To me Zurdo is a very good boxer BUT lacks big time power or speed to be elite Dudes huge tho & has solid skills
Remember that Bob/HBO were trying to make a PPV with GGG then, and a comprehensive championship win is better than risking a KO vs a notorious one punch hitter.
He moved up to SMW at 22 yo. He's still growing, and with injury, is probably having trouble with the weight. Could be he's slowed simply due to that
Harsh I feel. Groves has been down on three occasions as far as I remember. But he usually gets up and comes back. The only time he has been properly KO'd was that punch from Froch which would have flattened a rhino and even then he made it to his feet.
Really? I don't think I gave him a round against Froch. And no more than a handful combined against Zurdo, Ward, Dirrell and Eubank.
