I'll tell you one thing, Froch at 168 would have marked GGG

    And I had him winning the Canelo fight

    But if a small middleweight with a good chin can take everything you are doling out and almost have you in a toe to toe battle you ain't beating a big super middle with a great chin who loves nothing more than a blood and guts war.

    A prime Golovkin would break any version of Froch apart, I'd put money on it.

    Froch would've stopped GGG within 4 rounds in front of 80,000 people at Wembley.

    Something else I was right about.:sisi1 I caught a ton of **** from GGG fanboys non stop for saying that Froch and Ward would have beaten GGG, I argued that point vociferously, and they all thought I was crazy.:D

    Ward beats him, but Froch could very well lose a decision if GGG uses Mexican Style 2.0 against him.

    Ward yes, but I still think he'd have beaten Froch

    Come on man.

    I like Alvarez but Froch would **** him up and take him out with little issue, and he's actually the one with the better style to fight froch of the two.

    Those in the business know it would've been a very tough fight for Froch. Froch himself:

    Carl Froch, the current IBF middleweight world champion said that his plan was to “Just swerve Golovkin like the plague. He punches like a mule. I don’t need to be in with him. Dangerous fight.”

    Not a prayer, Froch was tailor made for Golovkin. Canelo would wipe the floor with Froch as well.

    Golovkin would have outboxed Froch. Worst case scenario GGG gets robbed but I doubt it.

    Canelo was a smaller target, more compact, great defensive skills and a great counter puncher.

    He was the exact opposite of Froch.

    Eubank Jr used to give Froch complete hell in sparring, for what it's worth. Now put Golovkin in there and Froch would get tagged far more.

    Furthermore, Jermain Taylor dropped Froch in their fight also. No way GGG doesn't get at least one clean shot in there.

    Styles make fights and GGG's is wrong for Froch. Too much of a close quarters brawl and I don't think Froch is that type of slugger.

    Nope.

    Martin Murray went 11 with prime golovkin

    Murray is a 3 round job for the likes of Kessler and Froch

    The jump from true middleweight to true super middleweight is too much. Alvarez is a midget, he's 5'8" and didn't look very much smaller than GGG.

    Froch and Kessler are big 6'1" men

    There's a reason golovkin never ventured into 168 because it's not like there was a lack of good fights for him there, it's because he is even smaller than Arthur Abraham who looked like a midget at 168 and got dominated by every world class 168lbr he faced.
