Comments Thread For: Froch: I Knew Groves Was Jealous After My Bute Win

[IronDanHamza]

Froch had some kind of issue before that, he's been very hostile to Groves right from the outset.

He's had this same dismissive attitude for a while that's why. Downplaying what he's done.

Before the fight was signed.

I think even Ward was a bit jealous after that win. It was HUGE

Groves can try box like Dirrell all he wants, hes not that fleet-footed, that fast or a southpaw. He is noway near as skilled as Andre Dirrell but I see the reference in that hes probably going to be negative and stink out the joint.

Expecting a cautious Groves who is going to find Froch's jab a lot harder to deal with than he anticipates. I think hes going to be negative & box cautiously off the backfoot. He will soon realise this is no defensive counterpuncher fighting on the front-foot in James DeFail.
He'll have success early on but get clipped with something probably a right hand over that lazy as hell left and its all downhill from there as far as I am concerned. From what I've seen his chin isn't good & he does not recover well or have good survival instincts. Man vs boy
Froch will bulldoze him.

Yeah I saw it. He wasn't being as dismissive as usual but he was still being disrespectful.

He was saying Jody Morris "he lost to Dirrell, lost to Ward, struggled with Johnson. Oh yeah beat Abraham, lost to Kessler. So not really impressive really"

He even tried to downplay the guys willingness to fight anyone and anywhere by saying "he had no choice"

This was all on Beyond The Ropes which was apparently him being respectful

Carl had reason to be angry because he was mandatory and Calzaghe would barely adkowledge him and wouldn't fight him so of course that's going to annoy him personally.

Froch has given Groves this opportunity, he didn't have to.

Ok but he did lose to Kessler, and did struggle against Dirrell and Johnson...

I didn't see the part where he said Froch doesn't fight anyone, if you could find it that'd be great cause i def missed that point, and if Groves said that he is wrong.

OK... So Carl is allowed to be angry at Joe for not acknowledging him, but when Carl is sitting right next to George it's ok for him to point blank ignore him and never answer any questions?

And if Froch wanted to keep his title (Which he did) Groves was his mandatory.

Froch and Pacquiao by stoppage Dan? I think so.

Yeah most definitely. I think Froch around mid-point and a part of me thinks Manny could have Rios out early. The weight, never having fought a southpaw, being made too order. If Manny is at 50% for me he drills Rios.

I think Groves has rattled Froch.

No he didn't struggle with Johnson #1. And #2 it's the way he's saying it, he's saying it a dissmissive way.

I didn't say he said that, I said he said that he had no choice but to fight who he fought again downplaying what he's done. Froch has travalled the world and fought everyone, any place, any time.

Not really the same is it because George has already acted the way he has to make Froch act in that manner.

haha so everyone is supposed to bow down to mighty froch? he is still very bitter about other brits getting famous quick while it took him years

I keep seeing this. That Groves should take Dirrell's approach.

Groves isn't Dirrell.
