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.
