    Yes.

    I was a big Froch fan but GGG would eat him up and spit him out. Another level entirely.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    Froch v GGG would be an entertaining and action packed fight. I think the size of Froch would be the deciding factor in him winning.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    There are not many similarities between AA and GGG other than their size. AA was very overrated at the time, no footwork , no reflexes, no head or body movement, that's why he lost every single round to the bigger guys : Froch, Ward, Dirrell.
    I agree with the size factor but I don't think Froch was as skilled as GGG is and I don't say this because I think highly on Golovkin , it;s more because I believe Froch is pretty overrated as well. GGG never faced somebody as tough as Froch but at least he never struggled to beat lesser fighters and he controlled every fight, Froch on the other side was on par with an old Glenn Johnson, he got a gift against Dirrell who was beaten by GGG at amateurs, and was basically saved by the KO against JT.
    If an old Kessler was able to get a points decision win over Froch in their first fight than IMHO GGG could have done the same thing.
