George Groves is a very NICE young man

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

A mild surprise,

to look at him, you'd expect a horrid little hooligan. But I've seen him in conversation more lately and he has good manners and a nice, clean-cut personality out of the ring. I appreciate that kind of 'modest' quality in a boxer (as opposed to Ricky Hatton modest, which isn't remotely modest).



I liked to root against him before because of the whole Saint George promotional cack that has Nationalistic divs like 'John Locke' root for him.

But now I think I'll support him, for his agreeable manner and because I liked what he did in his last fight.

Yes he is a down to earth man..he acknowledges his mistakes from his previous fights and doesnt trash talk..and more importantly he comes to FIGHT

[S.G.]

He's definitely the most intelligent person on that Primetime panel tonight, although Barker seems alright too.

Duke, Abraham one of the best middleweights ever? Seriously?

Chunky is still >>>> Groves though.

I think DeGale will win, yeah. But maybe Groves' intangibles disprove that, I was impressed by his heart in his last fight.


I've met DeGale and he's a bit of a prat, although basically decent, and I prefer Groves on a personal-charm level. Hmmm.



Note that I don't typically buy into 'good guy' images for the sake of it...I'm a Mayweather fan, after all. I just like Groves' manner particularly, he's a certain type of clean-cut attitude that I appreciate (although, it's a shame about the dreadful ink he's defiled his skin with). And his style is definitely engaging.
