Froch vs. Groves has been ordered by the IBF

[Vendettos]

It is a win win situation for Groves because a loss to Froch is not in the slightest bit a disgrace.

He won't drop far do wn the ranks if he loses, in fact he'd be unlucky if he dropped more than 2 or 3 spots, and he will still more than likely have another world title shot.

And if he wins, he's a world champion.

All the risk is with Froch.

Groves should try and win a title first from a lesser fighter if possible like the German that beat Abrahams. That would build his profile and experience for a challenge against Froch. This fight would be too soon.

Although I cant get the picture out of my head that @Fenster drew of a man fighting a boy I also think you make a great point. Losing might even help him in more ways then one. It really is a win/win and if he manages to beat him the worlds kind of his oyster. I'm inclined to believe that his team probably thinks along the lines of Fenster and they might pass which imo nobody can shit on him for doing.

At least I know now what Stevenson's plans are. He's obviously staying at 175.
