Comments Thread For: Groves: I Apologize To Froch, But He's in My Way!

Not strictly true. They may have similar game plans going into fights, but that's down to Adam Booth, who trains both. Groves, however, is always far more interested in mixing it toe to toe that Haye is, making him, IMO at least, the more exciting fighter of the two.

Yeah, I don't agree with the comparison either. Haye was far more explosive and fought that way- at Cruiser, he used his legs more and looked for moments to plant his feet. Groves tries to slip and roll punches more than Haye ever did, and Groves is far more hittable IMO but has a LOT of toughness.

£££ (or $$$), and it's not an 'if', it happened.

No he put him down he didnt drill him in 2 lol. Groves gave him hell as well according to people who were there.

but he's made some fan-demanded fights here and there- undefeated Hatton, Victor Ortiz, Robert Geurrero.

Nobody asked for the Guerrerro fight, Floyd single handedly manufactured the hype for that fight by offering us Alexander as an alternative.

Back on topic, I don't have a problem with Groves' ambition to fight Froch. He's not conducting himself in a bad way at all, he just needs a couple of wins against quality top 10 opposition. Personally I'd love to see him fight Stieglitz, I think it would be a cracking fight.

It seems it's a regular thing...

“Nobody else is going to take him *seriously until he has had a couple of fights with decent people and he stops getting knocked out in sparring, which seems to be happening quite regularly I’m hearing. - Carl Froch
