    All roads from 160 to 175 lead to Carl Froch.

    GGG, would be stupid to do this. Froch, is not fighting at a catchweight, and GGG is not big enough to last at that weight, He, Golovkin would be better off fighting a jr middle, like Canelo, Trout.

    Let's hope it gets made then - still, I'd rather see GGG vs Murray, Maravila and Froch first. I'm far from sure he beats Froch, but if he could, Ward would seem more of a possibility wouldn't it?

    I just want to see the best fights possible made. Golovkin's one of the most exciting fighters out there for my money, and I want to see just how good he really is.:bbb

    Derrick Findley's fought with both (at least he's sparred with GGG) and he seems sure of it. Unless you got a source that says otherwise?

    He is too small for those guys. He is highly skilled, but it would be like Sergio at middleweight, except he is not that skilled. The size of those guys would ware on him, and shorten his career. This is why HBO, sucks. Froch can fight whoever he wants, and Ward should finally man up and fight somebody like Adonis in Canada. Only HBO benefits from dragging a small middleweight up in weight.

    Dude get real. Youre full of ****. Case in point, read back this thread. All his ball gobbling fans saying they cant wait for GGG to destroy froch and ward. Dude hadsnt fought anyone in his whole career yet hes going to destroy two of the best fighters in the world. Its the biggest hype train ive seen in a long time. And when he gets beat those people same people will say they knew he was just over hyped. Smfh.

    So GG is a small MW:nut

    GG's handlers said he'd fight ANYBODY from 154 to 168:deal
    That's what THEY/HE said not HBO.

    Dude so did Paul Williams people don't make him a big MW either. I don't think GGG is a big MW.

    Reminds me of when me and David Fanning were telling everyone Ward would beat Kessler and Abraham prior to the start of the Super 6.

    I hardly think someone with his decorated amateur background and successfully run to date in the pros can be simply dismissed as a "hype train".

    Froch is a dead man walking in front of GGG. Zero chances. Only a britard could believe Groch got any chance.

    No, they, HBO, are trying push him into a fight with a smw. If you have ever seen them interview him, they do not ask him about Sergio or other middleweights, multiple times HBO has asked him about Ward, and now trying to push Froch on him. Golovkin, has said that fighting that high would hard, but he could do it. He has said 154, would be no problem. There are many good middleweights for him to fight, and thats is where he should stay. This is not Andre Ward, we are talking about here. First off right now GGG, is very overrated and second no matter who he fights would be a good fight b/c of his very offensive style.
