    Canelo didn’t bin the belt then ? Or did that not happen now

    What's your point if he already gave the beggar two free paydays and beat him?.

    Golovkin outboxes him jabs his nut off and wins on points.

    Neither is getting KO'd (unless it was a bodyshot) - anyone thinking that Froch would get KO'd from GGG obviously didn't watch his wars with Pascal and Kessler! Teak tough!!

    I think one could look at Froch's wars with Kessler to see how he might go against GGG.

    I think you could put those 3 into a round robin tourney and it would be absolute carnage, classic wars, and think each would win a decision against the other .

    Very hard call, as Froch had an underrated jab when he fought responsibly (Abraham) - but GGG cuts off the ring so well, it would be inevitable that it would end up a war, where both fighters would give and take bombs.

    Would love to have seen it :D

    My point is proven. You said a light middle that moved up an won the belt then binned it because he didn’t want to face GGG just yet. Straightforward bud !

    Every Canelo win makes Golovkins wins over Canelo look that much better.

    Whoever can establish the jab wins. Since GGG never fought or out jabbed someone bigger and with a much larger reach advantage I'm going with Froch.

    Golovkin will have to walk through leather to beat Froch. He's wide open to Frochs corkscrew uppercut so hes not going to do that.

    Speed and angles troubled Froch. Gennady was too slow.

    And don’t forget GGG had noticeably slipped, he got slow overnight, and still was top dog of the division. Blatantly a h2h atg

    GGG was not slow when he was prime, but yes he slowed up a lot

    Considering he’s never been stopped, knocked down or visibly hurt, common sense should prevail and you’d be very surprised I’d think. Canelo carefully selected ?!?!? :risas3:
    You couldn’t argue this case with people in the flesh, you’d just be ignored, laughed at then ignored.... Canelo does the selecting bud, he’s the cash cow in boxing, but you carry on lol

    I think it’s close, I haven’t seen anything from GGG at 168 because he hasn’t fought there, to think he can bully a big strong super middleweight like Froch.

    Froch is a funny one he either gets overrated or underrated, so I suppose it depends which GGG if he stands there planting his feet against Froch it’s a long night for him win or loose.

    GGG is pretty exceptional, and Frochs is pretty decent as well so I see this going to decision, GGG probably sneaks this on points.

    I voted incorrectly....make it GGG by body punch stoppage. Even in front of 80,000 drunken Brits in Wembly.

    Froch knew the score with a prime GGG ‘ who needs him, he punches like a mule’.... Don’t fall for Froch s crap about wanting it when he wasn’t gonna fight again. Just his ego. GGG ud’s Him minimum, I can see Carl getting dropped also

    Froch couldn't cope with Ward muscling him around the ring, he couldn't take Groves dropping him in the 1st fight. His undoing is his fragile but massive EGO...he wouldn't take the chance in facing an in prime GGG no way...not scared psychically but mentally he coudln't cope with being stopped ...
