Ward v Groves in 2014..?
I think Groves would lose this if they fought plus can he afford back to back defeats?

Nothing wrong with back to back defeats if you're fighting the two top dudes in your weight, and obviously the one loss on his record is controversial and should have a big fat asterik next to it. Before the froch fight I would have gave groves no shot in hell against ward mainly due to lookin lackluster against old man johnson a while back but dam, still not giving him a big chance but groves would make it entertaining at least I think.Quote:

Wonder who Groves picks as his promoter/manager.
He must have had some serious interest from the USA after fighting Froch.
Id consider Freddy Roach/Wildcard if I was him and do what Khan did, I think the US would love George Groves.
Big year for him in 2014 :)
So now both Ward and Bika are telling Froch he should give Groves the rematch.
Froch must be feeling the pressure on him to do the right thing by now and fight Groves again.
He never beats Ward in a million years and imo Bika is a fucking nightmare for him and hard as nails (does Froch really want another 12 round brutal war? )

He's got to go for it if they call. Win/win for him. All he has to do is hang in and do well and he will further pressure Froch.
Groves fought well against Froch there is no doubt about that, but the hype train that is following that one performance is beyond ridiculous-Carl will take on whoever he wants to because he is in the position to do so!
The way the fight ended puts pressure on Froch to fight Groves again, however Carl is one of the few fighters around who has proved he will take on all comers, so if it doesnt happen immediately I am sure it will at some point because he doesnt duck a challenge-however Groves hasnt proven anything really, one fight against a fighter many didnt rate or believed was limited doesnt make him World Level!!Quote:

I'm sure HBO would pay for a fight with Andre Dirrell, not because he deserves it, but just because of their shared history and the lack of opponents at 168, but I doubt Ward would go for that. Other than Groves, there aren't any other opponents at 168 and Ward will have to move up to 175 where there are plenty of challenges.
