Notice that Bute's pre-froch resume was better than Golovkin's. Bute actually fought against better opposition while winning by KO/TKO just like GGG. GGG is not a rarity. We saw and heard it all exactly the same way in Bute.
it wasn't at all in "exactly the same way" golovkin is doing the business in the US and with US backing (eventually, but it shows intent), bute ran his career just like sturm did bute was a paper boy who gained exposure and $$$ in Canada to the point that he thought he actually was a worthy world champion, but sturm knew he never was golovkin, on the other hand, is the champion elect of the MW division cotto isn't known as a fighter who shies away from a challenge, and if I were in team golovkin/HBO, i'd be throwing some nice, shiny coins his way right about now wouldn't hurt if golovkin talked it up either!
This poll is a great example of why this fight needs to happen it's dead even. A true test for both men.:deal
I like both fighters and would love to see this fight be made. Froch will stop GGG IMO or will hurt GGG and win via a UD. GGG is a middleweight... he will not cut it at super with the big boys like Froch. There is no way on this planet that GGG could fight the same way he always does against Froch. I'm shocked to see that some of you think he could and would..... Although GGG could suprise me and use his amateur pedigree and out box carl... BUT NO WAY!! can he stop Froch... just no... it would be a different fight to what everyone is expecting, alot more cagey with explosive moments.
The only fighters Froch consistently loses to are superior boxers; Kessler, Dirrell, Ward. Against someone like Bute/Golovkin, Froch will shine and win by KO because Froch can handle their punches but they can't take his.:yep
:deal When Bute was knocking out nobodies his hype train was racing across the boxing landscape @ 300 mph. Then Bute meets Froch and the train derails, crashes then burns. Same will happen to Triple Duck IF he ever gets in the ring with Ward...
Bute wins over Bika was more convincing than Ward-Bika or Bika-Ant.Dirrell. Triangle theories doesnt work in boxing. What makes Froch is his chin and his power. Ward doesn't have power, and Bute - Ward outcome might not have been the Froch - Bute outcome. Ward himself thought so since he ducked Bute in a shamefull manner.
Triple Duck is as slow as Froch is and doesn't know anything about defense or how to throw a straight punch. Geale had him figured out midway through the first round and landed some CLEAN right hands. Triple Duck would have got a boxing lesson had Geale's chin not got in the way. Put Triple Duck in the ring with Ward and I guarantee you that the Triple Duck express gets derailed...
