George Groves is WAY overrated

[Mr140]

Well brock i think your getting to old there bud what exactly makes Froch atg really. He was never the man fought garbage half of his career most of his top wins were against guys coming up. He has Bute, Pascal and Kessler who he is tied with thats not a atg resume.

Wards resume isnt much better? He has Froch who isnt an ATG and Dawson who was weight drained and shot.

[Mr140]

When did i bring up Ward his career still young never said he was atg. I am saying Froch is not maybe the hof fine but atg come on now. I mean does that make Kessler atg to because there about the same. Atg is a huge fucking thing for a man who was never the man in his own division don't you think.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Groves is a very talented fighter but needs to learn to use at least a little more physicality in his fights. He is not David Haye so his power is not always going to be a great deterrent or an equaliser and he is not being massively out-weighed , so he needs to learn to tie-up and out-hustle. Keep fights working in his favour.

Not that he wasn't doing well against Carl but in hindsight, he shouldn't ever find himself fighting off the ropes. He's not that guy.

He has good feet and head movement. Shut-down and reset. That's the guy he needs to be.

Most would put Ward as an ATG (including me) but going by Resume his isnt much better then Froch. He also never fights away from home. Ward is 30 but going by his activity he dont have that many matches left in him.

I dont think Froch is an ATG at all. I actually dont rate him that highly at all. Groves is the only guy hes beaten who I think is any good and Ive always thought Groves was fragile. Kesseler is good but he looked pretty shot against Froch imo, Bute crumbled, Abraham and Taylor were MW and nowhere near top level at SMW

Does that mean that Ward is an all time great because he beat Froch

Well beating him so comfortably is impressive. Also beating a close to prime Kesseller helps. Things that go against him being an ATG is never fighting out of his country and rarely out of his own town. He should also move up in weight.

you are the old man, boy. Jermaine Taylor was close to an ATG and if you dont think so you are really , really confused.

[brocktonblockbust]

Jermaine Taylor's his resume may not be ATG but it is an ass-kickin resume, and Froch beat this guy. Froch is ATG.
Here is Jermaine Taylor's highlights. Yeah he ran out of gas against Abraham and Pavlik as well. His record now is:
won 33 (KO 21) + lost 4 (KO 3) + drawn 1
rounds boxed 261 KO% 54.05
