    There is a barometer to compare their abilities in their respective fights against the ghost of Glencoffe Johnson...

    Groves is better in every way except the chin

    Froch has been hurt in the past, contrary to his fanboys he is not the Terminator and technically is shockingly limited.

    Frochs skills are underrated, but groves is still probably the better technical boxer.

    All irrelevant though because he will just overwhelm groves and stop him.

    This is the unknown for me, if Groves can remain disciplined and stick to his boxing he has an excellent chance of winning. The loss of Booth is huge and ultimately may be the deciding factor. Booth seemed very confident in Groves defeating Froch before they split.

    I think the biggest factors in this fight will be power and stamina. As long as Groves has the power to keep Froch honest and the legs to get out of his range and absorb his power he will be winning but once he starts to tire, which he probably will Froch will take over and may force the stoppage.

    You dont get to his level without being a good boxer.

    Outboxed a dangerous AA and outfought Taylor.

    Hammers Groves.

    Possibly Groves but I've just watched that Ringside on youtube. Hope Froch levels him, what a ***** Groves is.

    Froch is a level above Groves and it will show.

    Froch will stop Groves so yes Froch is the better Boxer/fighter whatever you want to call it. He is a better overall fighter than Groves.
