    A 6'6" middleweight with solid bjj and improving Muay Thai should be at the top of the ladder but not Grove. I can't really place his problem. I know he has a problem avoiding the nightlife and clubs and it shows in his fights. No dedication. Sad...

    Wasted talent? The kid was an extremely feeble Tito Ortiz clone. He was rubbish. 6ft 6 chimney sweep with no chin and the physical strength of a 2 month old baby. Just another long line of average to lame TUF prospects.

    He never used his attributes the way he should have. He needed better reach knowledge.

    Are you trolling me? Maybe you need to stick to boxing.

    He stayed to close. As rangey as he was be should've been on the outside more. Should've used more push kicks, jab, etc.

    Maybe you should've trained Mosley not to look like a corpse in the Mayweather and Pacquiao fights.

    Any idiot can see Grove's main problem. He fought short.

    I say this all the time, but not everyone can be the best. Sometimes, good is all you're going to be. Sometimes, you're the guy that all the good and best fighters beat; but also get to beat up on the not so good.

    Kendall Grove's career is not over, but I think it's safe to say he'll never be an elite fighter.

    No, I keep seeing references to Reach Knowledge in different threads, and it reads with a mocking tone. It made me think that someone went of on a rant about it somewhere, and I missed it.

    Right and I wasn't saying he was going to be. I was just saying he could've been better than what he was. Atleast a quality gatekeeper.

    Yeah I can't find the original thread, but I believe it was greathamza in an Anderson Silva thread
