Groves's Loss. What does it do to Froch's "Legacy"?

[ono]

So George Groves has lost another World title fight, this time he was expected to win. I like Groves, but I'm not one of these guys that is blind to the facts (Ross)
But the point of this thread is about Froch. He's built this legacy thing on the Bute & Kessler win and the Groves fights.
Well Bute has done nothing since to prove he was anything, Kessler has done nothing to prove he wasn't finished, and now Groves has so far only proved he is European level.
Of course, Froch and his fans will say that they've all Been "Cobra'd", but personally I don't buy that .
IMO, Froch's legacy is that he was a decent World Champion without ever being the no.1 in the division, he had a granite chin , which he needed as his skiilset wasn't good enough, and as Gary Player would say he worked hard and earned himself a lot of luck.
Good but not great ! I'm sure some people will see it differently.

It does nothing at all to it. I'm not sure what luck had to with any of it either. You can be great without ever being technically great. Froch has a lot of very good wins over very dominant fighers.

When I mentioned "Luck" , I alluded to the old Gary Player quote. "The harder I work, the luckier I get." Meaning Froch wasn't lucky, he made his own luck through the hard work and dedication he possessed.
