    Groves face after the first fight suggests he has a fairly decent chin. But its not an elite chin like embank / froch.

    I think it's confirmed that Groves has both chin and stamina problems, and those two issues will prevent him from becoming champion unfortunately.

    He gets dropped through a flash knockdown is up in a split second now his chin is the problem. He starts flagging a bit in the 8th/9th but comes back hard to finish the fight, now he has a stamina problem. In actual fact these two 'problems' are the least of his worries mate. But a shortsighted **** as yourself who only has these two things to bang on about will always try to make it the issue. Even tho it's not.

    Bonafide porcelain is Groves.

    To be knocked down like that in the first.

    Then he was staggering around like a drunk in the 8th.

    He came back well but only because Jack already thought he had it in the bag.

    He is borderline world class. But that chin is fine porcelain.

    Time to retire three losses in his last five

    The degale fight and any world title fight are further away than when he first. Laced them up evetythingforarasin though

    His style does not help him either.

    He has a very clunky, high energy style, and it saps his strength. He is always going to be open and going to get tagged unfortunately.
    I think DeGale would crack him now.

    Lots people get dropped in the first when their body isn't prepped for taking punches. Calzaghe dropped in first fee times goes onto to take solid shots throughout

    I always thought Groves would win a rematch but I can't see it happening now, although Degale has stamina issues himself I think Groves is ruined. He just doesn't have the chin for elite fights.

    He hasn't got the best of whiskers though. I'd say his biggest problem is stamina which in turn affects fatigue and your ability to hold a shot

    No he doesn't have a glass jaw...

    He got put down as a 21 year old boy against Kenny Anderson, who could punch. He came off the floor to stop him 2 rounds later.

    He was hit with an absolute rocket by Carl Froch that would have dropped a horse... yet still made an attempt to get up and beat the count.

    He was caught cold in the 1st round by a shot, which as has already been said in this thread was similar to what Price was hit with and they do scramble your senses. He once again made it up and went the 12 rounds.
