    Its a real 50/50 fight for me I can make a case for them both winning.

    I don't agree with Junior's chin being like his Dad's though he was stunned VS Spike and ran halfway across the ring after being nailed by Blackwell. Against a top class puncher, I can see him getting caught and hurt and maybe stopped. IS the Groves the man? Not sure. If Eubank can get him on the back foot in a shell then he wins and George may have to fight at a pace he doesn't want to.
    - That said he Eubank falls in and dives in with shots and overreaches like he has a tendency to do you can see GG landing some big counters and that puts him in the driving seat.

    Froch goes against Groves in a prediction? Surprising.

    This is a genuine 50/50. Not only has Eubank never fought at Groves' level but he's been beating guys who all fight the same way - walk forward, hands up, no jab. Groves is a big SMW and has possibly the best jab at the weight. This will be a real test for Eubank. Last time he faced someone with decent boxing skills and a jab he lost. Groves has vulnerabilities which are Eubank's strength's which makes this so close, but if i had to choose i'd edge towards Groves. Eubank's chin will have a big part to play imo. It's never really been tested and if he can't take a good shot then's he's ****ed.

    That was funny as hell. I thought dude would have a sense of humor about it but nope.
    I was watching All In The Family and The Jeffersons the other day and that type of comedy would spark stupid protest in first world countries today.

    Yes, but only when I disagree with blaming an entire group of people for my problems.

    Show me where Jnr displays his father's chin ?
    Who has fought could out bang Nigel Benn or could out box Michael Watson ?

    Show me where Jnr displays his father's power...granted he does have volume of punches but if he had Snr's power he wouldn't need that. He is like a machine gun loaded with blanks, no one really drops, they might wilt , , but usually the ref has to end it rarely do they hit the canvas with a sickening thud that makes you think " Jeez that guys in trouble"...Jnr got no power!
    What he does have in common with Snr is his need to have a hidden rest...thats when Groves will work him & unsettle him. To long Jnr has been nursed along on fodder, know he will have to earn his stripes...we'll see...wish them both well...Go George ( oops) did I say that out loud ?
