    Froch would stop GGG. He would ride some sticky moments to batter him late with the ref stepping in. Froch is a monster.

    Froch knows GGG would give him a seriously hard nights work.. and he'd have to put a serious shift in during his camp as well. It's a massive fight.

    If you were Froch, had already been there and done it as far as fighting the best around.. back to back, year after year... were coming to the end of your career and could bow out with a Las Vegas fight which would earn you more ££££ against a more winnable/less grueling fight in Chavez or put yourself through hell for GGG, I think most people would do the same as what he's looking to do - the Chavez fight makes the most sense, all things considered.

    You consistently chat utter s***e like many Londoners. Styles make fights, as you say, Golovkin is not slick, he is not fast, he is not a mover, he is a pressure fighter who will be in front of you all night. That is exactly what Froch wants. He has a 3 inch height, massive 5 inch reach advantage and would carry 7 or 8 lb weight advantage on the night. No way is Golovkin walking Froch down and if they used a tiny ring like last night, it would seriously backfire on GGG.

    I am not questioning who is the superior fighter P4P, Golovkin is better in almost every department, but he is not a Super Middle and Froch would beat him at 168.

    Your also seriously under rating Feock by saying he has nothing but a chin, he is one of the most well conditioned, determined and courageous boxers out there.

    One more thing, GGG s defense wasn't look great last night, Froch with a 5 inch reach advantage would land at will.

    How anybody can watch that last night, then continue to bang the drum tha GGG stops big nose doesn't know ****. Golovkin would wilt under Frochs pressure. Murray gave glimpses of the blueprint that beats GGG, somebody of Frochs size, quality and durability will deal with Golovkin.

    Carl needs this fight like a hole in the head. Golovkin CAN move, that's how he manouevred Murray around the ring at will.

    Carl could pull it off, no doubt. But it would be a harder nights work than he needs right now, he should be looking to cash out. The only fight worth anything right now for GGG is Ward. Undisputed no. 1 middle against the undisputed no.1 super middle. Good thing is it's the only fight worth anything for Ward too, I think it will happen.

    I'm not so sure about that. Froch himself has said he will avoid him if he can. Quite a few guys have had some success standing in front of Froch - Ward, Kessler, Groves, Johnson, Pascal. Just being rangier and maybe a little heavier might not be enough for Froch to beat GGG because GGG has the tools to deal with that.

    Froch all day long for me. Granite chin, if Murray can take all those shots then froch can and froch has underrated power of his own and the ring smarts to make it awkward for GGG.

    Frochs will and heart would see him through, ggg has never been taken into deep waters before which this fight would see him in.

    Would be a great fight, between two great boxers made of steel but there is only one winner in my opinion.

    People like Blobby keep talking about how GGG is easy to hit etc...who cares? He is more than happy to take a shot because he has a great chin and it is opening his opponents up anyway. Nobody has driven him back.

    He would easily stop Carl. Froch has a **** poor defence and would be a punching bag for GGG.

    Pointless dicussion anyway. Froch himself admits that he doesn't want anything to do with GGG. He knows he would lose.

    You seriously think someone as arrogant as Froch would openly make that admission? It was obviously said cynically and if you disagree with that your a sad wind up merchant or a total idiot. In your case both. When Martin Murray was asked how to beat him last year he said "with a baseball bat". I suppose he forgot it last night?

    That's a great post, Froch has had so many tough fights in his career, I just don't see why he would take Golovkin over Chavez Jr at this stage.

    Billy is saying Golovkin gets hit too much but look at Froch. I would like to see the fight it would be a war.
