    Degale rematch. There's a chance it could happen because Groves might now find himself in the unfortunate position of being an avoided contender. The Degale fight might turn out to be the biggest money fight available to him.

        Honestly I can't see the Groves that fought Froch having any problems with anybody else in the division except for Ward and Froch himself in a rematch. I think he blows through Kessler, DeGale, Brandon Gonzales, Stigletz, any other fringe contenders without much of a problem. I would like to see him go after a belt, Hearn should put the money up for Stigletz to come to the UK.

          You know what they say, styles make fights. Froch's style and speed is easier for faster, more technical fighters to deal with - at least for the first two thirds of the fight. Taylor was ahead on the scorecards, if Froch hadn't got that last minute KO in the 12th round Taylor would have won.

          Dirrell arguably beat Froch but he was fighting away from so it was unlikely he'd win a decision - although one of the judges did have Dirrell as the winner.

          I guess my point is that Groves did look very good against Froch but so have other fighters. And Froch didn't look like his normal self so it's debatable whether Groves actually fought the best version of Froch, as seen in the Super 6, or an older, battle-worn, deteriorated version.

            How does he even deserve a Froch rematch?

            He was stopped after taking a beating for the last 2 rounds.

            This wasn't a lucky punch KO or a close decision that went against him.

              Best thing for him to do.

              Sign for Eddie Hearn.

              Get Eddie to pay stiegletz to come over, and get his belt off him

              Promote Froch v Groves 2 as "champion vs champion" get 50/50

              winner fights ward
