I think Groves would have been better off letting Froch fight Chavez. Froch would win, maybe get some higher profile in america and then get the rematch and beat the higher profile Froch with a few extra miles on the clock.

In the mean time he should fight Periban. Get a good competetive 12 rounder out the way to get used to the distance. He may even lose that fight. Whatever Groves does in training, he needs to change as he was tired from the 6th and slowed.
