Carl froch has ggg as number 8 p4p

Froch reminds me a bit of Lennox Lewis belittling Vitali. Anytime they asked him in 2002-2004 if he thinks Vitali is any good "Nah, he's not very good. Nothing special". Lennox tried to belitte Vitali so the lack of a rematch doesn't reflect so badly on himself. Fast forward 10 years and most pundits agree Vitali belongs in the top 25/30 HW ATG of all time. Vitali was the only HOF fighter Lennox beat in his prime, actually one of the - if not THE - best win on Lennox' record.

Same with Froch. He tries to lower the importance of a fight vs. Golovkin. Comparing GGG to guys like Eubank Jr. and BJS (who really never fought anyone) is quite revealing. Froch said beating Golovkin won't eclipse beating Groves in "front of 80,000 in Wembley". Seriously, who is Groves in historical terms? In 10 years Froch might be universally looked at as the guy who shied away from fighting one of this generations strongest fighters.

 

didn't even have Lomachenko in the top 10.

 

What by agreeing to fight Froch at Froch's weight of 168?

Even Hearn said both sides has agreed, Golovkin had and it was up to Froch but apparently a fight against Golovkin doesn't get him pumped yet a fight with Chavez did? ...

 

Froch was overly generous. Golovkin actually doesn't break top 10.

 

Froch just doesn't like Golovkin lol ...

GGG @ #8 wouldn't have been too bad if Fury wasn't higher than him ... Fury's main advantage is his enormous size, I don't get how he can be high on a p4p list.

 

Fury beat Klitscho, the reigning SHW champion. Who has Golovkin beat? :huh

 

Exactly. If Fury was a natural MW at 160 how on earth would he win against GGG? He'd get slaughtered.

 

About right... It's a fake ass ranking anyway.

 

Loeffer said that only after Froch had retired and suddenly started mentioning 172.

The initial fight was sll ready to go but Froch retired...don't try to rewrite history.

End of the day it was too big, too strong then retired.

 

He's obviously a bit biased towards the Brits but he actually had Fury at #4 and Boxrec also have Brook at #10.

 

I suggest you take heed of your own advice.

 

Talks never got past the preliminary stage, a little less revisionism required on your part too.

 

June 2015 Hearn said they were in talks and everything was agreed upon Froch wanting to carry on fighting, which he did prior to Chavez being ko'd by Fonfara. Suddenly he lost all the fire and retired.

December 2015 Froch says he'd only come out of retirement for a big fight and a fight with Golovkin gets his juices flowing, but suddenly he can't make 168 after being out of the ring for 6 months and it'd have to be at 172.

Froch never wanted the fight hence the 172 suggestion second time around.

I'm not posting links as I'm not risking another ban, google it.

 

Cloth ears should be your new name.

The first proposal was at 168.

Then 6 months later Froch said 172.

Froch retired because he wasn't able to get his gimme fight against Chavez, instead he was stuck between Ward and Golovkin, one fighter would have embarrassed him again the other would have broken him down.

Again too big, too strong then retired, then talk about who he'd of beaten him easily.

Froch is a very insecure man.

 

You forgot 2x Groves!!!! Wembley!! :deal
