    Those are not like for like comparisons, just like Groves is nothing like Gatti. If anything Froch is more like Gatti and Froch is not really like Gatti much at all.

    The doubters who have been put to silence are virtually everyone on Earth when Groves suggested that he would meet Froch in the centre of the ring and batter him round after round. You are trying to turn it all on it's head.
    Beanz have you ever seen Gatti fight/stance/ Groves fights esxactly like Gatti. Low left hand, right hand up to the chin, wide stance, crouching, long range bombs, wide punches, shifting his balance rapidly and incessantly from one foot to the other, he fights and ACTS exactly like Gatti. Groves is way overrated. He is a rough-houser with a good jab but his punches also lack POP. Or will you say Froch has granite in his chin? Surely frocjh shoulda been KTFO after so many overhand rights gfrom Groves right on the button. Surely.!!

    Of course Froch has a granite chin that is why despite getting smacked in the head and mouth for 10 years by top class opposition he has never been knocked out. It cant last forever though and Groves has more than enough pop to stop him. Describing Groves as a rough Houser with a good jab is seriously under rating his boxing ability. Personally I still think Groves is nothing like Gatti.

    How are you right? You said George was WAY overrated and only had a punchers chance yet the 2nd best guy at 168lbs went life and death with him twice. His punchers chance had him well ahead in the first fight and had it pretty even in the 2nd. Questioning his chin and stamina would be fine but there should be no question marks about his skill level.

    life and death hahahaha First fight ol' Carl was just warmin' up. Took him a few rounds then he lowered the fucking boom. Same way Lennox took apart Vitali. Those aging Greats sometimes dont take fights seriously enough/dont train hard enough, and they pay a price for it like Lewis did against Vitali or Carl did the 1st fight with Groves. BUT COME ON WAKE THE FUCK UP... YOU CALL THE 2ND FIGHT "LIFE AND DEATH"? HAHAHAHA groves only won 2 rounds, one even, at best.

    Carl himself conceded that Groves was well in the fight and it was pretty even. I thought Groves won the 2nd, 5th and 7th rounds and was winning the 8th comfortably up until the knockout punch. I think you're letting hatred/wanting to be right cloud your judgement.

    Froch nailed him hard with a killer punch.

    Groves was still well in the fight.

    Thats it.

    I gave Groves 1, 2, 3 or 4, 5 and 7. Think Sky tricked you Brock. Jim Watt was trying to claim Froch was winning the battle of the jabs despite landing fuck all. Most of Frochs shots were landing on arms and gloves, he did land some body shots but not enough to be winning rounds for me. It was pretty clear that sky were biased towards Groves. I have it 4-1 Groves after 5 but sky had it the other way around. I really thought they were trying to build hype for a third fight. Jim Watt had it 9-3 to Froch but judges gave it to Froch, robbery, they need a 3rd fight etc.
