Four-time world boxing champion Carl Froch talks about his possible return inside the ring.

Froch, who already announced his retirement in July, per The Guardian, revealed that he envisioned an exciting bout worthy of his comeback. "The Cobra" told TalkSport that he is now willing to clash with the unbeaten middleweight king Gennady Golovkin, Boxing Scene noted.

However, Golovkin's camp, through his promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions, reportedly rejected his proposed showdown.

"I was talking to Tom Loeffler... I asked him what weight Golovkin would fight [me at] because right now I'm 180-pounds. So I asked if he would come up to 172 and he said 'no,' that he probably wouldn't come up to super middleweight. The only fight I'd come back for potentially is Golovkin," Froch said.

The boxer turned sports pundit reiterates that he is only eyeing a bout with "Triple G" as he sees it as a "really big fight." However, he hints that losing much weight is just not his cup of tea. He also indicates that there's a chance Golovkin has something else in mind like "dropping down to 155-pounds to fight Canelo Alvarez."

Aside from holding the World Boxing Association, International Boxing Federation and International Boxing Organization crowns, Golovkin is also the World Boxing Council mandatory challenger. The Kazakh knockout master is the rightful and immediate foe of Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, who captured the vacant title on Nov. 21 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, SB Nation informed.The 25-year-old Mexican boxer defeated the Puerto Rican warrior Miguel Cotto via a unanimous decision.

What could be Team Golovkin's reason to refuse the fight?

"GGG" has been very vocal in calling out the former super middleweight champion.

"Triple G's" coach Abel Sanchez tells On the Ropes Boxing Radio that his fighter is "willing to go anywhere to fight Carl Froch." 

Golovkin, who is not willing to face Andre Ward at 168 pounds, is said to be ready to clash with Froch at that weight.

Thus, it is just a surprise that he is not open in colliding with him anymore. Moreover, he is also not inclined to meeting him at 168 pounds too.

It seems that Golovkin's desire to unify the middleweight division is stronger than his previous objective of exchanging jabs with the British boxer.

Although, a reader of Boxing Scene thinks that Golovkin may just aim to seal the battle with "Canelo" and then proceed in fighting Froch.

Will the Froch-Golovkin showdown ever happen?
