I don't mean to knock Froch, I was a big fan. But I do think GGG would paste him now. Surely it won't happen.

[fidget]

You think?

Dunno about this version of Froch but i'm fairly sure a Froch from around the Super Six / Bute period stops GGG at 168.

In his prime a fight between Froch and GGG would have been very interesting. It would just be a payday now though and as far as I know Froch doesn't need the money.

I reckon the only thing that might seriously tempt Froch is a big Vegas bout? That's what he was chasing before deciding to call it a day...

Nah it's true. Froch at 168 would have been too big, too strong for GGG.

Great fight a few years back but as Shaggy said it's not going to happen.

he might not 'need the money' think he got 8m for his last groves fight.....but then he might find it hard to turn down another 10million fight if it was offered,

Is the fight tomorrow gonna be a 5am job?

[spud_gun]

Yeah it's gonna be a 4 or 5 in the morning effort.

Just watching the build up interview. He hasn't half aged since before that first Froch fight.

Cheers.

Yeah got Groves on. I like him tbh. Quite a smart bloke, I like listening to him. Still remember him being DeGale....was a great fight and a great win. Hope he gets another shot.

Can't stand him. Talented boxer, but a cocky arsehole out of the ring and hasn't really done anything yet to justify that level of arrogance other than beating DeGale.

Should win this comfortably though.

[calvoboy]

Groves is by far the better boxer here, until his arse hits the ropes and then he looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Weird. Still fancy Groves to stop him in the next two rounds though.

[calvoboy]

Pretty beat-up now...think the corner will throw in the towel after this round

[calvoboy]

Fair play, that was an incredibly brave but futile performance from Gutknecht. Good from Groves, though he really should have stopped him when he was on top.

Groves/DeGale II will be good to see when it eventually, inevitably, happens. Think it'll be a while yet though.

Yeah no one seems to like him but I do.

As for cocky, next to that cunt DeGale he's Tom Hanks.
