    -Never gave Degale a rematch.
    - Kenny Anderson retired after beating Robin Reid after Groves was injured
    - He was stripped of the british title
    - true
    - Was never offered a rematch. DeGale was injured and then jumped ship to Mick Hennesey making a rematch damn near impossible.

      Froch has earned respect. He deserves no less.
      British and commonwealth....

      No I'm with you. Of course Froch deserves as much respect as anyone in the game. In fact, I'm struggling to think of anyone who's fought as many top rated contenders in their division as Froch since 2008.

        Froch was a bronze medalist at the World Amateur Championships.

        Third in the World > National Champion.

          I was joking. Btw, Froch was never ranked #3 in the world.

            Bernard Hopkins plays "mind games" and then dominates his opponents, this guy sc****s through by the skin of his teeth and thinks he's a genius.

            Him and Adam Booth were lauded to the high heavens for their "tactical master class" against DeGale which was basically Groves running around and feinting all night - a similarly tedious display as the one that Gaye put on against Valeuv. Stealing a fight by 1 point in a controversial decision = a master class apparently.

            He did well for 6 or 7 rounds against Froch and then started blowing out of his arse before getting stopped. His face was a mess afterwards he acts as if he was in complete control until that one moment at the end.
            that really annoys me as well. he keeps saying he dominated the whole fight and froch had one moment at which point the fight was instantly stopped.

            he dominated early and he did well at times late, but the tide was shifting. is he dumb enough to think people didnt see that? froch didnt just have "a moment" either, he had groves badly hurt. it wasnt enough to stop the fight but it was more than a small moment as groves likes to portray it.

              So still waiting for you to show me where he says he doesn't want the rematch.

              Aren't you a journalist? You aren't supposed to twist people's words and misquote them.

                I'm struggling aswell, think Froch has fought 8.

                Mayweather's fought 6, Mares has fought quite a few, can't really think of many others.

                  Manny pacquiao might be another, depending on what you count as "top contenders", but obviously it's easier when you move up and down different divisions.

                      He's a horrible little prick, who thinks he's a london gangster. It's not beyond George to have his 'friends' threaten people and their families.
