Froch - Golovkin mid 2014?

This could be all academic as outside of Martinez as Chavez cant make it anymore there is really no high profile fights at 160 for GGG. Martinez is a world away and regardless of what that camp tweets or whatever, Martinez will be looking at cash after his tuneup. GGG might as well go for it as 168 is getting warn out and battle scared outside of Ward.

man..open ur eyes ..or take ur head out ur ass, one or the other..so u can see... Golovkin is really small...

But his power is not. He'll do just fine at 168. Tyson was small for a heavyweight. Didn't mean shit

i think there's good opposition at below 160..i'm a Canelo fan and GGG worries me... Martinez, Chavez... i think Trout will move up... and if May beats Canelo, i don't think he will, but if he does... Bika just won a title... the guy Bika fought, some mexican guy that was pretty good... maybe i'm wrong... maybe i need to open my eyes... but i see Golovkin very small in size... vs Froch, who's a big dude..or Ward... Kesslar... all solid light heavyweights..or super middleweights...whatever their calling it these days

i wonder how much GGG gains after the weigh in...

You have to love Abel Sanchez's description of Golovkin in the gym, "We've been working on the body shots because you know when he hits someone in the head, it's serious injury, and with the body we put body armor on the sparring partners."

Showtime are basically the GBP channel. Golovkin and Froch are therefore basically HBO fighters by default as HBO need attractive fights to show and Golovkin and Froch want US TV money.

Froch is probably going to fight Groves next and around the same time Kessler will probably fight somebody he can look good against to get a win. I think they'll fight each other after that. Golovkin might fight somebody at 168 next to see how he is at the weight but you can definitely see HBO wanting to match him and Froch at some point. It's definitely got FOTY potential.

Absolutely. It's got FOTY written all over it.
