    Big nose can't get the nice easy pay out in Vegas against Chavez he's been so desperately chasing and droning on about for eternity. Golovkin terrifies the life out of Saul Alvarez and in particular Miguel Cotto, so his hopes of a huge PPV fight at 160 will probably not be realised either.

    Golovkin takes on Martin Murray next week. No disrespect to Martin, but Golovkin will emerge unscathed from that one. Tom Loeffler has specifically called out Hearn and Froch in the past, and even said Golovkin would be willing to travel to make it happen.

    I believe HBO would be very interested, and it would be a definite PPV in the UK too, so Chesney from Corrie would be tempted money wise. For me this is the best fight that can be made for both guys, and as a big 'GGG' fan who can't stand Froch, a huge, dramatic win for Golovkin too.

    No Golovkin is not easy money so that fight won't happen.

    If it isn't Chavez it'll be Hopkins. Both rubbish matches.

    Call him big nose to his face! Love to see the results of your nose, the thing is you believe HBO would be interested, the fact is Hearn has said that HBO have said that it isn't yet. You don't know the facts, neither do I so don't try and talk about stuff as if it is a matter of fact, I like GGG a lot he's a very good fighter and seems to be a top boke but its people like you that will start some peoples dislike towards him.

    Okay, if Eddie Hearn says so it must be absolutely true. Golovkin just sold 16,000 tickets in Los Angeles against a guy with no marquee value whatsoever. And suggesting that Golovkin would beat Froch won't cause anybody to dislike 'GGG' apart from obsessive, cult-like, fanatical fans of Froch like yourself.

    I didn't say it just because you pick GGG to beat Froch, I don't have any problem with that whatsoever, the thing that will irritate people is the complete lack of respect you have for any fighter that GGG is mentioned alongside. You are the obsessive fan and that is fine, I like that, but you at the same time don't have to disrespect a fighter the way you have done. Tommy Coyle had an event in Hull that went for similar numbers to that in the UK, does that make him PPV?

    I can believe him not yet being PPV yet, one he hasn't appeared on PPV yet, but he hasn't fought any kind of American name or anyone who holds any value in America either. Not saying that is his fault but that is the fact. No Eddie doesn't know everything inside the game of course but for the reasons I have just mentioned I could imagine HBO not having him as a PPV attraction but I am sure that he will be soon.

    Froch only wants to fight old shot fighters so no, it's impossible that he will fight GGG. Why isn't froch the apparent "Great Warrior" trying to avenge his embarrassing one sided schooling he suffered against the American Ward?

    Something is amiss.

    Looks like Randall Weems at 0.40.

    Froch is done and wants to cash out against a high profile name. After the career he's had there aren't many who begrudge him that.

    I doubt the Ward rematch will happen - Ward's not exactly "Mr Active", is he?

    I'd like to see Froch v GGG, but I think it's come too late in Froch's career now.

    Froch is looking to bow out of his career... he's fought everyone and anyone, including in his opponents back yard so if he wants a big name in Vegas that's an easier fight than the likes of a GGG or Ward, then so be it.. if anyone's allowed to pick or choose a fight he's earned the right.

    As for how a Froch v GGG fight goes, who's to say GGG's power would have the same effect at 168? Especially against a man seemingly made of iron like Froch.

    calzaghe fans who still have the hump with froch over calling joe out a decade ago don't get to call any other fanbase obsessive.

    and when the chavez fight does happen you're gonna look even dafter.

    Froch wants to fight in Vegas or outdoors in his own hometown.
    GGG would fight Froch in Vegas, in front of Froch's house or on the sun:lol:
    Froch is not interested, so it's probably not going to happen.

    McKraken admitted he'd put up his feet a little bit lately. It's funny because Froch said he was at his peak shortly after Groves 2. Now he may just fade away if the right fights don't come up.
