    The thing that annoys me most is the fact that a lot of these people seem absolutely incensed by the mere idea that I think Froch, one of the best fighters from the last 15 years, who's competition trounces GGG's average to okay comp may be able to take GGG's shots and, Good God maybe even beat him. I must be crazy.:nut

    Ward and Froch are next level, and levels exist in boxing in boxing even though most don't seem to understand or acknowledge that.

    I like GGG he is willing to fight everybody but he can't help that the top of MW consists of guys like MM( couldn't get by Sturm or Sergio) Lemiuex( ktfo Rubio and beat by Alcline) Andy Lee ( beat by Chaves)
    Quillin ( ducked Korobov) and it's sadder these fighters would sit at the top of GGGs resume like MM does now.

    They all hail GGGs amatuer background as proof he is an amazing boxer but call Groves **** who has a win over an Olympic Gold Medalist..

    The big difference between Froch and GGG I see having read from those types of posters is that Froch comes in on fight night between 170-172 and fights guys at SMW who come in over 175 which is LHW ( he's taking punches from guys who come in over the LHW weight limit)
    Then there's GGG who come in on fight night 172ish fighting guys who come in around 160-168. GGG is fighting around the same weight as Froch AT A DIVISION BELOW GTFO of course those little men aren't hurting him with their shots and he is so heavy handed. GGG isn't a small MW he's a SMW picking on MWs..... I have been wrong this whole time thanks GGG nut huggers!

    All we need to have progression in the MW/SMW divisions is to Cotto to fight/vacate GGG ASAP , once that happens i think GGG will be under pressure to get challanged by facing SMW , until that happens GGG team will not move (maybe for Chavez only).
    so lets all push for Cotto vacating ASAP to see some mega fights around the MW/SMW , Cotto not giving his title back is screwing everyone around him.

    Yea Cotto is screwing with GGGs career and possible bigger fights sooner also. If he manages to hold it for another year and a half and Froch retires before GGG can be lineal and the fight can happen. Im going to flip sh*t.

    I thought Golovkin was a small MW for a while but recently it has come to my attention he isn't. While small in stature he comes in around 172 same as Froch about. Guy has to be solid and yea I heard MM was mid 170s he didn't look as solid as GGG but obviously bigger frame. Froch is fighting bigger guys most of the time he's at a higher division so it's obvious. I just didn't know GGG came in so big. I have read so many articles about him being small so it would be easy for him to go JMW it kind if blind sided me. I read an article in relation to Daniel Geale where they were talking about GGG being 164 and comfortable. Point is both him and Froch fight around the same weight except GGG drains all the way down to 160 and while he will fight some fighters who are big see MM the guys he is fighting will mostly be smaller or not as strong as the guys coming down to 168. Wards a strong fighter who should be a LHW and have seen articles where he sits around 180 on fight night. That's huge!!!
