No. GGG could not have eaten the right that Froch ruined Groves with.

Not many people could have, it was the best punch of Froch's career.

I'm going to go against the flow here ...... but I think Golovkin could well have beaten Froch had they fought. Here's why .....

I like Froch the fighter, he was teak tough, great chin, good stamina and a real fighters heart.

However, I always thought he could be outboxed. Ward proved this, and other fighters had great success against him for periods of their fights. Groves was doing a number on Carl in both fights until he gassed out and got caught. Carl's best fights and wins were when he turned their bouts into wars.

Now, and people forget this, Golovkin is actually an excellent technical boxer. He showed that against Lemieux and you don't have the amateur career that GGG had without being a top drawer skilled boxer.

If we assume GGG moved up to SM for this imaginary fight, I think he would be more cautious than h is at middleweight. He has shown a good chin so far and can walk through middleweights, but I think he would be more circumspect against someone like Froch.

Equally, GGG certainly has the power to keep Froch honest and dissuade him from charging recklessly forward.

If both guys respect the others power, it becomes more of a chess match. I think Golovkin has the superior boxing skills, a good enough chin and heavy enough hands that he wins a points decision by surprising everyone and turning into a boxer instead of a knockout machine..
