    Geale was landing and managed to stun Golovkin abit.

    Golovkin is a monster no doubt and has great skills, but one thing i'm sure of that he doesn't have an iron chin, he was hit many times by Geale & if Daniel managed to get the respect of Golovkin, then he could've boxed his way to a decision victory.

    At 168, some of his power and speed will probably go away. He'll become more ineffective against a guy like Carl.

    I'm not saying that Froch will win by ease, but i am telling you that Froch will hurt Golovkin like never before and if Froch can take some of GGG's shots, then he will be at deep water. In terms of offense, GGG is one of the best, but his defense is bad. He is very skilled boxer, but not a slick one like Ward & Dirrell which caused Froch all sorts of problems. I actually give Froch a pretty good chance of stopping Golovkin at 168.

    When did Geale stun Golovkin? Please timestamp a Youtube video. It shouldn't take long to find this alleged stunning. They only fought nine minutes. Even better if you "remember" which round, narrowing it down...

    Took geale and Stevens best shots and didn't flinch, look at the knock out for example

    The mans got a cast iron chin

    Geale never stunned Golovkin. Geale is not a puncher it's why Golovkin just tried to walk through him after the 1st round and probably got caught so much because he had no respect for Geale's power.

    But I will add that Golovkin can't do that at 168lbs against guys like Froch, Kessler and Groves.

    Not sure geale stunned golovkin but the rest I totally agree with his defence is very average froch would beat him, groves hit froch with one of the punches of last year which knocked him out but he just got up and smiled, insane chin golovkin wouldn't trouble froch at 168

    we probably wont find out
    golovkin wants cotto to inherit the mantle - after that, a move up might be for ward only

    even if it is which I don't agree with froch's is on a different level and his power at 168 is probably the same as golovkins would be, froch would win. Lets hope it happen will be a awesome tear up

    I doubt froch is on a "different level"
    hes never been the best in his division, and I doubt too many think golovkin isnt
    the million dollar question is would golovkin carry his power at 168?

    Froch makes GGG good boy after keeping him on the end of his Dhalsim jab for 12 rounds

    i don't recall ggg being stunned at all...even "a bit." the guy gets hit, but he also picks a lot of shots off and is always in position to throw back.
