    indeed she claimed on twitter she is richer than him, but unless shes knocking herself out at 50k a night 365 days a year I doubt it

    Not when one is proven world class and the other is not proven at that level, and only recently got battered till he was staggering around ring with back to opponent,(who happens to be the same guy with 4 world titles) hands down unable to defend himself. Also add to that he has stamina issues, and the older guy is far fitter

    Only reason he's taken the fight. Well, that and the fact he'd lose the IBF title.

    No he was always going to fight him as fans wanted it, and its the most money. He was dragging it out to get Groves to go to IBF so GG is mandatory and is only due 15% of purse, as Eddie Hearn said before GG would have got 25% until that move. So Froch earned from it.

    No its not lol. But what did I say that was wrong, was it GG turned his back on Froch was staggering with hands at his side, or fact Froch is far fitter? If its the first watch it again, if its the later, watch video and watch GG gassing and that was only in 9th, furthermore v DeGale he lost majority of later rounds in fight as ran out of steam. and DeGale doesn't fight at quick pace Froch fights at.
