Groves vs Plant and Froch vs Benavidez

Groves was quick though, I reckon he beats plant.

 

Groves/Plant is a 50/50 fight for me. Plant is bigger a little more elusive, but Groves was a bigger puncher and a bit faster. Both tend to lose whenever they step up, neither were the best of their era and maybe the power of Groves sees him come out on top or maybe he just finds a way to lose like he so often did.

Froch/Benavidez would be a cracking fight given their styles. But you can't favour Benavidez in this match up, he simply isn't as proven as Froch. Froch can be out boxed from range but that isn't Benavidez's style, in fact with his long jab, I see Froch winning the fight on the outside. Even if Benavidez turns it into a brawl, Froch is a warrior and can take whatever Benavidez dishes out and in a battle of attrition I wouldn't bet against Froch.

 

Groves mentioned sparring Plant, didn't seem too worried about him.
Groves is fast and 'slick' enough, and much more powerful. Plant got KO'd by Canelo, so he's not iron-chinned.
I would take Groves in that, by KO.

Groves had a bad run of luck during his peak years, probably could have had better results with his abilities. Had the fall out with his trainer right before the Froch fight, first fight was obviously shafted and that stoppage just looks worse as time goes on actually, then sort of got stuck with the hippy trainer for a while, who tried to make him a combo puncher, which may have cost him the Jack fight. Shoulder rehab before the Smith fight. Then retired young partly because he had demons from putting that guy in a wheelchair. He did well financially but I wouldn't exactly say he had all the breaks in the sporting sense.

Froch and Groves

Plant could maybe beat Groves but Froch beats the good but overrated Benavidez, maybe stops him

 

Froch gave Ward a good fight, I think he would give David hell in an absolute war. I back him to beat Benny by competitive decision.

 

Not according to some on here
Lol

 

Benaividez stops Froch and Groves beats Plant but perhaps I am biased as I have always considered Groves a mate.

 

Groves fell short multiple times on the highest stage before evetually becoming world champion

Froch has his lack of ability exposed numerous times but his engine, chin and heart got him through many times.

Plant may be too small for Groves (who was a big SMW) while Benavidez may overpower them both.
