GGG v Carl Froch

I think GGG should stay at middleweight.
Being "too good" for the division is a nice position to be in.
Marvin Hagler and Carlos Monzon spring to mind.

 

Carl nearly got knocked out by Groves in the first fight.


Golovkin is a much better boxer than Groves and hits harder.



Carl Froch is just good at what he does and likes to get hit a lot on his iron chin which is decreasing in strength as time has gone on. In Groves 2 at times he shrugged back and looked hurt. He looked like he got much older overnight until the final knockout blow.


Carl is not stereotypically a good boxer but does very well with the tools he has.

I don't see him beating Golovkin because Golovkin looks like he has a good chin and is much more relentless than Groves is.


Froch is more likely to get koed because he's hit the canvas and was very hurt.


All elite level fighters beat Froch around his weight. Kovalev would destroy Froch.


And Froch is scared of Golovkin. He's even scared of Bernard Hopkins. So i doubt very much he fights either of them later this year. It will be a fairwell kind of fight against Chavez Jr.

 

GGG is a natural MW, he came in even lighter then Murray.
I don´t think he´ll suddenly add 4-5 pounds to fight at SMW.

 

Roberto Duran went upto super middleweight all the way from lightweight to fight Sugar Ray Leonard after he beat Iran Barkley for the middleweight title.


Golovkin going upto super mid isn't such a big stretch as people make it out to be. He's an elite fighter so i don't think he would have much of a problem.


It's been done time and time again. The elite fighters move up to test themselves when the competition is not there anymore in their usual weightclass.

 

Spot on, how i see it after last night to be honest. Even at MW Murray aint a puncher, very good defensively, took GGG into second half of fight as i expected, but had no chance of really winning as he has not got the big punch in his locker. I just hope that Murray is the same fighter again after what he took.

 

I'd love to see that fight. Andre Ward has been asking for it, but I'd rather see him take on Froch

 

Froch would beat Golovkin at Super Middleweight. 3 inch height advantage, 5 inch reach advantage, probable 7 or 8 lb weight advantage on the night, size, strength and iron chin as well as buckets of top level experience- everything you need to beat Golovkin. Froch struggles against speed and slickness, Golovkin would be straight in front of him all night. I don't think it would he easy by any stretch of the imagination, and Froch couldn't, and wouldn't, treat the fight like Groves 1.

It is the No.1 fight I want to see however, ahead of Mayweather Pacqiou (5 years late doesn't cut it for me).

 

GGG destroys Froch

 

You are talking absolute nonsense. Seriously, that is the biggest load of rubbish iv ever read onthis forum. Now im not exactly a Carl Froch fan but i respect him as in his career he has never 'ran from a fight' i don't think there is another fighter in the world who has fought as many elite guys as Carl Froch and hes never been chinny withany of them. He got outclassed by Andre Ward but never hurt.

 

This guy is a total chump, he thinks Golovkin stops Froch or Ward.

I will add, that ridiculously small ring they had last night would seriously backfire if Golovkin fought Froch.

 

Was about the ask if you ever get bored but suppose it's a silly question.

Wonder how Groves would do against Golovkin? Would that fight even be sanctioned?

 

After reading a few of Jim Jeffries posts i think he's going on ignore!!!

 

Froch seems to have his mind set of Chavez JR fight and then retirement, I think the odds off this fight happening are unlikely.
