    I used to respect Froch, but if he refuses to give Groves a rematch, then I will lose my respect..................

    Haye is not really healed up, it is rumored that his toe has still not healed..........

    The disrespect for fighters on esb is why I rarely post on here.
    Yes groves was winning at the time of the stoppage, yes the stoppage was a bit premature, but it happens. Personally I think groves was tiring fast and would have been stopped anyway.
    Not hating on groves. He showed his quality against froch and has a bright future ahead of him, but froch has paid his dues, fought everybody there is to fight. If he wants to take a different fight, for the money or whatever , that's ok with me

    Groves/FrochII would be fun, but so would KesslerIII, WardII or a Chavez Jr fight...

    All four are fights I would pay to watch, and would add something to the legacy of the fighters involved.

    Everybody wants the rematch apart from Froch it seems.

    To be honest I would prefer matches with Chavez, Kessler or Ward before the rematch with Groves.

    George put up a very good performance, and he might be able to build on it and show next time he can keep it going for 12 rounds, or he might of peaked with this fight, and may not perform at even that level again.

    If he has enough confidence in his own abilities, he does not need to worry about Froch, as the match will happen in due course or Groves will overtake the Cobra and make a rematch pointless...

    what can Froch v Kessler 3 achieve? for us the fans i mean? can the fight be better than the other 2?no of course not, both men are older ,slower and not nearly motivated that was even clear between 1st and 2nd fight....all a third fight does is line their pockets which i suppose is what it is all about but i wont be joining in and i feel the same about David Haye ,with bells on..

    Groves rematching Degale isn't the same as Carl and Groves. There was nothing dodgy about Groves beating Degale he doesn't owe James a rematch Froch needs to give Groves one.

    Thats open to interpretation.
    Most of the people i sat with on fight night thought Degale had won by at least 2 rounds, i thought George nicked it, but i must admit that i didn't like Degales trash talking prior to the fight, and i also thought he'd outbox George.
    On reflection, it was all Degale in the later rounds, and he looked like he wanted to keep pressing the action and hoping for the KO.

    I think the George groves of today is a completely different fighter to the one that fought degale

    Would like to see him in a war with Degale at some point, Degale would no way eat 50 hard punches in the chin and still come back and win. Groves would knock out Groves by round 3 if he fought the froch fight tactics
