    Jeez i wouldn't have recognised Groves there. He's certainly filled out.

    There's a reason Canelo vacated the title and Sergio never fought him.

    Who is Groves? His only achivement is getting beating by Smith and Froch two times.

    Groves was a good SMW. Had a very good jab and a bit of pop in his punches.

    Shame GGG never got the fights in his prime.

    Remember this when it happened. Talking of which.....

    I remember Martin Murray saying that for single one shot power, Groves cracked harder than GGG and is the hardest hitting opponent he's been in with. However as the fight wore on, Groves power would drop off whereas GGG would maintain the power throughout.

    Not surprised because Groves could really bang with the right hand.

    I like Groves shame Froch derailed him (first time bad ref) he had good attributes was just unlucky a couple of times. and wasn't afraid to go in with the best.. We all know GGG was avoided like the clap. Or to cash out and take a beating (I'm still confused as to why Brook went up two weights to literally cave his head in and break him at the top level) or do a Leonard and wait for the beast to slow down before showing any interest and even then paying off the judges.

    It's funny because this is exactly how Canelo likes his beef...

    I give Brook credit for Daring to be great, but in retrospect it was a very bad idea.
