    Now's as good a time as any for Groves to crawl back to Booth, with whom he belongs. Since he left Booth, we've seen none of his feints, head movement or explosive power that he had up until the first half of the first Froch fight. Either he fell in love with his power to ditch those feints, or something else happened. Regardless, I'm very sure Booth would get him back to winning ways again.

    I'll admit Groves' fall from grace has been laughable, but I'm over it now. For the rest of this year and 2016 I want to see him grafting at British/Euro level, and maybe salvage that DeGale rematch one day if he manages to get a fourth crack at a world title. Groves is too talented to be wasting away with trainers who don't exploit his natural style.
    Leaving Booth seemed like a ****** decision at the time and it has proven to be the case.

    I'm not quite sure what Gavin has been doing with Groves but it's resulted in a far less effective fighter. He has regressed in basically every area which ultimately suggests Gavin is not a very good trainer.

      You told your boxer he was minutes away from winning the title. That's Un acceptable.

      All the same George needs to learn some respect. He's viewed somewhat badly by Degale, Booth, Froch. He's now disrespected Fitzpatrick by not even talking to him despite both travelling back to the UK and him being his saviour.

      He's lost a lot of fans like me too.

        What did Groves achieve under Booth exactly? A gift decision over DeGale when they are both novices?

        People are overrating the hell out of Booth

                Grooves is fun to watch and a good talent I just think he had bad guidance from his trainer. He needs someone that is gonna lite that fire in him, george falls asleep in fights and gives rounds away.

                He needs to up his work rate and he will be winning these fights.

                  Paddy is an egotistical arrogant twat, who believes he has the fight won from the opening bell. Groves lost all of that aggression in froch2 and the jack fight.
                  Groves should stick Froch in his corner, just to get himself wound up.
