    Froch for me.

    GGG is an animal but how do we know if he would carry the extra 8 pounds well up at 168? Would his power be as effective? Arthur Abraham at 160 to 168 being a prime example.

    GGG is a small MW as it is, Froch is a naturally much bigger man. GGG cuts the ring off well, but he isn't walking Froch down... he wouldn't have to either.

    Froch is the bigger man, can fight, showed he can box when necessary, is durable, iron chin, longer reach, has the desire, can bang and finishes strong down the stretch. All the tools required to beat GGG.

    Spot on post ,Size and skills matter,Golovkin hardly moves his head on the way in,maybe thats over confidence that he can out blast any one or the East european mindset/style,Ward too would cause him problems on movement speed and size,Froch by UD or SD

    Golovkin would knock Froch, he would outbox Froch, Froch had his chance to fight Golovkin, but chickened out...............so, if Froch wants that fight he can get it..............anytime he wants. I would put my money on Golovkin by knockout!!!

    Froch to edge it in a FOTC contender.

    GGG is by far the better boxer of the two. GGG would win by UD or late TKO

    I think Froch only comes out for Calzaghe or Ward.. both plausible fights in the future..

    Froch and Calzaghe are the same age now.. 5 or 6 years either side is the same age gap.. if both fighters are under or over the age of 35..


    Otherwise one guy is considered old of the 2..


    Guys like Floyd or Hopkins is always gonna be old now..

    Froch comes out of retirement to take a fight he came nowhere near to winning at his peak? Come on lad!
