Comments Thread For: Froch Rejects Groves: Did He Give DeGale a Rematch!

[D-MiZe]

Starting to lose respect for Froch, he just comes across as a big warrior bitch. Sure, he trades in the ring and puts on a spectacle, doesn't shut up about his 'warrior' code though and pulls stunts like this.

He seems to be a likeable guy until something goes against him and he moans, whines and cries. This is a guy who couldn't take Calzaghe's name out of his mouth, I bet he would've given his left bollock to get into the ring with the Welshman at that time, however inexperience he was.

Could you imagine the furore if Calzaghe stopped Froch via Britain when Froch was leading on points?

Those citing DeGale-Groves are dumb, why would you piss away a multi-million pound series of fights when both are still novices? They'll meet again and most likely another time after that.

Kenny Anderson?! Really?

Where was the call for Froch to rematch Taylor? A fight in which he was losing and got very fortunate in the 12th. As I recall, Abraham battered him and it was brushed under the carpet. What about Andre Dirrell? Froch isn't perfect himself but I don't ever recall Groves whining like a bitch.

Froch should have given Dirrel and Pascal rematches too with this logic lol

Groves v Froch 2 is the biggest fight in the UK and one of the biggest world wide and needs to happen, especially considering the nature of the stoppage.

Froch's stock continues to plummet.

The DeGale rematch will happen when the time's right.

The time for a Froch Groves rematch is NOW.

I really don't care for a rematch and am liking the fact that Froch is pointing out Groves hypocrisy here.

Have you actually watched the Groves-Anderson fight? Awful stoppage and about as bad as the Froch-Groves stoppage. Anderson deserves a rematch as much as Groves does, even if it doesn't make as much sense financially.

The reason there wasn't any calls for a Froch-Taylor rematch is A) Taylor didn't desperately want it and B) they were both in the Super Six tournament, so there was a chance it would happen there. Also, there wasn't anything dodgy about that fight, Froch just managed to get him late. No squeaky tight decision or dodgy stoppage.

Abraham battered him? Are you serious? Do you watch boxing, or just comment on it?

As for the Dirrell rematch, Froch couldn't give it immediately thanks to the Super Six, even if he wanted to. Would you say Dirrell is in a place to get a rematch now?

Froch should give Groves a rematch for three reasons:

1. It makes sense financially
2. The stoppage was dodgy
3. Groves deserves it

Froch does make a good point though, about Groves being a hypocrite. This fight is going to happen anyway, this is just hype.

No one Wanted Degale Rematch!!!

Oh dear Carl what a let down , I don't know what people are telling you mate but HERE in Nottingham our home town you have only one choice: a Groves rematch....or retire and if you did retire no one would think any less of you as Groves gave you hell and we can now see why you don't want anything to do with him, otherwise why on earth would you turn your back on being part of one of the biggest rematches in British fight history.
You must know or Eddy or someone must have told you on all accounts it would outdo ALL other rematches!! Rob M. has obviously advised you otherwise and I think you know like we all know George has got your number....nothing wrong with that, every dog has his day fight Groves or retire, nothing else will do, your legacy is written on paper but the truth is in our minds ...C'mon Carl fight him he's got a very bad shake , it's the only fight we all want to see...MAKE NOTTINGHAM PROUD, there might even be a trilogy!!!

[yoz]

Hahahaha, awaits the Haye fan boys...

Groves against Degale went the full distance he won on the score cards it may have been close but no controversial with Froch the ending was controversial - Froch knows he will lose the rematch and know's when he loses the 2nd fight it would show the ref gifted him the first fight he won't man up to this. Anyway George is the people's champ and Froch can't change that.

[SthPaw]

I think Froch has a bit of a point, BUT he needs to bare in mind the past controversies on his behalf that people cried out about, the Dirrel fight for example...I don't want to go so far as to accuse him of ducking a guy he has beaten, and I do believe that people in time will get over all this, but for now his stock will fall as the people DO actually want this fight, even Hearn wants it doesn't he?
I like Froch in the ring, but outside of it he is a prick at times (that post fight interview...) He has the warrior image that he likes to remind us all about so why not just get back out there and shut everyone up?
