GGG has become one of those semi-mythical gym legends kinda like Pacquaio and James Toney. With all the gym tales of beating up this guy or beating up that guy.
And here's another where he claims that a currently top 5 super middleweight can't punch. Another is where he made a guy that's currently the top rated light heavyweight in the world quit. And that's why its even more mind boggling that he won't move up in weight. Especially with the situation he currently finds himself in in regards to his next fight.
He did say that it was groves first week of sparring (maybe even training) and was too big and too slow so that might of had something to do with it. Also abel also said that kovalev was barely coming up when they sparred which is why he's impressed with how jdj has improved kovalev. Lastly why move up when he has a shot at canelo and getting the exposure he deserves?
When he was coming up he was known to be heavy handed. He also dropped Froch and hurt him a few other times too. So i think he has power, maybe his technique hasn't progressed or more likely its gone backwards.
Anyway, Groves who turned up to the first Froch fight gives anybody hell. I dont think Froch just underestimated him, Groves was on point that night. Maybe that Groves doesn't exist anymore after the losses, or he was a one night wonder.
We'll see what he has left with his new team. He's still pretty young and has shown he has talent.
If he handled Groves easily just imagine what he'd do to DeGale, omg wow!
168lbs could indeed be very, very, very easy work for GGG now that Ward has ran away up to 175lbs to avoid the beast from the East.

Wasn't aware that it was a rule stating that GGG couldn't move up in Apr, then come back to middleweight and fight Canelo in Sept. Thanx fot clearing that up for me.

please, gtfoh with that. As soon as he moves up to smw even for one fight then that'll be the excuse gb would say for canelo not to fight ggg. But please tell me what viable/realistic options ggg has for april at smw.
