Compare that to Hroves fighting a genuine world champ in only his 20th fight, after 5 years.

Groves career has moved faster than Frochs.
Groves also fought a very dangerous opponent in James DeGale after 12 fights, was closer to 20 before Froch took on his first decent fighter in MaGee and even then DeGale would be far more of a threat then MaGee.
