    What kind of argument is that? It doesnt matter in the slightest whether he would or he wouldn't. the fact is, he didn't have too. Froch doesnt hit that hard. Groves does.

    I think Groves will win, but most of the fighters/trainers pressed on who wins, have picked Froch that Ive seen.
    I just don't see what Froch can do differently to get out of the way of the shots that hurt him over and over and over.

    I think it really depends on how shot froch is after the first fight, as he proved he can take Groves power as he swallowed a further 40 power punches to the chin and didnt go down.

    the sort of argument you evidently can't counter.

    True mate, but I don't think Groves will go in to try and stop him, Froch didn't know what to do against him, but Groves was super tired.
    I don't think Groves will burn as much energy pre-fight, and I think he'll just try and do what he did but conserve a bit more energy to see him home.

    Why are you calling me Jim?

    He hardly landed a shot in the first six rounds and was scared to come forward FACT

    the thing is it densest matter that Groves is more skilled, if Froch outlasts him and takes him out late its not a factor. the question is can Froch take another beating to get to that point? if he can he will just out tough George again.

    Far too much favourtism and what people want to happen rather than being subjecive.

    There's loads of ways at looking at the last fight, was it the best GG was it a poor Froch that showed up. Can GG do that again, Froch wont be as emotional this time.

    I'm a Froch fan and want him to win but GG has shwon he has some of what it takes and feel if he does box clever he can win but Froch is the champion and finds a way of getting you.

    All in all it's great for British boxing! I want Froch to win mainly due to GG's approach / demeanour everything about him last fight and this one is annoying, IF he does win I hope he doesnt continue to behave the same as I'd like to support him going forward.

    The only thing going against Groves is his stamina.

    Whereas Froch can keep going seemingly for ever, Groves seemed to be tiring by round 7. Although I did give Groves Round 8 too since most of Froch's shots in that round were illegal.

    Hope he's worked on his stamina since the last fight.

    LOL, I'd post the dictionary definition of irony but i think you've covered it nicely.
