    I wouldn't put money on groves at all. Particularly not in jOakland.

      That is precisely why Ward called him...
      Ward has fought the very best at 168. Why not fight the guy many seem to think was robbed against Froch?

        Groves shouldnt be looking at Ward IMO. Too early for him. Go after Froch hard, beat him and go after Stieglitz and those guys before facing Ward. He's too much at the moment, too accomplished.

        After having watched the GG-Froch fight a near 20 times by now, I'm absolutely certain that Froch would lose a rematch and I don't think Froch is even confident of winning. After the fight, they admitted Groves had given him problems in sparring 3 years prior and they were wary of his threats.

        They'll steer clear of Groves I think. If he takes it, it will be Frochs last fight. He'll lose and say he just didn't have it anymore.

          GGG's fans kill me. It seems like every other week some fighter comes out saying they wanna fight this guy. Yet all they do is b!tch about nobody wanting to fight him.

            Groves needs to earn a shot at Stieglitz. He's avoided him once already.

            As for your comments on Froch, that's just Haye fanboy-ism coming to the fore.

              Agreed. He'll fight whoever as long as it's at home.

                Not a bad fight at all. I hope Groves takes it just to piss on Froch and the way he's avoiding a rematch

                  Aye, it'd have to be at a catchweight, unless GGG comes up to 168. Re. fighter's calling GGG out, both parties have expressed an interest in this fight. It'd be big, but not as big as a Groves rematch.

                    If you wouldn't put money on him at all than what would it matter where they fought, who promoted or who officiated?

                      Its funny because it's true. Ward should have rematched Kessler straight after the Super Six. He owed him for all of the clinching/butting/hometown refereeing.
