    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.
    who has he called out?

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

    Froch may show some interest in GGG but Golovkin will not show in any interest in moving up and facing Froch.

    If the fight happens it would be epic!
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Apparently Golovkins promoter approached Hearn. I'd be surprised because he did t mention carl on Saturday. It seemed like he wanted the smaller guys first

    If I was triple Gs advisor I wouldn't recommend he goes for carl next. It's a big step up in weight and class. He needs to do 1 at a time not both in the same night.

    If it happens it would be Las Vegas, PPV and the winner would be in the big leagues!

    It's not good Froch has been so inactive though. GGG keeps very busy
