    at the moment i cant think of a fight at any weight I would like to see more , would be imho one of the truly great fights, I think froch should fight Chavez then golovkin and retire if he beats both he would probably retire with one of the greatest resumes ever. Eddie hearn make it happen please

    It's really not 50/50. Froch is tough and all that, and he'd give it a good go, but Golovkin would outclass him severely. It would be horrible to watch actually.

    Can't be sure GGG's power moves up with him plus he's a chunk smaller than Froch.

    He really hasn't. You don't even know how good Golovkin is.

    Golovkin has a great amateur record, something like 395 for 5, and he has looked outstanding at middle, but he hasn't fought anyone world class let alone elite, plus the fact he'd moving up and giving up 3 inches in height and a lot of reach (don't know how much exactly but Froch has long reach even for someone 6'1).

    Golovkin would outclass Froch in nearly every department, but the size and experience advantages, as well as the unknowns about Golovkin, make this a 50/50 fight IMO, that's if Froches chin holds up, he has taken a lot of punishment in Kessler and 1st Groves fights.

    Not sure GGG is popular enough to bring in the readies for a pension fight.

    Hearn said they would be willing to take the fight but HBO have told him it's not PPV worthy.

    no as lke everyone else I can only go on what I have seen and golovkin has not fought anybody elite yet where as froch has done on many occasions, I respect your opinion lets leave it as that

    do you mean great way to go out or froch would be forced to retire because of the nature of golovkin's victory?

    Never ever been a 50/50 fight imo.If any evens on golovkin would have my house on him at that price.

    Love it when sky go on about fifty fifty fights and in reality its like 1/4 at the bookies!

    id say ggg be 2/5 to win this if had to price up.To be fair think froch and in particular eddie hearn know how good golovkin is and realise theres easier fights out there for the same money i.e chavez who is probably an easy night for froch in all honesty.

    Not slagging froch in anyway as if anyone earnt the right to pick and choose its him.

    I remember when golovkin was well under the radar and was 11/8 to knock proska who had nearly been stopped by kerry hope who stops noone a few fights previously .Probably the best value bet iv ever had.Think the cats out the bag now on his prices when he fights unfortunately lol

    Same with Joshua and Price.

    There was a mini fortune to be made betting on Price at one point.
