    How long before George Groves gets really annoying?

    Right now his popularity is high because his two highest profile opponents have made utter twats of themselves.

    But...

    Groves has that weird smugness about him, having been around Haye and Booth a lot, you can see he's from that cloth.

    I can see him getting worse over time, i honestly predict by the end of the year everyone will turn on him. It could happen sooner if he rematches and loses to froch.

    He's already annoying. So is Froch. and Khan, Haye, DeGale.. pretty much any fighter in the UK who've 'made it' to a certain stage.

    The only fighters in the UK who fights at world level and are not annoying are Ricky Burns and Darren Barker. Both are absolutely class and down to earth.

        Can't stand that pair, but I have to say I don't really mind Groves so much. lol @ "weird smugness", that's a pretty good description.

        Those two would have been annoying regardless, a conman and an imbecile.

              Haye was a cool, down to earth guy up until the Valuev fight. When I worked at the Daily Star we did a sitdown with him before the Mormeck fight when he was a relative unknown to the general public and he was a pretty cool guy.

              Never really met degale, so couldn't say too much about him, but he seems alright when he's not scheduled to fight anyone.
