    Mack was hurt and about to go before that shot.

    I agree about GG's jab giving GGG fits in the earlier rounds, just as with both Froch fights though, he loses that steam and gets caught late, as that would happen with GGG vs prime GG, Eubank is knocking out GG late as well; You can quote me on that.

    Possibly, not sure Eubank has pure KO power though. If Groves does get stopped he'll be on his feet with the ref stepping in.

    I don't think it'll be a one shot KO deal like Froch handed him in the 2nd fight, I see Groves' gas tank being empty around the 8th and Eubank about to unleash an accumulative amount of shots which will finish him, he will lose via another ref stoppage, which won't be too early. It may not be the 8th exactly, I see Euabnk having 8-12 to finish GG off, the same was he almost got rid of BJS. Both BJS and Groves have that similar style and have bad gas tanks, the difference is Eubank has improved quite consideribly since BJS and Groves is past his best. I'm not betting against prime Eubank.

    Would look like the Arthur Abraham fight except Froch gets the stoppage late.

    I guess you must favour 160lb AA over GGG than? Hahahah You're trying to insinuate that AA is better than GGG, he's not even on the same ballpark I'm afraid.

    Why was his prime in 2011?


    Why are you so confident he'd have won, considering:

    He's a hittable MW.

    He's not particularly big, only possessing a 70" reach.

    He's never had a single fight at SMW.

    ?


    If you think he'd have won, that's cool with me. But to be so confident, using words like 'easily' etc, is based on absolutely nothing. In my honest opinion, that line of thinking is just ignorant.

    So:

    Prime Kessler would have beaten GG, yet GG would have beaten Carl easily?

    How does that make sense?


    GG would have knocked out both Dirrells?

    Based on what?

    This is coming from RJJ easily beats everybody? Yeah, sure ok. You'd have no problem stating RJJ knocks out Froch no problemo at 168lbs woulnd't you? GGG pre-2014 beats any version of Carl Froch, don't like my opinion, I don't really give 2 ****s to be honest with you.

    Good post, but I don't think Carl ever wanted to fight Andre again.

    Prime Kessler would have beaten Carl Froch much easier than the slightly faded version did in their first bout, again if you want to think Kessler was still in his prime, I don't give another **** because he clearly wasn't. When Kessler vs Froch 2 happened, both past their damn primes, what part of this are you not getting exactly? I'm stating GGG knocks out both Dirrells because he hits a lot harder than AA and cuts of the ring a lot better. A whole lot more aggresive and accurate as well, care to disagree, again, I don't give a ****.

    Warren pubically offered Froch a fight, at either 168lbs or 175lbs, Froch said the WBO was not a real belt and declined the biggest offer of his career to that date. Cleverly at the time was even being lined up to fight Hopkins(Who's a bigger name and a much harder task than Carl Froch)

    Golovkin = Elite
    Froch = B+

    50/50 only because of the size difference.

    If you think Froch is as skilled or better than Golovkin then you’re either a Golovkin hater or Froch nut batter guzzler. Or both.
