Is George Groves a bit of a British Boxing Community outcast?

    It seems to me that 90% of boxers and trainers are very vocal about Carl Froch 'exposing' or 'comfortably beating' George on Saturday.

    Is it just a genuine view or is he disliked by most boxers and trainers in the UK?

    I don't think any boxers or trainers would use the word 'expose' or 'exposing'. Is there a link to a reputable boxer/trainer using this term?

    And 90%? Everything I have read indicates trainers/boxers are split 50/50 maybe even more favouring groves slightly.

    Danny Vaughan recently tweeted.

    To be fair, not every person has said 'expose' - usually words of a similar meaning.

    It certainly hasn't been 50/50 from what I've read. I can't recall a single matchroom fighter tipping Groves. All of the amateur team GB boxers backs CF too. Though I suppose they're going to based on the fact that they train with him.

    The good news for GG is that Johnny Nelson hasn't backed him. You know you're in trouble when you've got him thinking you're going to win!

    I think its 60-40 Frochs favor ,,, Groves done very well and got the public behind him for the first fight , but has'nt endeared himself to well since , his constant whining , and complaining , plus trying to play mind games , is actually going against him now, he's coming across has a plonker , slash smartass who people are now thinking , Froch should shut him up , thats not to be confused with Froch is gonna shut him up .

    Theres a reason this fight is gonna be the biggest in british history , 80,000 people plus ppv , and that reason is no one can pick a winner , its just a guess .

    I think it is a 50/50 fight but it just seems to me that most pro's are picking Froch in Britain. Was just wondering whether that is just their view or if Groves isn't particularly liked.

    One other thing, whilst all pro's are clambering to sign with Eddie.....George couldn't wait to go with someone else and do his own thing. Just seems out of step with every other boxer, a bit different.

    I see he has a good few pictures of Degale on his twitter. I was reading your post like 'expose' him for being a bum or something. I see it in context now as Froch will expose his weakness. Didn't read to me like he disliked him?

    They are both a bit like Marmite at the minute with Froch in reality coming of a little better getting closer to fight night.

    I gave Groves a good chance of winning in the first fight but I wanted Froch to shut up,after the fight I was annoyed that Groves was robbed and though Froch came across terrible,Im heading over to the fight and I want Groves to win but I think hes coming across as a bit of a dickhead in this,Froch is owning him this time in the build up..

    You are barking up the wrong tree pal I wasn't taking anything serious, as I said I was only having some banter.

    Now go and make the missus some dinner and fire on Gatti-Ward for her ......
