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.
I agree on styles making fights, and I think Froch is a horrible match up for GGG. Froch was very strong, very tough mentally and physically, had a great punch, and possessed underrated boxing skills. GGG would be significantly smaller, and while I think he would've lasted the distance and taken some rounds, I see him losing the decision in a similar fight to Froch's win over Arthur Abraham (not as lopsided though). In my opinion Froch was a great fighter, and it shows how great and versatile Ward is in the way that he beat him (Froch).
