    GGG can only fight those willing to get in ring with him. I'm certain he'd love to fight any 160 pounder anywhere any time. Where is Prima Donna Cotto? Why wont he defend against GGG?? Because Freddie knows if he let Cotto in with GGG Cotto would get annihilated. Freddie is too good a trainer to put guys in knowing they have no chance

    Both Froch and Jack have better resumes.

    Wow the hate is exceptionally strong with this one.

    Obviously Froch's resume is better. Doesn't mean he'd win.

    Wins over Medina, Sierra and Dirrell, a draw to Periban and a loss to Derek Edwards is better than absolute domination of Murray, Macklin, Geale, Rubio?

    If your answer is a genuine yes then I'm excited to put you on my ignore list and never have to hear this type of nonsense again.

    You're right, it doesn't mean he'd win. It means Froch has a better resume. So, until the Triple Duck beats someone on the level of Froch's oppostition - @ 168lbs - I have no reason to not think Froch beats Golovkin.


    Dirrell is better than ANYONE on Golovkin's resume.

    why 168 ?? GGG is a 160 pound fighter plus Jack has a KO 1 loss on his resume. Froch would be a fool to fight GGG in my opinion

    I guess you can think that. Geale was rated higher at MW than Dirrell was at SMW by ESPN, Ring and TBRB when they met Golovkin and Jack respectively. And I, like many, felt Murray deserved the decision vs Martinez in Argentina and should have been crowned lineal champ.

    But anyway, why the double standard? Who has Dirrell beaten for you to rate him so highly? Anthony Hanshaw and a Draw and win over the always limited Sakio Bika? Geale and Murray are better wins than Hanshaw or Bika.

    Because if a Froch Golovkin fight were to take place, it would happen @ 168lbs. @ 168, Froch is poven, Golovkin is not.


    I understand that, however, the fact remains. Dirrell is better than *anyone* on Golovkin's resume. Plus, as I said above, the Triple Duck is unproven @ 168.


    Based on what excatly? All of the top 168lb'ers Golovkin has KO'ed?

    Canelo has beaten a higher quality of opposition than has the Triple Duck and I wouldn't be surprised to see him take a UD over Golovkin. The same goes for Erislandy Lara - who the Triple Duck doesn't seem keen on getting in the ring with...

    Alrighty man. So you will always blindly favor any fighter who is proven at a higher weight class against someone who objectively looks much, much better at a lower weight class? Guess you picked Canelo, Corley, and JLC over Floyd :huh

    GGG kills Canelo and cuts off the ring the way Canelo could not against Lara.

    You never answered my question about what Dirrell had done to be so highly regarded if everything is based of resume? You're a big Bika and Hanshaw fan then I take it?

    The difference in quality and depth between 160 and 168 is like night and day. 160 is arguably the weakest division is boxing. 160 is so bad that the lineal champ in the division is a *welterweight*.

    Let me repeat; 160 is so bad that the lineal champ in the division is a *welterweight*.

    And Dirrell @ 168lbs is a better win than Geale and Murray @ 160. Hence, Jack has the better resume...

    So now you're trying to compare the Triple Duck to Floyd Mayweather?

    LOL...

    Maybe I need to add you to my ignore list because obviously you are not to be taken seriously...

    Doesn't sound like you answered my question about why you rated Dirrell so highly. Sounds like you completely 100% dodged it actually. If it's all based off resume, why do your rate Anthony so highly? You think Bika and Hanshaw are good wins?
