Could GGG have knocked out Froch at super middle in a fantasy fight?

    I believe a super middle with a solid chin could take GGG`s best shots, do you agree? Does GGG hit harder than Groves?

    Hard to tell. One thing is for sure, if he showed GGG the same lack of respect he showed Groves he'd get put to sleep.

    I don't really know. But I do know that no other fighter has won me over so decisvely from being a rapid hater to a passionate fan as has Froch. I still find his personality cringey and annoying, but in a weirdly endearing way. And theres the fact that 90% of his fights were fight of the year contenders. In that respect he was like the Arturo Gatti of his era, except without blowout losses sprinkled in his record.

    I think GGG by decision would be a safer bet than a kayo.

    Golovkin by decision is much more likely. He's always careful with the bangers. But if the question is "could" he do it, the answer is "yes".

    He could, but I doubt he would.
    The tougher Golovkins fights have gotten the less fighters he's stopped.
    In fact I'm not certain he'd beat Froch anyway.

    Froch was a tough fighter with a very good chin and slippery in an awkward fashion He also had the power to keep GGG honest. I don't see a KO here.

    Do you think Froch would be too big?

    Could GGG have knocked out Froch at super middle? I very much doubt it.

    I think Froch had far more flaws in his game than elite fighters like GGG and Canelo and he was outclassed by Ward.

    No he wasn't, but he would beat him.
