    “If I fight Golovkin, I will back up, take what he’s got, and beat him up.”

    That’s very interesting as Froch wanted nothing to do with Golovkin a year ago and admitted that he wouldn’t be interested in pursuing a “dangerous” fight against him.

    “Just swerve Golovkin like the plague. He punches like a mule. I don’t need to be in with him. Dangerous fight,” Froch said.

    Froch’s promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport, has confirmed that the fight is in negotiations, speaking with Daily Mail.

    “I’ve now spoken with Carl directly about this and he is interested. I only want him to take if he’s genuinely motivated because it is a high risk-fight,” Hearn said.

    Tom Loeffler confirmed that he has been in talks with Eddie Hearn about making what would be a tremendous fight, but Froch, as we have stated time and time again, is not committed to the sport any longer.

    “We’ve already asked for that fight. Gennady put in over 12,000 people in the [Forum], and Froch had 80,000 people at Wembley Stadium last year. There is no question; that would be a tremendous fight. I’ve told Eddie Hearn many times that Gennady would move to 168 and fight [Froch], but Carl is not committed to whether he’s going to fight again or whether he’s going to retire. But, that would be a great fight as well,” Loeffler said.

    Golovkin beats up and stops Froch late.

    Froch has nothing to lose as far as his reputation is concerned.
    If he loses the fight, he's going to claim he was years past his best, and he walks away with a big payday anyway.

    Will he make more than the 2 Groves fights? Because if he gets knocked out which I think he will, I'd think he would regret going into retirement like that. Right now he can walk around saying "I'm the guy who knocked out George Groves at Wembley in front of 80,000 people almost a year ago". You wouldn't want to finish that sentence with "then I got decapitated by a guy who is from a lower weight division".

    :smoke


    I can laugh about it now. Not so much then. :lol:

    That was about 2 grand worth of a trip, with light depression setting in at about midnight local time in Nottingham on the Saturday.


    If this fight comes off, I hope Carl goes full c0cky SOB in interviews and pressers. All kinds of beat-him-up talk. Why? I want to see the bad boy in GGG. You know, a level above the sh|t talking he gave to Stevens for disrespecting him.

    I don't think Froch was being serious when he said to swerve GGG like the plague. I think he exaggerated those comments on purpose due to all the hype he's been receiving.

    No doubt GGG punches hard but Froch has a ridiculous chin.

    I thought that GGG was trying to clean out 160 before moving up.
