Think GGG could eat that right-hand that Froch sparked Groves with?
Re: Think GGG could eat that right-hand that Froch sparked Groves with?
Who knows, but more importantly I don't think he would have gotten hit like that.

Think Froch could eat that right-hand that GGG floored Curtis Stevens with? ;D

Yes.
I was a big Froch fan but GGG would eat him up and spit him out. Another level entirely.
Re: Think GGG could eat that right-hand that Froch sparked Groves with?
He would brush it off and continue to break Froch down. It would probably go 7 due to Froch's toughness, but finish prematurely as GGG couldn't miss.
Re: Think GGG could eat that right-hand that Froch sparked Groves with?
I kind of agree. You have to give Froch some benefit for being a bigger guy and prevailing in a bunch of other fights he seemed hard pressed to win, GGG is a really scary and cerebral operator though. Neither would have seen anything like the other for sure, though of course Froch fought some great guys.
Re: Think GGG could eat that right-hand that Froch sparked Groves with?
I hate to use this cliche but styles make fights. Froch in his prime was a difficult out. Really unorthodox in his approach with a killer right hand and a world class chin to back it up. There is no shame in losing to one of the best fighters of our time. He's also most likely a pretty good sized light heavyweight at fight time. Golovkin has a world class chin also but he's faced nobody who punches like Froch. I just don't see Golovkin walking Carl down and having his way or sticking his chin out and asking for one with a smile on his face.
Re: Think GGG could eat that right-hand that Froch sparked Groves with?
I don't have Ggg down as a great.
Hes good and he fights people who arent that good anymore as some of his win are against those past there best.
Re: Think GGG could eat that right-hand that Froch sparked Groves with?
I have no idea if he could or not because he just fights cans in the division with no talent. I mean a fight was discussed with Calzaghe and even his division was way better then the version GGG rules. I see all the killer stuff but the fact is GGG has beaten fuck all when it comes to great fighters.

But I don't think Froch had as much power as people think. Yes, that was a great shot that ko'd Groves , but look at his fights before Groves and they mostly went the distance.
Infact, when he stopped Bute, he threw about 30 unanswered punches and Bute still never went down!
I just think GGG would walk through his punches and keep walking Froch down.
I've never really considered Froch as having one punch knock out power, most of his stoppages seemed to come from an accumulation of punches from what I can remember.
The Groves KO was a decent punch though
Re: Think GGG could eat that right-hand that Froch sparked Groves with?
Pretty sure Froch would take GGG - 12 rounds maybe but he has possibly the best chin ever at SMW - people bring up his knockdowns but Froch genuinely got hit ALOT - it wasnt defence which got him wins over big punchers.
Also GGG isn't like some fighters i.e Kessler who coud catch froch with a huge 1-2 as he was coming in - GGG would be in there close to Froch either being backed up or backing up Froch - so I really can't see a knockout on GGGs - or Frochs part.
Froch close UD for me
