannot be trusted. Why don't they all fight in Russia or those type of miserable dumps of oppression then? God Bless America and Heil Trump.

Froch knows how to get under the skin of GGG fans

Nope, Froch is being fair here, I'm a GGG fan and I agree with Froch.

Froch is not trolling, just trading facts.

His opposition as a pro has been B-(Geale, Murray) or C (Wade, Monroe..).

Beating Jacobs would be beating a B+ fighter wich would be a true step.

But as Froch recognized, GGG is one hell of a fighter, and that's why I like the guy.

He has beaten A fighters in his amateur days.

Even when the guy is fighting a bum like Wade, you're kinda hyped for the fight, dude is entertaining and somehow has that "Tyson effect".

We, as well as the fighters, were given a gift with the Super Six. We, the fans were given the best SMW's, less Bute, in a tournament that basically crowned a lineal champ (Ward). To get there, Kessler, Dirrell, and Abraham obstacles for Froch and Ward. Both Froch and Ward, due to this difficult matchmaking, were able to clearly establish that they were the best in the division, which ultimately and rightly crowned Ward. The fighters were given a gauntlet to get through to the final. Froch has since retired, even though he was in competitive fights on paper with Bute and Groves. Ward fought Dawson and has since fought Kovalev. As such, these guys can say their records and opposition are tougher than GGG's. However, the point of this is that GGG hasn't been provided with a ready-made tourney to crown the champ of MW. He's tried, unsuccessfully at this point, to get in the ring with Saunders and Canelo. Kudos to both GGG and Jacobs for an anticipated MW fight in March. In the long run, I do not see GGG in fights that mirror either Froch's or Ward's ledger.

That super 6 tournament was a great stuff because it helped them to get big fights.

Unfortunately, GGG has been victim of the boxing game, he's been "high risks, low rewards" for Martinez, Cotto and Alvarez and those fights would have helped him to get true respect.

Now GGG is starting to bring a name and money to the table (thanks HBO who marketed him very well) and is starting to get big fights, unfortunately, dude is 35 and has been, training, fighting like a mule, probably his body is already declining.
