    Find it hard to disagree with any if that

    Speaks the truth. I hope froch doesn't end up being punch drunk in years to come

    I think the rematch will happen, there are no fights Froch could take apart from Groves II which would satisfy the public apart from GGG, that is the only fight he would get a pass for and that isn't happening.

    I dont think he would get a pass for GGG from the public. The people who buy the odd ppv and watch a couple of fights a year dont know GGG

    True, it would be harder to sell for sky... 'casual' fans don't really know GGG.

    I certainlymwould give froch a pass for that fight though... Although that's the only fight that would interest me... Kessler, Ward or Bute wouldn't really bring the interest Groves 2 would.

    GGG is of interest because it pits a big puncher moving up in weight with a bigger guy with granite chin but no defence.

    If there is a rematch and Groves wins does that not open up the possibilty of a 3rd fight and even more money?

    There's a high probability that he will he's taken far too many hard clean head shots over the years that's a price you pay when you have a solid chin just look at Muhammad Ali all those repeated blows must have a long term effect

    I could listen to that man for hours. Talks so much sense.

    Agreed.

    Arguably the sharpest man in British Boxing. So switched on.

    Adam is top drawer.

    Sky will push for Froch Groves 2,they will be looking into the future of PPV and after last weeks performance they probably see George Groves as a future PPV star whereas Froch is only short term.

    What's Grove's relationship like with Hearn? I got the impression post-fight that it was tentative at best.

    Everything Booth says there is spot on.
