Not convinced GGG beats Froch or Ward

[mrbig1]

Seriously think Froch should consider this fight. Monroe did well enough but imagine a 168 fighter who has stamina and can take a punch and dish it back on? Think it has everything to make it such a good fight though. Well done GGG, he looked good again against somebody I've never heard of, to give Monroe credit he wasn't bad.

Agree 100%. I don't think GGG has really been tested against a top notice fighter. Froch or Ward may be too much for him over 12 fast pace rounds.

Ward's style would trouble him a great deal. But I think he smashes Froch. Froch is 37. Soon to be 38. He is not only on the decline but he already has his eye on retirement. Not the mentality a fighter should have going into a Golvtkin fight

Cotto and Alvarez are going to do their level best to avoid Golovkin. Ward isn't a big money fight in the States for Golovkin. If Golovkin wants a big payday anytime soon then he has to come to England and do Sky PPV.

How is "big money fight" a concern for a guy who hasn't done a PPV? All he should care about is will HBO pay for it. Don't do the ducking for GGG, he's a great fighter he can handle himself.

As predicted. The f%^&**ing WBC strikes again.

WBC President to allow Canelo-Cotto fight if they sign contract to defend against Golovkin

GGG is not a small middleweight. That talk needs to stop. He is a true bona fide middleweight. He isn't a natural super middleweight either for that matter though.

Froch or Ward beat GGG at 168. It might be closer if they met at a catch weight, but I still favor Froch and Ward.

In my opinion, THE fight for GGG is Froch. Froch is a future HOF caliber fighter and he has a following to win over. It's an opportunity for GGG to test the waters at 168 against the second best fighter in the division. If he wins in fun fashion, he'll have grown his brand in the UK. It's a more winnable fight than Ward and so the risk is worth it. If he loses or has difficulty, he chalks it up to size and moves back down. There's no shame in losing to Froch either at a weight class above his best.

I don't understand why he hasn't called Froch out more.

There's confidence, then there's stupidity....super middle is not the move for GGG at this point. Canelo and Cotto first.

@Ron Swanson, yes Floyd is a smallish Welter but if you want a laugh, read back on this forum a decade ago and you will see that good proportion of posters here though that Ricky Hatton was naturally bigger than Floyd - just because he was bigger than him out of the ring (harharhar).

Also, Pacquiao has an abnormal bone structure that allows him to carry more muscle, more effectively than most other guys his size.

Also Also. When Golovkin fought Rubio, he was 165 one whole month before he was due to fight.

Those are the facts.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that GGG came in to the ring smaller than Murray. Which means he's smaller than Murray. Which means he would be a small super middleweight. A slowish smallish super middleweight.

Nothing like Pacquiao or Mayweather at all Ron, as their success at higher weights was part built on speed and athleticism.

I love watching GGG fight but I just think that 160 is his home. Like I said though. It's just a hunch.

He's called out Cotto, Canelo, Mayweather, and previously Junior.
