Carl Froch answers fans’ questions on Gennady Golovkin, George Groves and more

WERE you nervous when you were asking Floyd Mayweather that now-infamous question in Las Vegas, regarding your rematch win over George Groves?

No, I wasnโ€™t nervous because it was all pre-scripted as a part of my dry sense of humour. I had already planned it. [Head of Sky Sports Boxing] Adam Smith told me I was going to get a chance to interview Floyd Mayweather and I thought, โ€˜Iโ€™m only going to get one question, what shall I ask him?โ€™ I told Eddie Hearn before I did it, โ€˜Listen to what Iโ€™m going to ask Floyd Mayweather.โ€™ When I asked him, he must have thought, โ€˜What the f*** have you asked me there?โ€™ He wasnโ€™t listening to me anyway, he knows who I am but heโ€™s not bothered, he was about to fight in the biggest fight in the history of world boxing, heโ€™s not interested in what I ask him, so I thought I might as well have a little tongue-in-cheek dig here. I enjoyed it and Iโ€™m still enjoying it. When I get my MBE off the Queen, I might ask her, does she know I knocked out George Groves in front of 80,000 fans at Wembley?
What are the chances of a fight with Gennady Golovkin happening?

Fifty-fifty. It would be more but Iโ€™ve heard recently that heโ€™s considering dropping down, and he also mentioned me potentially moving down to 164lbs, which just isnโ€™t an option.
