    I really like them both, but I want groves to win.

    Froch has a few fights left in him I believe but groves is evasive and recovers from punches well, combined with Froch not being the harder puncher is the world gives Groves a slight chance.

    I believe Froch will likely take the fight, but I'd love it if Groves did.
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    Its a win win situation.

    I'll tell you what, this is a 50/50 fight, and a credit to the promoter, George Groves has gone from strength to strength since beating DeGale and could well do it. The fight is good value for a ticket buyer or PPVer.

    Having said that why are the usual Hopkins points coming out? Can't a Brit make a good payday without fighting an over the hill yank? Shame.

    Similarly, why is Cleverly even being mentioned as a possible opponent for either? Que? WB something or other, never taken a risky fight and all of a sudden want's to fight a proper non-alphabet title winner for mega money? Nathan is having a giraffe, and Warren is obviously stoking it. Froch, win or lose, should offer to fight Cleverly once he's won a proper title, and for the lions share of the purse!

    I want groves to win and if that happens, I'd like to see froch face andre direll so he can get that ass beat again.

    Andre dirrell is just a bad bad man

    Does Dirrell have any plans whatsoever? He's been completely irrelevant for nearly 3 years now after that whole dubious brain injury. I'd like to see him rebound but he doesn't appear to interested, there is no reason for Froch to even think about that rematch.

    Hearn will never put froch back in with dirrell again.

    Too much risk for very little money.

    As you said, dirrell hardly ever fights anymore anyway. What on earth is going on with him?

    Mhmm, I don't care to see a rematch either and Direll just needs to fight if he's going to. Their first fight stunk hard, but I see no way to score it for Froch, it was a hometown decision imo. Groves isn't as fast as Dirrell but he's less timid, and still has the right style to give Froch similar problems if he is smart and his chin can hold up in the process.

    A friend of mine spoke to him briefly after a fight in Vegas and he says Dirrell seems to be in good spirits. Dirrell claimed he's keeping himself in shape and will get back in the ring soon .

    Im not holding my breath though. He's still young and if he was so eager to fight again, he would have came back awhile ago.

    Maybe he's still having promotional issues?

    We dont know that yet. Who has hit him competatively in the pros?

    We already know hes been dropped by Carl in sparring and like you said, Froch isnt the hardest puncher in the world....
