    Froch. Better fighter and much better legacy.

    Seems GGG doesn’t care about legacy, he’s content with losing to a smaller guy for a good payday.

    to be fair, you cannot see Froch losing to a guy from a smaller division like what happened to poor ol 3g. Even if it happened he would sort it out in the rematch with a swift dragonballz face ko.


    but then it was only a very very marginal loss, lets not be too harsh on 3g.

    The fighter who put money over legacy cannot be ranked over the fighter with a better legacy.

    Are the wins over Abraham and Taylor really top wins? Or just top wins for Froch? Neither Taylor nor Abraham had big runs at 168. AA to a slight extant, with less than steller ops at 168 himself.

    I'd say their resumes are a pretty close. Overall, 3G has the better single win to his credit.

    they were qualified to fight at the top there with SMW wins.


    explain how lemmy or jacobs are better wins than frochs top ones, because they arent, you know this.

    Which single win would that be?

    Froch has multiple better wins, and no their resumes are not close.

    Coming 2nd in the SMW elite S6 tournie is a bigger legacy than losing to a single elite from the lower division.

    Since I already said that Carl Froch has a slightly better resume than Sergey Kovalev, and that Kovalev's resume is better than Golovkin's. There you go.

    Canelo of course. Go ahead and list these 'multiple' better wins. What's Froch's best, Kessler?

    And what SprMW wins did Taylor and AA have that suggested they should be there?

    I didn't say Lemmie or Jacobs. But what exactly is Froch's TOP win in your opinion?

    taylor beat lacy, thus prvoed he was in the runnings to enter. arthur beat taylor in turn, thus provimng he was in the runnings.

    whats your issue with this, you knew it already?



    they r GGG's top wins so u shuld be saying it, why rnt u?

    it seems like froch has the better resume. but i think ggg would win if they fought. most likely a decision. i think he would hurt and even prolly knock froch down in the process.

    Froch has the better record given that nobody at middleweight would touch GGG with a bargepole without making ridiculous demands.

    GGG's career is still onging though, hence I'm not sure why it is being talked about in the past tense. It would be more logical to wait until he retires.
