    i would think the opposite stateside. i believe alot of people watch his fights on youtube and other sites.

      Nobody will forget Carl Froch, and George Groves will always be known as the guy Carl Froch annihilated with one punch.

      Groves was always a tad delusional, but that right hand from Froch has pushed him to Amir Khan level delusional.

          That said, he won't be forgotten here by boxing fans because he's going to be on Sky Sports as a boxing pundit every weekend.
          He crossed over in so much as the vast majority who follow sports also knew who Froch was, and thats the perfect group you want to be interested in your fights.

          You are right though he was never a huge star that housewives and kids would recognise.

            What a shot!! Lovely

            BTW get that glass jawed fraud donkey out of your avi. Beyonce Wilder is one of the biggest disgraces in boxing history and will be shown up as the ******, cherry-picking bambi-on-ice hooker strangling disgrace he is soon enough!

              Watching Ugly Kid get flattened was one of my most satisfying moments in all the time I've watched boxing. I'll never forget it.

              Can't wait for DeGale to do it again next year.

                Is it safe to say that Froch needs a tabloid ******* scandal to become a British household name.

                    Why didn't James DeGale KO him?
                    Oh that's right because e got took to school by his master, winning a gold in the Olympics doesn't go for **** If you're an overrated fighter he was lucky against Andre.

                      Groves ran around and got gifted a decision by sympathetic judges who felt sorry for the little ginger runt after DeGale bullied him in the build-up.

                      Refused the rematch repeatedly. Hopefully he doesn't do a "Khan" and duck the fight at Wembley next year.
