    Froch is boxings version of Andy Murray.
    Fact is most Brits hate winners, they'd rather support losers who come across nicer in interviews.

    Groves had Froch in way more trouble earlier than Froch had Groves when the fight was called. Why wasn't the fight stopped then?

    Groves should get a rematch ASAP. Now Chisora got a gift, it seems to never end............

    As a Canadian cheering for Canadian fighters, I know that the rigors of battling to the top in our domestic scene are not as trying as those that exist in countries like the US or Mexico where boxing is taught at a very very high level from the youth level on up. The result is that promoter are left with having to turn non-battle tested stars into household names in order to sell them to the 20 thousand plus fans that want to pack the bell center in montreal or the pepsi collusium in Quebec city four or five times a year. So when I see a Canadian fighter finally come due and have to challenge a fellow world level fighter I'm often nervous and have legitimate doubts about there ability. I think Jim Watt takes this to a whole new embarrassing level. Literally any Brit fighter that tries to challenge at world level he automatically **** talks and criticizes. Almost, like he wants to be the guy who could say I told you so afterwards. He'll do it to groves too if he ever ends up facing Ward. Count on it. Anyways, he's been **** talking Froch since Froch started making rumblings about thinking he was world class. Before that it was all about his punch accuracy, speed and boxing ability.

    That makes no sense as Groves was the one being booed and hated on in the build up to this fight. The public didn't turn on Froch until the joke stoppage and his embarrassing post fight interview. If the they hate a winner why didn't they turn on Froch til he was beaten pillar to post?

    Stopped reading at his point and then picked up at the end, but you know, you had already lost me. From the first line or so, I can tell you the hysteria was from a thrilling climax to a great fight was wrecked by the premature ejaculation of Howard Foster. So we were left frustrated, we kicked **** out fo the cats, banged the wives, but still that empty feeling that we were robbed just would not leave. We're over it now though through intense therapy of women and beer, until now...

    Froch has lost more times than Groves. He should be more loved.
