    Why would a fight against an unknown George Groves make sense to a guy who'd just got the two biggest wins of his career and was now a bonafide PPV fighter?



    Don't you think he could have fought a much bigger name?

      Yeah, I'm not that interested in winning, I just wanted to see if he had a valid point to enlighten me further. He doesn't.

        First time that sentence has ever been uttered in human history.

          It doesn't matter what you or I think about his motivations. The fact is, Froch wasn't prepared to give up the belt at that point in his career. Now he is... which was my original point.

            The point is he could have but he chose not to. Froch chose not to give up the belt., He chose to give Groves the fight when he didn't have to and that deserves credit. And it's what Calzaghe didn't do for him.

              He chose to retain the belt and therefore had to fight his mandatory.

                This still going on?

                Calzaghe didn't fight his mandatory (Froch, unknown domestic fighter)

                Froch did. (Groves, unknown domestic fighter)

                How can it be made any more simple?

                  You're pretty thick headed aren't you? The point is that Froch did what Calzaghe didn't. He gave a young fighter a shot when he didn't have to, there were bigger money fights available to him than Groves.

                    I don't know why anyone would want to see Bernard Hopkins. That fight wouldn't even make it to Vegas.
                    Hopkins is a greater opponent, as is GGG, as is even DeGale or Ward II or Stevenson or Pascal II or Kovalev...what has Chavez Jr done since get battered for 11.5 rounds against Martinez?
