    Froch needs to let go of Golovkin, he indeed does sound like a loser with these kind of statements. He had a chance to fight him and declined.
    Never seen Golovkin act like this.

    He would be dwarfed at 175. GGG is a true, natural middleweight if ever I've seen one. His style would not translate well to moving up. Besides, Ward isn't where the money is.

    GGG begged for the fight since 2012. The only step towards GGG Ward made was commentating his fights on HBO loooooooooool!

    As much as I'm of the mind that GGG is somewhat hyped beyond his achievements in the ring, asking him to move up to a weight division too far and sitting back waiting for him to lose because of physical disadvantages too great for his talent to overcome is as unfair as his fans are unrealistic about his place (as it stands today) in boxing history. GGG couldn't live with the top LHWs outside the protective shell of sparring. 168 is his upper limit and I do want to see him dip his toe there.

    Froch needs to keep his (perfectly restructured) beak out of this, apart from the fact he was probably merely giving an answer to a question....

    "Just swerve Golovkin like the plague, hits like a mule, don't need to be in with him. Dangerous fight."

    Probably because it helps Foch keep himself relevant by getting media coverage for making outrageous statements.

    Golovkin has himself an obsessed stalker.

    Is Froch dreaming of GGG at night? He can't stop talking about him.

    GGG should listen to Froch and maybe one day he too will fight in front of 80,000 people.

    He ain't going to 175 for Ward because he could have had him at 168. Having said that, I don't think that he should go to 175 anyways but 168 should definitely be explored.

    If Golovkin starts chopping wood then he can go all the way to heavyweight and become a true international superstar beating up fellow ATG's in front of 80,001 people.

    Because he's a commentator and is regularly masked about it, that's why.
