    I might be wrong here, but how can any one fighter be the 'A side' on a ****ing undercard fight?

    What a ****** argument to make.

    Like Khan saying he was a PPV fighter on Floyd's undercard...

      undercard fighters can bring in fans. floyd always wanted canelo on his undercard so that it would make him more money. floyd knows boxing and knows mexicans love boxing. thats why he always cherry picked mexican fighters(cept margarito who was a little too dangerous) he preferred to fight lesser fighters for less money than get that extra revenue from marg because losing would have killed or reduced the revenue stream he had. brilliant businessman.

        I totally get the concept of stacking an undercard but surely the only 'A side' is the guy headlining the main event?

        Groves and Murray are like the 'C and D side' lol.

        They should be arguing about that...

          when your career is in the dumpster i think you have to be a bit delusional or a lot delusional in their cases.

            He did though..

            That fight never sells out Wembley without Groves ability to hype the fight with his mouth as well as his performance in the first fight. Froch has zero charisma and there's a reason he could only fill out arenas in Nottingham until Groves came along.

              Funny how Groves will only really be remembered as the guy who Froch knocked out in front of 80k at Wembley stadium lol.

                Could George Groves get more deluded?

                He loves to say "all I do is tell the truth" but when people give him some home truths he doesn't want to hear it.

                Blaming the Jack loss in his trainer, shocking.

                  By blaming his loss to Jack on receiving the wrong instructions from the corner, Groves has just turned the lights out on his own portrayal of himself as an intelligent fighter.

                  Murray's a good honest professional. He's a credit to the sport. Whilst he might be showing signs of being battle worn I'm hoping he's got enough to impose his will on Groves down the stretch.

                    Groves thinks Murray is very good fighter? So I'm assuming groves thinks of himself as a great fighter?
                    Not sure groives qualifies for that on the basis of what he's done. Maybe grooves is a good fighter, or very good

                      He was good when he was getting under Degale and Froch's skin (1st fight), since then he is just trying really hard to come off clever yet this is the same mental midget who shut down his twitter account after Badou Jack.
