    Degale; Groves is still very young and can only get better from this loss. The greatest that ever lived IMO, Joe Louis got his backside handed to him by over the hill Max Smelling(sp) and considered retiring at 22. His mom told him to buck up and learn more and Joe did and became the greatest. Also, Max knocked Joe out just as brutally as was Groves today. If you're young, defeat can be the best lesson life can give one.

    Froch will fight DeGale next and SGG will face the winner, i would go for George to beat either of them, Froch would be roughly 38 years of age by then.

    sorry but no one wants to see froch vs groves 3 now

    when they end like that you dont care to see anymore

    it's just like pacman vs marquez... the way the 4th ended no one cares for a 5th

    Marquez got knocked down 3 times in the first fight only to go on and give a very good account of himself.

    I doubt a third fight will happen, but if Groves gets a new trainer, and modifies certain aspects of his game, he can be Froch. He was beating Froch twice on the scorecards before getting stopped by the ref in the first one, and getting dropped in the second one.

    Groves vs Some Dude in Germany. He needs a good win.

    A new trainer and a confidence building soft touch.

    A DeGale rematch would be awesome, since DeGale isn't getting Froch right away.

    Kessler and Abraham would be great fights he could potentially win, same stable too...
