I don't need to know who he has beaten to acknowledge he's a pretty crafty and at times technically sound 168 lb fighter, you can tell he's one of the better fighters in that division from a skill-set stand point.
But unfortunately it's the intangibles that he lacks that lost him both fights with Froch. And being a bit fragile is at the top of the list.

He isn't a proven world-beater. He's a young guy who surprised an established champion in their first meeting, would probably be considered good looking by most standards (and definitely by ugly ass boxing standards), was previously undefeated, controversial endings, domestic rivalry, etc. All the makings of a big rematch.
It was more the potential he had of becoming a big star in a strong division if he won this fight.
Now that he lost that momentum people will suddenly look at his resume and realize he has a ways to go.

george groves is a decent fighter. he might make something out of himself in the future but as of right now he isn't considered a great fighter or top quality.

And no shame in losing to Carl Froch, the guy is a nightmare at the Super Middle Weight division for anybody not named Andre Ward.
