'Prime Groves' get away with that will you. Groves had only had 19 fights when he fought Froch. He still hasn't reached his peak yet. Or was his fight with Anderson where he got decked prime Groves. Give it a rest.
Thats what happened when you get Cobra'd in front of 80,000 people and its been blatantly obvious that Groves has not been the same either after parting ways with Booth.
Calzaghe had already said he was moving up. Frank ****** offered the fight to Mick Hennessy and Froch/Hennessy turned it down because a rematch clause was in place if Calzaghe lost which is ridiculous as champions always have a rematch clause in voluntary defences. Bika took the fight because Froch didn't have the **** at the time but I guess you weren't following boxing then. Why should Calzaghe have stayed at SMW to defend his belt against Froch for a fraction of what he got fighting Hopkins when Froch had already turned the fight down once. Funny how some people like to re-write history.
Yes but he parted ways with Booth before he faced Froch remember so by your logic who's to say a 'prime Groves' wouldn't have KO'D Froch.
lol :nut Froch didn't become mando till two years after Joe beat Bika. Hennessy offered Frank a huge sum of money for that fight and he claimed Frank never returned his calls.
Booth still trained him for Froch .He still had the Adam Booth style in the first fight. Its pretty much gone from him now.
Sealed his fate now, you can't say you're too big and strong when the other guy has repeatedly said he'll move up or down for a big name fight. I have no doubt he's crazy enough to fight Golovkin, Froch needs to be motivated and this wrecking ball, he'll want to see if he can take his power (which he's said, so contradicting himself) and put an end to his streak or acknowledge the guy has the goods to be up the top of the pile.
I doubt it very much.....but we could argue that groves would of had to work alot harder due to the way golovkin cuts the ring off.....plus golovkin is just as durable as froch and hisstamina is no problem as we seen with murray
I agree with an earlier poster. If the fight was going to happen, it would've been made by now. I hope I'm wrong, but they ain't fighting.
Why else would he post that, nobody thinks he's going to retire without one last fight when his name is massive still, huge paydays and motivating challenges still there.
atsch Hennessy had nothing to offer ******. Hennessy himself is on record as saying they turned down a then career high pay day. Calylzaghe was clear the A side and Froch the B side. There was no money on the table without Calzaghe's name at that time so why should ****** and Calzaghe have agreed to Hennessy and Froch's terms. It's as simple as this the fight was offered to Froch and he turned it down.
Froch is becoming a bit of a troll, last week he was retiring, now he's posting topless twitter pictures.
