    Where are all the fools saying Froch was a coward and would never consider giving Groves a rematch?

    A lot of people actually staunchly believe Groves already proved he was the better man the first time around, even though he didn't win.

    What will you moan about now?

    If the rematch does happen I think its a fight that FRoch has been forced into by public reaction to the first rather than wanting to take the fight.

    Also SKY TV and his promoter are pushing him into it as well.

    Froch is the one who started changing his tone when he "won" the first fight and started to indicate that he no longer thinks he needs to rematch Groves.

    Groves can beat him in the second fight and prove why Froch was reluctant... also the fight hasn't even been announced yet.

    Would you like to make a bet on whether Froch gives Groves the rematch?

    Sounds like you want him to not give the rematch, why is that?

    Does it hurt you that u put so much effort into badmouthing froch based on him ducking Groves, and it looks like Froch is now giving him the rematch?

    Win or lose, he ducks nobody. Not many boxers like that. Why dont u want Froch to give him the rematch eh chump?

    Why would it sting? It's the fight everybody wanted to see regardless of whether they thought it would happen or not.

    In reality it is the public pressure that has forced froch to maintain his 'warrior' image and take the rematch. If we all had sat back and said 'what will be will be' and not all pushed for it, do you think the fight would be happening?

    I think this might be the first ever World title fight boxed by two men who don't want to be there

    Reckon Froch took Groves lightly first time round, he will beat Groves again too!

    Even now the fight looks like it's going to be made people are still questioning Froch. In the rematch there will be more pressure on Groves and Froch will have so much motivation, I could see Froch stopping Groves. If Froch wins I bet some of the same guys who have been bashing him over the last couple of months become big fans again. If it happens I just want a good fair fight.

    The public forcing him to be a warrior - OK then. I suppose all his other decisions were for that reason only as well right from Pascal and Taylor. It's a shame no other fighters listened to the public that way in England.

    he's very professional, so i doubt it. in a radio interview just before the fight, he intimated (but refused to confirm) he wasn't 100%. whether that was injury, as he mentioned afterwards, or age remains to be seen. still favourite for me, though.

    Fights don't get signed the week after do they? If there is one man you could not question as a ducker it would be Froch.

    He said after the fight "Eddie lets get the rematch on" then 48 hours later he started saying he didn't need to take the rematch tko 9 and all this nonsense that's why people were getting on his back from the clear turnaround in his reaction.
