    Carl Froch has fought lots of great fighters - he deserves a lot of credit for not ducking anyone up to the year 2014.

    But let's remember he beat Jermain Taylor and Arthur Abraham who had no decent wins at supermiddleweight. They were hopeless against him and went on to do nothing at the weight.

    So now, instead of fighting IBF champ James DeGale, Froch wants to fight another middleweight. Of course, Froch loves fighting guys who come forward, but Golovkin is smaller than him and will probably not be able to take the power.

    Froch has already taken punches from guys who hit at least as hard as GGG - Mikkel Kessler being just one example.

    This fight will ruin GGG's career and do nothing for Froch's career. It's just a money grab by Froch.:deal

    Taylor was the WBC Champion at Middleweight and Froch went to his hometown to beat him for his title as his mandatory. Abraham was an opponent he had to fight due to the Super Six tournament and very few gave him a chance in this fight nor expected him to pull it off the way he did. Froch is also highly proven in his own weight class and definitely a HOF quality A class fighter. He proved it in the ring.

    You are just another mentally ill GGG fan who seems to forget that Froch never went in as a 200/1 favorite fighting absolute hopeless bums like GGG is doing while shamelessly calling out Welterweights for a payday.

    1. Everybody likes money (not Floyd).
    2. The fans want the fight.
    3. Many people think GGG would beat Froch.

    All 3 of your points are true.

    But fans are dead wrong in thinking GGG beats Froch. That's why I call this a cherry-pick on Froch's part.

    Froch has fought pretty much everyone of note at 168. Calling him a cherry-picker for fighting a top 10 p4p guy, who almost certainly would be the betting favorite over him is ridiculous.

    I mentioned he took on all comers until 2014, when he showed a clear unwillingness to fight James DeGale, who is obviously the best SMW out there.

    He's like 38 years old. He said he's gonna retire unless he gets a big money fight - maybe he and Eddie Hearn feel like Degale isn't enough of a draw.

    Froch is a warrior, an international superstar who knocked out George Groves at Wembley Stadium in front of 80,000 people

    And if the rumour was he was fighting DeGale you'd say why is he ducking the raging inferno that is Golovkin, he is scared to fight a smaller man.
