    Its always been bubbling under the surface with Carl. This is why hes never had the following that Hatton had. His work ethic deserves it but his attitude and personality just turns people off him big time.

    It used to sound a hundred times worse when hed never even fought a ranked fighter.

    Eddie Hearn must look at stuff like this and just put his head in his hands. All that good work hes done with Froch and something like this can just turn fans away from buying tickets. Someone whos struggling with money who was umming and ahhing about buying the fight or even going to it, Carl may just make their minds up for them with comments like this.

    What are you talking about ? He has a point, I used to be a Groves fan but he is way too full of himself recently and I wouldn't trust Adam Booth as far as I could throw him. The guy comes across like a confidence trickster. He talks about all the improvements he sees in his fighters and then they come out and fight with the same glaring flaws as before. Booth tried to talk up Andy Lee's last fight and though understandable to a degree it was pretty shambolic. If Groves really saw himself as a Froch opponent the best thing he could do is take advantage of the opportunity to spar with him.

    "all the good work Hearn has done with Froch"
    seriously the guy has just creamed the profits of someone else's work. Froch has earned his own reputation and most fans can respect that. You seem to be the one with something bubbling under the surface.

    Froch knocked Groves out in sparring a couple of years ago. DeGale taunted him about it in the build-up to their fight.

    Froch sounding like a dick will not harm sales in anyway whatsoever. Expect more of this shit over the next week as they try and sell the PPV.

    Hearn has done a great job for Froch.

    This has nothing to do with Groves.

    Its Froch thats crying about him. Groves has said nothing.

    What is Groves supposed t do, phone and check with Carl each time someone wants to spar with him? Get fucking real! Its got fuck all to do with Carl! If Carl was that bothered he could have said to Groves "Sont go and spar with Kessler, spar with me and ill pay you more" but he hasnt, so he cant bitch about it.

    For Froch to start spitting bile about Groves and how hes getting beaten up in sparring but what has Groves done or said to Carl? Nothing, all hes done is taken up an opportunity to further his career and Froch doesnt like it. Maybe he never got those same opportunities and hes just jealous?

    Yes I am sure that Carl Froch is jealous of George Groves When you call yourself St George and try to promote yourself as an English Icon then sparring with the enemy is traitorous and should be rewarded with a spell in the tower of London. If boxing was just about the man then I would be cheering for Kessler but it isn't so I will be cheering for Froch. C'mon England.
