    When did Golovkin become a defensive master lol. Golovkin would be eating punches all night as would Froch to be fair, both guys have iron chins, we know this because both of them get hit so much.

    Degale - habit of laying on the ropes after the first few rounds, he'd take a pounding but his chin was good. GGG wide decision.
    Groves and Jack - good chance they get knocked out. GGG KO.
    Froch - absolute war where I'd give the edge to GGG for his superior footwork. GGG narrow decision.
    Ward - even though I can't stand the guy he'd outbox GGG, especially on the inside. Ward 8-4 type decision.

    i wouldnt say he absolutely dominated him except for the first four rounds of the first fight, sure he outboxed him for long stretches but froch remained game and dangerous and never stopped landing punches until the knockouts in both fights. Also, groves was a natural super middle while there is no reference for ggg outside middleweight, so its not a guarantee his punch resistance would stay the same with the jump in weight.

    Now this has to be the troll post of the century ROFLMAO
    Ward is just about the dirtiest fighter Ive ever come across. There isnt a foul he's not well versed in..
    Headbutts ..........like a billy goat
    Low blows ......... Testical buster extrordinaiire
    Holding ............ Like a limpet
    There isnt a foul move he isnt adept at.
    Should be indicted into the Hall of Shame !!!!!

    Other than Kessler and Kovalev, what other fights did he intentionally foul in. By the way, I'm not excepting he fouled Kessler or Kov intentionally. Just following the narrative of his haters.

    Like I said, he was rough, but other than the Kessler and Kovakev fight, I can't recall people considering him a dirty fighter. That's why I asked what other fights he was excessively dirty.

    We will never know as all these fights were available to him and he didn’t wanna take it.. If Danny Jacobs size was a problem for him then he’ll have a long night against all and I can only see him beating Groves by KO..

    He must be a GGG hater, he's showing clear signs. To each their own.

    Please, Froch is big, strong, well tested, and proven, but Golovkin is a smart fighter with a granite chin. He fights more defensively responsible vs top dangerous fighters.

    Froch also lacked defence and was slow.
    Plus he wasn't a big dude at all. He had an easy time making 168.

    Styles make fights.

    Ggg won't beat nobody, Why?? He has never had the courage to move up in weight and probably never will!!!
