    Out of these 3 who do you think has the best chance of winning? A lot of people are saying the oppourtunity has come too early but the chances are one of them will win and shock the vet.

    I think they will all lose. Give Groves a better chance than the other 2 though.

    Groves is the only one with no chance whatsoever.

    Fury and Haye is a 50/50 fight. When has Haye shown even the slightest aggression against a big HW.

    As for Canelo vs Mayweather.....is Mayweather so faded he can't handle the aggression of Canelo???? IDK.....but there will come a day when he will be laid out on the canvas....and it could well be in this fight.

    Groves is a poor mans version of Froch, and Froch aint faded at all. He's like Lewis and the K2....almost no gap in his abilities since his prime.:think

    I'm going for groves, i just think he will be too much for the old man and outwork him.

    I agree with Chitownfightfan. I see Groves as having the least chance. Froch is still in his prime and has a massive edge in the chin, stamina and expierience departments which will all count, as well as having a better reach. Fury - Haye is 50/50 and Canelo - Mayweather is 50/50 although I'm starting to lean to Canelo. Just my opinion.

    Groves will be totally beaten up by the 5th, i give Groves no chance i see a similar fight to the Froch vs Bute fight and we all know what happened there..

    I'm not going to say Groves has no chance but he is no better than DeGale in my opinion and I'd actually give DeGale a better chance vs Froch which wouldn't be much at this stage. Groves has power but I doubt it will be enough to phase Froch (like he seems to think). I also think a tough 12 round assignment against someone like Abraham would have been in order and IF Groves could get past that then he would be in a better position for this fight.

    Canelo isn't the finished article yet and Mayweather is still on another level to anyone else in or around his weight. I would see a Canelo win as the least likely upset of the three.

    Fury will get KO'ed against Haye, he simply hasn't shown me anything to suggest he can overcome Haye's advantages in speed, power and skill.

    Groves is talented his speed and power are impressive but we don't know if he will be able to cope with Froch's power and if he can cope with a fighter of Froch's level. Will he fold under the pressure or rise to the occasion? Froch's preparation may also not be as comprehensive as usual as he has been training for a dancing TV show, so his focus maybe elsewhere. So I'd give Groves the best chance.

    None of them. Canelo loses by decision. Fury gets KTFO. Groves gets tko'd. Mismatches all, though Canelo would be the only one with a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

    Canelo doesn't have a chance in his fight, so he's the least likely. taking off another 2 pounds weakens his chances even further.

    Fury-Haye could go either way due to Haye being out for quite some time and not being where he'd like to be with his stamina. so i'd have to say Fury has the better chance.

    Groves would be next in line at second. he's out-matched in the experience column, but does stand a great chance due to his speed and power.

    it's Fury. but that isn't because he's the better fighter, it's down to the lack of work that Haye has had over the past 12 months or so.

    Alvarez has the least chance to win
    Fury like Alvarez is bigger yet lacks talent still more of a chance
    Groves is my upset pick for second half of the year. Froch wants him to mix it up which tells me he knows Groves has the skill to outboox him.

    I think they all lose, but I give Canelo the least chance. I give Fury the best chance because of his size, power, and the fact that Haye doesn't have the sturdiest of chins.

    Canelo. Fury and Groves will both get hammered into tomorrow. I think Canelo has a legit shot.

    Floyds a former SFW so his chin at JMW has to be an open question.
