Was a young Robin Reid better than George Groves?

[ross]

I've heard a lot about Reid being robbed or at least having a close close fight with Calzaghe. He must have been a fine fighter at one time, but seems to have run hot and cold in fights.


Having seen little of him and none in his prime, how good was he?


Groves came close to beating Froch, much like Reid did to Calzaghe, so who was superior?

Reid was good and strong. Had a good chin and a nice over hand right.

Was blatantly fouled against Lacy for the first time he'd ever been dropped.

Was beating Ottke and even dropped him in the 6th only for it to be ruled a slip. Pushed Calzaghe hard and at the time I thought Reid won but I did hate Calzaghe back then

A rematch between Joe and Robin would have been big business but Warren didnt want to risk it I assume? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GXGOvPQ_R2o
