    [QUOTE=Bring It On;13585846]Allan Green was shajt and Cloud isn't all that either. That's right, Mack was his name.

    Listen, I'm not saying Froch has thought weak opposition, because he hasn't. Obviously much tougher than Groves.

    Only reason I even brought it up was because everybody always talks about how honest Froch is etc. Mack wasn't world class, Abraham wasn't world class at SMW etc.[/QUOTE]

    mack was a bum no doubt about it but abraham was good. he was a world champ that beat taylor and steiglitz. certainly better than anything jeff lacy ever did its just the division is much deeper right now.

      The fact that George Groves was a sparring partner for Carl Froch's last opponent should really tell you all you need to know.
      The only thing Groves has that could trouble Froch is his movement, but Froch will walk him down all night and if he traps him on the ropes it will be an early night.

        When I watch Groves, he doesn't seem comfortable or fluid fighting the style he's come to adopt.

        I think he's going to be in for a big shock when he's in there with a huge rise in class.

                Seems to me that Froch is showing a little bitterness from when he was in the same position with Calzaghe.

                  Agreed.

                  He's going with a bit of a knock-off David Haye style. Haye does it well because it's his natural style, but Groves doesn't look as comfortable and his defence concerns me. I still think Groves was fortunate to get the DeGale win fighting in the same style I expect him to try and use against Froch, that's not going to cut it.

                    you think lacy was better than abraham? why because joe calzaghe beat him? abraham has 2 top ten wins. lacy had one. abraham beat steiglitz who had 6 title defenses. lacy won a vacant belt against someone unranked. abraham was in a much deeper and tougher era and still had better accomplishments than lacy who was in a very weak era. if abraham was in the lacy/calzaghe era he would prob have 21 title defenses like calzaghe and ottke did lol.
