    Would have been a good fight if GGG carried the extra weight well.

    It didn't exactly look bad, he was hardly hurt. Naz has a granite chin but was down many many times .

    Then why didn't Golovkin put Kells lights out ?

    Do you remember what Froch did to Taylor and Groves ?

    Only time i remember Froch looking clueless, was against Ward, and Ward is bigger, and far more skilled than Golovkin, thats why he's avoided him like the plague.

    Like i said, tell me the last time Golovkin put somebodies lights out ?

    Golovkin would outbox Froch, then set him and knock him out..................Froch has his chance to fight Golovkin but refused..................

    GGG wouldn't be able to walk Froch down and is very easy to hit so I reckon Froch would win and I could see GGG on his arse.

    Educate??? Someone's weight doesn't make them have more or less of a chin.. Brook was 168 plus on the night. He isn't actually a Welterweight, boxing is very weak that on most occasions it lets certain fighters cheat and put on a lot of weight after weigh in. This gives them an unfair advantage over others .. As for Brooks chin.. If you look at Brooks legs and neck they tell you that he would have a good chin. He took big punches but not so many clean. Brook fights at angles so is not moving back in straight lines... This would be Froch's problem. Froch's chin is good and he is a relentless fighter unfortunately for him that plays into GGG's hands. The fight would end as soon as GGG caught him clean

    Froch has a massive reach advantage over GGG. Naturally bigger guy he might be able to keep him away with a jab straight combo and not let GGG get close. No one has been able to back GGG off yet. Froch might have.

    Its 50/50 but Froch is the type of fighter who could give GGG problems. Someone coming staight forward throwing power shots isnt going to bother Carl much. He struggled with movers and slick fighters like Dirrell

    That's the bit that the GGG cheerleaders want to ignore, 5 inch reach advantage and Golovkin's almost none existent defensive head movement.

    Froch is simply too big and too retired for GGG. There's no way Golovkin beats him because he was never seriously interested in fighting him.

    Where exactly did i say that weight determines a fighters durability ?

    I said that Golovkin was unable to KO Brook, and that Golovkin is a Middleweight and Brook is a Welterweight.

    The FACT is that Brook is a career welterweight, and his walk around weight has absolutely nothing to do with cheating, how is somebody cheating if they make weight ?

    As for the assumption that a thick neck and thick calf muscles equal granite chin, then you show me a hundred granite chinned fighters with these qualities, and i'll show you a hundred others that don't have a chin, and another hundred with pencil necks and legs who do have a chin.

    Golovkins power is totally unproven at SMW, and Frochs chin has proven to be bulletproof at SMW.

    How are you so certain that Golovkin will KO a bigger, stronger fighter that has never been stopped ?

    60/40 to froch both in their prime. Size, reach, chin and power. We haven't seen how ggg would react to being hit by the bigger man. I would not be surprise froch tko GGG.

    Ahhh the whiff of a 'casual'.... masquerading conjecture as fact. You can't possibly know this is true and don't bother replying trying to imply you do. Don't believe all you read on YouTube comments under clips entitled 'GGG mega power knock out top 10, boom boom, drama show'
