    Froch is hammering Golovkin here!

    CARL FROCH says there is no way unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin could beat him in a fight – though insists he is still happily retired.

    The former super-middleweight king officially hung up his gloves last year having conclusively put his rivalry with George Groves to bed in Wembley Stadium in 2014, stopping the Londoner in eight rounds.

    Golovkin’s promoter, Tom Loeffler, recently met with Eddie Hearn – who represented Froch in the later stages of his career – and teased/joked that they were discussing a potental mega-fight between the two.

    “The Golovkin thing came up and I said ‘fight me at 172lbs and I’ll think about it’ and he wanted me to go down to 166, he wouldn’t even come up to super-middle and I was already retired by that point,” Froch said to Boxing News about previously failed negotiations for the fight.

    “Gennady Golovkin is a small middleweight, I’m a big super-middleweight. The fight was maybe talked about a year after I retired and it was never going to happen. Golovkin cannot win a fight against me, he’s not big enough. You can’t talk about Golovkin in the same breath as me.

    “If he thinks he can beat me, he’s not from planet Earth. He’s a very good fighter, but who has he beaten?”

    However he also pointed out: “I’m loving retirement.”

    That last line!

    I like Froch as a fighter but you can't be trash talking someone with no intention of backing it up.

    Yeah, a little attention-seeking to be honest. I guess even when the body is retired the boxer's mentality remains active for many fighters. He might be right about the size difference being decisive but talk is cheap behind a commentary mic. He needs to keep his (new) nose out...

    Froch is old and wasn't impressive in his last two fights despite winning, let it go.

    Froch obviously has some selective memory issues.

    Their initial fight was planned for 168, Froch had just beaten Groves and JCC had just lost...Froch wasn't retired at that point, even Hearn is on record agreeing that GGG agreed to everything in the contract.

    Remember, too big, too strong then retire..

    Plus the talk of 172 only appeared once Froch had retired and suddenly couldn't make the weight.

    Facts remain Froch ducked Golovkin and someone needs to pull these facts up to him when he talks bollocks.

    Froch was nearly put away inside a round by SGG, GGG would absolutely smash the Polish granny out of big nose.

    He would like to smash Froch but after running his mouth he dicktucked and retired. Another **** talker re fighting GGG - who would of thought?

    Lennox Lewis will occasionally say something that implies he believes he's still an active HW contender.

    People finally cooled off the Calzaghe comeback rumors and demands within the last couple years.

    ...who cares.

    Talking like this while being officiailly retired and having purchased a new face is paramount to threatening someone while in a wheelchair with AIDS and leprosy.

    Froch is just keeping it real stating he's retired and GGG hasn't really done ****. The fact GGG fans are acting like Froch who's fought everyone is ducking a guy who still really doesn't have a marquee name on his resume is hilarious. And I believe Froch that GGG wanted a CW. It's sounds just like the bull**** when the cowardly Team GGG was avoiding Ward. A CW was mentioned but we all know the make believe boogeyman GGG didn't want to get exposed. I do admit I'm don't like ggg because of his fans but if you guys are going to talk about ducks, call it on all fronts.
