    Who is Groves's best win? retired Johnson? DeGale?

    Maybe they're better wins than Cleverly's equivalent wins at 175 but in the ring do you think Groves beats Cleverly?

    I dislike the way Hearn is trying to push Groves-Froch on the public and I think he's over-estimating the interest in an immediate Froch-Kessler rematch.

    Ward is probably the fight but I don't want to see it either tbh. Saw it already and Froch lost handily, I don't see a rematch being much different regardless of where it is held.

    I'm probably on my own in this but I'd prefer to watch Cleverly, Stieglitz, Oosthuizen and even Hopkins ahead of the "rematches" and I'd rather the DeGale fight over Groves, just my own preference though.

      I'm not necessarily saying Groves beats him head to head but it's not like he's a complete bum. In my view Degale and maybe even Johnson are better than any of Cleverley's opponents thus far, unless you count Bellew as some world beater.

        The awkward moment when a supporter of a team in the Championship tries to say a team in the Champions League is insignificant.....

          We are a big fish in a small pool you are a small fish in a big pool. Arsenal shout so much about being in the Champions League but over the years all you've done is regressed and you will never ever win the Champions League. Every year we hear "this year Arsenal will challenge for the title all we need is to buy X, Y and Z and we've got a title challenging squad". What actually happens is you sell your best players and buy mediocre players. By mid-season you are in the scrap for top 4 again. Top 4 is like a ****ing title now for Arsenal lol. You underpay top players and overpay **** players. I don't think Arsenal will ever be a top club again. Say what you want about Leicester but our supporters are true supporters mostly. At an Arsenal ground you find so many people who aren't true supporters it's ridiculous.

              Well Arsenal built a new stadium and managed the debt for 8 years whilst staying in the top 4 in the Premier League.

              Leicester City built a new stadium and.....oh.....oh no.....

                I'm going to come out and say it. Froch is a bit of a cunt, and if anyone else said what he's being saying of late they'd be lambasted for it. He's riding off his limited success in the Super Middleweight tournament, and his previous underdog status, too much.

                  Well at least we've got realistic aspirations such as being promoted. Arsenal are a perpetual top 4 team at best. They may even fall out of that if they're not careful.

                      Okay, but who do you feel is the tougher opponent (in the ring) for Froch?

                      I see him cutting through Groves, and while he likely beats Cleverly I think it's the tougher assignment of the two.
