Was a young Robin Reid better than George Groves?

[erics44]

Can't remember Joe and Froch saying that and I am sure Ottke was a slip.

Ottke wasnt a slip. Watch it.

Froch saying Reid is the hardest puncher hes ever faced and this was after the first Groves fight.

MH Grill: Carl Froch :: Men's Health

He said the hardest puncher he faced was Arthur Abrahams and the hardest he had been hit was Reid big difference. Froch was probably not taking Reid not seriously as he was old but with AA he did not allow himself to get hit.

Its there n black and white. The hardest hes ever been hit is by Reid.

Hes saying on paper Abraham was a big puncher but the reality was that Reid hit him harder than anyone else including Groves apparently.

Breath it in, ahhh...

Read it and understand. Reid hit him the hardest but that does not mean he is the hardest puncher he has faced there is a difference.

Ok, Reid was the most effective and hardest puncher actually being able to catch Froch where Abraham couldnt. If YOU re read he actually says he has no idea how how hard Abraham hits because Abraham couldnt touch him. He said Abraham was the biggest puncher on papaer not in reality. Dont forget Abraham was a puncher against middleweights whereas a past it 37 year old Reid actually hit Froch harder than anyone else and this includes Kessler and Groves.

"The hardest hitter is probably the guy who didn’t hit me, Arthur Abraham. His record said he was the hardest hitter but I can’t say whether he was or not. When I fought him he never landed any punches, I made him miss. Robin Reid hit me with the hardest punch I’ve ever been hit with."

Its there, for some reason you are choosing to interperet it as so ething else. Reid was a good puncher.

Reid was definitely a good puncher


he beat ottke


he was miles past his best by the time he fought lacey


so he is a very respected fighter and very definitely world class, if you name britains top super middle weights reid would be up there but I don't think he would be the cream, and I personally think that groves could outbox him, I wouldn't put my house on it tho

Yeah, he was known for being strong and having a good chin and that first knockdown seemed to ruin his punch resistance for good. Never knocked down previously amateur or pro, in sparring or competition. 130 odd amteur bouts against the best in the world. Lacy cheated. The ref was calling stop 3 times, Reid turns to the ref and as hes facing the ref Lacy turns to Reid and lets rip with a huge right hook that smashes in to Reids chin. Reid looks back at Lacy then delayed, goes down on a knee then the ref deducts a pount from Reid for usng the head but says fuck all to Lacy for punching when he had called both to stop.

Mayweather got shit for hitting Ortiz but the ref hadnt called stop.

Reid also gave Magee his first loss in Magees backyard dropping him 4 times.

I say that Groves is being massively over rated now because of Froch looking shit in the first fight. Groves chin will haunt him against any punchers and Reid was a puncher.

Ross, are you a Reid fan? lol

[Silkeyjoe]

In fairness Ross is right on a lot of points. Groves could be very overrated. His problem is he is so biased to fighters that he fails to see any argument for the other side.

groves could be overrated, he could have a chinny problem theres no doubt


but Reid did blow hot and cold even in his pomp


ross mentions a win over brian magee as a big point in his career, but I watched that fight and magee went down a few times but I think all the knockdowns were in the first couple of rounds, it went the distance tho and it was a close fight, the knockdowns made a big difference


I don't really see groves struggling with magee like that

Froch struggled with him. He stopped him but Magee caused him problems.

yep magee fought very well, a close fight until the stoppage


styles make fights tho, don't they?


is froch the type of fighter that dominates fights against boxers?


he definitely didn't dominate either time against groves

Yes

I thought he was brilliant! I loved his attitude and the fact he could take a shot and had power.

He wasn't the greatest but was very good and anyone who wanted to mix it he made for a good fight. Even the Lacy fight he showed glimpses of what he could have done after a few rounds and he warmed up. His problem around this time was inactivity. When he fought Froch, a year or so before he beat Jesse Brinkley after another long lay off. He was then sanctioned or whatever its called to fight the also come backing Glen Catley as an eliminator for the british title that Froch had. Cately didn't want to know and retired rather than face Reid. So Reid missed out on a nice warm up fight. I dont believe he had the resilience and energy to beat Froch at that point but a warm up against Catley would have made him sharper and a lot more interesting fight against Froch.

Reid v Lacy, go to 5.20 in amd watch the blatant cheat by Lacy. Even the American commentators are disgusted by it and the refs actions to Reid. Listen till about a minute after the knockdown as they still mention it.

If you are going to get worked up about a fighter I can understand Tyson but not Robin Reid.

I just cant understand the ease with which some are pickng Groves at this point as a better fighter than Reid ever was when Groves has done nothing really but Reid was a world champion who pushed wo of the best super middles ever to disputed decisions.

As I have explained because he was at the right time and place to pick up a world title and fought Joe during his injury period.

Joe broke his hand on Reid during the fight!

Reid caused his hand problems by being so hard
