There's nothing cooler then the icing he gave grovesy boy.

1. Groves beat the empty husk of Johnson who was on a nasty losing downward spiral since froch beat him that was only gaining more downward momentum by the time groves got there.

2. Well we do know for sure, that was the whole reason for Froch-Groves II, to find out if the KO was a legit and the second fight showed it was.

1. Johnson hadn't deteriorated that much within 18 months, it wasn't like 5 years had passed, there was only an 18 month gap between the Froch fight and the Groves fight. Johnson lost to Froch, Bute, Fonfara and Groves all in a row - but they're all very good boxers. I'd say Groves fought roughly the same version of Johnson that Froch did - unless Johnson took him lightly and didn't prepare.

2. No we don't know for sure what would have happened in the first fight. You are arguing a position now that you surely know isn't true. How many times did Marquez KO Pacquiao in the 4 fights? Each fight is different and can have a different result. Groves might have survived Froch in the first fight and won a close decision or he might have been knocked out again, as I said we don't know for sure. Just look at all the various rematches in boxing history that had very different results between them to demonstrate that the rematch isn't a mirror image of the first fight.

Here's some examples:

Williams vs Quintana 1: Quintana wins by decision
Williams vs Quintana 2: Williams wins by KO

Stiverne vs Arreola 1: Stiverne wins by decision
Stiverne vs Arreola 2: Stiverne wins by KO

Pacquiao vs Morales 1: Morales wins by decision
Pacquiao vs Morales 2: Pacquiao wins by KO

Alvarado vs Rios 1: Rios wins by KO
Alvarado vs Rios 2: Alvarado wins by decision

The list is endless..
