Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
this is the superman syndrome that froch currently has
groves more than has the power to hurt him and has the skills to stay away from a fight
this is exactly why i am thinking it could be good timing, not because froch is on the slide, because froch sees himself as unmoveable

Precisely why I made the bet with you rather than anyone else. I'd guess most on here would think Froch stops him inside the distance but I think Groves will box him and take a close decision. Just little things I've seen with Groves made me confident he had the tools. I'm less confident without Adam Booth though. I'm gunna stick with my prediction but one factor that had me convinced was how well Booth knows Carl Froch. I think parting company was a stupid move before a fight of this magnitude.
The Booth parting was a silly move and won't help him at all , really didn't understand that at all. Groves will be up for it but I just think it's a bit too early for the step up with someone of frochs experience. Similar to Alvarez-Mayweather in ways but Froch will get the stoppage.
Well Froch has proven his chin many a times so I don't think he has to worry about that. Johnson went 12 rounds with Groves and wasn't really hurt at a all. He got outboxed but he never looked like he was in real danger. Froch is miles better than Johnson though and a heck of a lot busier. Froch has knocked down Groves in sparring and knows what he has to do.
all adds to the untouchable situation
by the way, from what i saw groves hurt johnson a lot more than froch did, i know its hard to compare the two fights because johnson seemed to have been in a lot better shape against froch, and was still ambitious
froch has been wobbled in a frew fights too, he isnt indestructable

Yeah cos Froch softened up Johnson for Groves. The Johnson who fought Froch was better than that Johnson who turned up against Groves. Johnson just turned up against Groves, he wasn't there to win at all. He was well past his best by then. Groves apart from Johnson and Degale hasn't fought anybody and Froch has a much better resume. That inexperience at the world level is what will cost Groves the fight, he's still learning his trade IMO.
Well, looks like I started a good thread here! Am really looking forward to the fight, may well go, last fight I attended was Haye-Vlad. Good luck to whoever wins, my betting head says close Groves because he really has improved so much. Glen Johnson is a good guide, Calzaghe bottled out of fighting him with a 'bad back' (but we all know the real story). Johnson is quality, I watched him fight Clinton 3 times and get robbed.
Shows how much you know.
Froch won bronze at the world amateur championships in 2001 which is arguably harder than the olympics.
Forget their ages, its the time scales. Froch was a pro for 5 years before he faced anyone that had been anywhere near world level. De Gale has face fighters that have been in world class company and even faced ex world champion. In February DeGale will also have abeen a pro 5 years but he would also have faced far better oposition than Froch did who looked as if he was going nowhere and in no rush either.

Froch has since proved he is a world class warrior , DeGale will not because he is garbage.
