    The terrible stoppage and overall officiating isnt Froch's fault.

    That being said he should run it back based on the fight alone, forget the stoppage.

      It will be a duck for sure. Froch really has to give him a rematch, he was Mr popular and now all his fan's have jumped on the Groves bandwagon!lol. Brilliant. The switch in the crowd on saturday night was something i've never seen in a boxing ring before.















      I've never liked Froch, although i do admire his toughness.I have been a Groves fan for quite a while, I knew he would give Froch big problems.

        Groves is THE fight. Not even beating Ward will redeem him, not in the British public's eye. Honestly, Ward is top. 5 p4p, and it would send massive shock waves through out the boxing community, but the Groves fight has got everyone in Britain, even non boxing fans crying out for the rematch. That's the only fight that matters to them, beating an unknown American, no matter how good Ward is, won't redeem him.

        Besides, there's the small matter that he won't beat Ward, he just won't.

            When birds who have never watched boxing start talking about a rematch, that's when you know its a huge fight

              It all depends on who he would fight instead..

                If he doesn't fight Groves he'll completely lose the backing that he's picked up from outside of boxing's core and it'll be seen as a duck.

                Core or not, other than Froch himself, who would really be interested in a Ward rematch? I wouldn't. Non core fans would disappear. We'd be largely indifferent but wouldn't hold it against him.

                Chavez Jr. stinks the place out. Only his most staunch fans would attempt to justify it and they would be the only fans he has left.

                However, If he signed to fight GGG he'd lose non-core fans but lets face it, we'd be all over that like a rash.

                  Yes, he's the BIGGEST disgrace in boxing?

                    If he ducks Groves, he loses a lot of credibility. In fact, it would damage his legacy considerably. We're talking Lennox ducking Vitali proportions.

                      unless he fights ward, hopkins, ggg, kovolev, stevenson, or retires, then yes its a duck,,

                      If he goes for groves rematch ASAP i will be very impressed with froch, a true warrior
