    Froch going to decide in the first week of June whether he will fight on or retire. If he doesn't retire it will be GGG 95% likely.

    10 days ago I would've said Froch would retire but I'm started to get the impression he really wants this fight.

    We are yet to see Golovkin in top gear and Froch is certainly capable bringing out the best of GGG.

    I think Froch may start with a gameplan similar to the one vs Abraham keeping it long, working the jab, going to the body but eventually GGG will get on the inside and Froch wont back down from a war. Froch's iron chin capable of absorbing bombs is the major factor why I edge towards a Froch UD.

    But Froch leaky defense may be open to some GGG hooks to the body.

    Froch wins late. Can't believe all the GGG love here. Who's he beaten? Give me one ****in name. Froch has beaten a lot of decent fighters. I know he's old but he's proud. No way will he want to get embaressed by GGG. Froch wins in a war

    Golovkin by late TKO. Froch isn't a giant compared to Golovkin. He's 8 lbs and a couple of inches taller. He has little to no defense and is not the smarter fighter AT ALL. I think Froch puts up the best fight of any Golovkin opponent in a back and forth exciting fight but gets dropped several times.

    I think Froch is going to bring it. No one has really tested Golovkin or brought the fight to him, I think Froch will be looking to be the first to try. Can't wait.

    I think both guys have vastly underrated boxing skills.

    Still haven't seen the evidence to support the widely held belief that GGG has more ring craft than sugar Ray Leonard and more power than Iron Mike. Just can't see past the 5, that's FIVE inch reach advantage for Froch.

    All good points.

    If Froch doesn't get rocked too bad or dropped early, he would be the favorite to win.
    Will also be interesting to see how GGG's chin stands up to a real elite super middleweight puncher.

    I think Froch does get dropped within first four rounds but comes on in spots all the way through and loses close decision.

    GGG UD Froch in a memorable super middleweight brawl.

    I agree that anyone thinking it will be one sided either way is in for a shock.
