    Has George Groves been Cobra'd?

    He looked awful in his last fight. This guy was being touted as the next big thing at SMW.

    Has Froch took his soul like he did to Bute? Or can Groves come back and become a world champion?

    I still think he has the talent to beat Anthony Dirrell.

    He is what I thought he is. Decent. He's a good boxer, but that's it. There's intangibles that separates great boxers like Froch, from good boxers like Groves.

      Let's just wait and see what he looks like in his next fight. Anthony Dirrell beats any version of Groves tho.

        Well I thought he looked decent myself, but of course that is subjective.

        Really? By who?

        I dont think Bute was ever that good actually, and if you wanna play these games, then I reckon a stronger case can be made of his soul was already taken by Andrade.

        Or can Groves come back and become a world champion?

        I also think he has a good shot at beating Dirrell. Venue will be of importance though.

          How could you possibly argue his soul was taken by Andrade?

          Groves looked terrible against Momma's Boy.

            PEDS are tangible.

            Groves ruined his career by getting ****y and admiring his handiwork against Froch on the first fight.

            He was schooling Froch, and if he stuck to the way he was fighting would've cruised to a unanimous decision.

            Those two KOs took it out of him. He was looking great before that. He should've destroyed Froch.

              He made the biggest mistake when he split with Booth. He is not half the fighter he might have been.

              Being KOed by Carl just add to that.. He would get beat by James in the rematch.

                  Since he was totally exhausted, out on his feet and saved by the referee. How could you possibly have missed that?

                    Well part of those intangibles are not deturing from the game plan. Clearly Groves can't stick to the gameplan. Sort of like Bradley.
