    Does he?

    Groves like Khan is fast,flashy but kinda sloppy. A good boxer who could beat alot if not most in his weigh class,BUT his chin will hold him back alot...

    I can see him having a similar career to Khan

    Some good wins
    And bad TKO losses (already two)

    Exciting boxer who will be in good bouts

    Khan's better at the boxing part. Wouldn't have been them close rounds.

    Chin is overhyped yet again. Who can take a clean Froch right hand like that? Don't get in the way of it in the first place...Groves started getting sloppy.

    That punch was a seriously snappy punch landed perfectly george didnt see coming, would knockdown most men.

    Lets not forget groves also knocked carl down in fight 1 . Anyone can get knocked down, stop acting like your all superman and everyone else has a glass jaw.

    Groves is aggressively very skilled but defensively very poor IMO, he's shocking on the ropes and that's what caused the ko. He's at is best coming forward and stalking, he fought the wrong fight on the backfoot being cautious.

    Khan's a better fighter. But there are similar characteristics.

    this, you cannot drop your hands on the ropes at any time, especially if you're facing a guy who can crack and has years of experience more than you, Froch was very smart and capitalized on the first serious mistake Groves made

    He's not good enough on the ropes to fight off them, I think Groves should have stuck with Booth IMO.

    Groves should get back with Adam Booth.

    Groves with his athletic, David Haye like high octane style would be best if he got back with Booth.

    Two loses? That's reaching a little too munch, this is his first genuine loss.

    He managed to take Frotches best punches and not get KO'd in the first fight. personally i just think it was lazy defence and a mistake by GG, thats why the punch landed.

    I don't think they are similar at all.

    Both pack the finest of british glass (cant stop thinking about groves in both fights being rocked by froch's stupid arm punches) and have a jittery style energy consuming style.

    Khan is all around better...better chin, better left hand (though groves right is better than any punch khan has), much better fitness.

    Groves is better than Khan. He has more power, better footwork, defense, ring iq, etc. His chin is also sturdier. He's not perfect in these departments but better than Khan for sure.
