Comments Thread For: Carl Froch: I'm Certainly Not Moving Up, No Stevenson

[HtotheZ]

Smart choice for Froch imo, especially at this point in his career

If Groves was able to put him on the floor just imagine what Stevenson would do

[MC Hammer]

NOW Stevenson has really no way to turn, look in front of you pimp... there's Kovalev. No excuse now not fight him.

Pascal/Bute winner all day. Kovlev brings a belt but no bread.

Stevenson said he would come down to 168 for a Froch fight. He's a career super middleweight after all.

Stevenson's team said no shortly after that. I don't think he fights at 168 ever again.

I agree, and Kovalev will KO him out.....

Froch ur nothing but an amature fighter and a p ussy. U got lucky against groves and u were given a boxing lesson. Ain't no way you ll be fighting groves again. Yeah go fight someone u else u p ussy

[handsome1-1]

Think froch should be thinking of retiring after being flattened himself by groves. The whole country knows it, he s full of sh ite and a p ussy

No one cares about that. Yanks have probably never seen that fight or the Kenny Anderson one.

Everyone is on the Groves bandwagon now without realising how hypocritical they are.

This Yank has. I, for one, don't blame Froch for not moving up. People are too quick to dog a fighter for wanting to stick with a weight class they feel they are the best physically suited for. I feel the same way about Ward, and him not wanting to move up yet.

In regards to Groves though, it is going to be a very bad tarnish of his warrior image if he doesn't rematch Groves because LOTS of boxing fans are calling for it, since the stoppage was premature.

I don't understand why he wouldn't. He'd probably make a good amount of coin for a domestic rematch/grudge match with Groves, and I think Froch would stop him the second go round, personally.

this dude needs a pr guy or he needs to shut up already. he's all but lost that "great warrior" mystic. smelling like straight pu$$y now

[l1ght]

It's pretty obvious why Froch doesn't want to give Groves the rematch and anybody with an ounce of common sense can see why. It's because he really doesn't like Groves and he really doesn't want to aid in Groves's status in the boxing world or give him another big pay day. It's personal between the 2 of them, Groves needs Froch to further his career, Froch absolutely does not need Groves to further his career. At 36 years old and still an elite fighter the smart move is to cash in with a couple of big fights in Vegas before he retires.
As for Groves deserving a rematch? He had is chance and couldn't finish Carl off. He then put himself in a position where the ref thought he couldn't take any more damage.
Dana White always has a saying for people who want to succeed in the UFC....."never leave it in the hands of the judges". The only person George can blame is himself for not capitalising when Carl was hurt and also for not being conditioned enough to get stronger in the latter rounds instead of getting weaker while Carl got stronger. He was saved from getting KTFO.
