Was a young Robin Reid better than George Groves?

Froch KO'd Reid, not in his 'prime', but I think he stops any version.

Marciano KO'd Joe Louis, Holmes stopped Ali.

Two guys who aren't Robin Reid got beat by fighters they would likely have beaten had they fought years earlier... What's your point?

I don't think Marciano or Holmes would get a W if they faced either of those guys in their primes, I do think Froch would beat Reid, maybe not as heavily...

Do you have anything productive to discuss with me, or are you going to grasp at more vague parallels to make another nonpoint.

You have no idea.

You point out that Froch in his prime beat Reid who was well outside of his is the same as as those other foghters getting beaten.

People discount Calzaghes win over Eubank just the same.

Master said he doubted Reid would beat Froch, I pointed out that he had lost to Froch, but not during Reid's prime. I added my opinion that I thought Froch would likely beat him in his prime too.

That's it. Do you think I was trying to infer something more than that?

You brought up the result of the fight as if it was relevant but as I pointed out, beating a 37 year old Reid is as relevant as Calzaghes win over Eubank, Marcianos over Louis and Holmes over Ali.

The point is prime Froch beats prime Reid. Styles do make fights and Groves is more fluid and faster than Reid so I think George would beat him.

Relevant to what exactly? I replied directly to Master because I wasn't sure if he knew the two had met, that's it. I can't simplify it for you any more, I wish I could!...

If I was trying to make more of it than that then I wouldn't have went out of my way to point out that Reid was old at the time would I?!

Jesus... Only you would get excited over and try to dissect such a simple post...
