I think it's going to be a fight than some are predicting. On the one hand, Froch has always had the most bother with boxers, and Groves looked pretty polished in his last fight - he's really improved since fighting De Gale. On the other hand, there is still a slight question mark over his chin (after the scare vs Anderson), and at some point he'll be liable to be tagged hard by Froch - I can't see him outboxing him for the whole 12 rounds at this stage in his career, so when (and I believe it is when, not if) Froch drags him into deep water, then we'll see how good he's really become. So, having said all this, I would agree with most others, and predict a Froch win by stoppage in the last few rounds, but Groves coming out of it with a lot of credit for his performance.
Welterweight tournament
Floyd Mayweather would shit a brick at the thought of a super-six style tourney. Too many risks for the insurance man of boxing.
first off when does white boy become a racist word??? i know of several rappers that call them self whiteboy!! and oh by the way they are white! I'm becoming more convinced that these are not just boxing fans on this site but actual boxers because some of you sound punch drunk !!! because hopkins said that he is a racist?? - did he call Calzaghe a honkey? a peckerwood? or a white devil?? " i ain't never losing to no honkey/devil" now that my friends would constitute him as being a racist, and my black ass would not support Bhop any longer - boxing unites nations, races, and creeds!! period! And next time someone quotes me, have your parents read my shyt before you post! "because hopkins said that it is absolute so he is racist"? you sound stupid as hell.... whiteboy ain't a racist word - what is absolute about whiteboy??? mexicanboy / puertorican boy / blackboy etc...
You're missing the point completely - it's not the specific word he used, it's the fact that he used the race at all. It suggests he believes he is better than any white man. Which for the record i don't think he does believe, nor do i think he's racist - he was just trying to sell the fight because he's a shrewd businessman. But he should still know better than to try and play on racial divisions, since we've had enough problems with that kind of thing to last many lifetimes
