    Yes, and if my aunt had a d**K, she'd be my uncle! Fact is, Frochs durability was part of his skillset.

    Yes, I'd agree that Groves fitness and stamina probably improved as he got older, but I'd say that was probably because he wasn't going flat out and had learned to pick his shots better, with experience.

    Still think Frochs ability to grind and grind would have undone Groves 9 times out of ten

    To say Froch just had a good chin was ridiculous.
    He had a great chin but also amazing resilience, stamina and grit.
    And also very heavy handed.
    Pretty much everything that makes a great boxer

    I know but that’s why I said without his chin haha.

    Maybe yes although Groves could always box on the back foot countering like the Degale one.

    Not just a great chin obviously.

    Yeah it would have been interesting price got dropped in the amateurs but won on points. Just seen fury been on a bender. Hopefully not the start of anything as we've all been pissed out of our skull at some point. I know I have anyway.

    I know I will again. Still a young man after months of hard work. No harm in a good **** up as long as he doesn’t make too much of a habit of it. He has a rematch to win. He may be retired in his head though.

    Much better boxer than he looked. He was slow-footed and had an awkward style, but his jab was a very effective weapon when he could get it going. He completely outboxed Abraham, and won the battle of the jabs with Kessler in their second fight. The second fight with Groves was pretty even until the knockout.

    He struggled with speed and movement, and he had a tendency to both brawl and switch off in fights which led to him taking lots of flush shots.

    If he had a more regular career when he didn't fight wars against world class fighters one after the other, his boxing skills would probably be more respected.

    It's like if you only saw JCC against Meldrick Taylor, you'd think he was a cumbersome face-first slugger.

    And that was an Abraham with just a single DQ loss at the time.

    Terrific win that.
