    It's no disagreement I am just playing Devils Advocate.
    No dude I don't mean Meldrick Taylor haha!
    I meant Froch against Jermain Taylor - how Froch kept going and took him out brutally in the final seconds. Froch was behind in that fight too.
    That was the guy Groves would have been facing if the ref didn't stop it, and there were still several rounds to go.

            Enjoy retirement champ, won the world title he always wanted and only lost to world champions. Some lovely scalps along the way in DeGale & Eubank Jnr.

                Yeah that was some punch. That was maybe even better because Sergio maneuvered his feet nimbly just before he threw it. Slick and then deadly.

                  Eubank Jr. isn't world level. He's 30 this year and will most likely never even win a world title.
                  Beating Chudinov is a more notable name on Groves's record.
                  Eubank was more notable because he was a hyped name and maybe even the favourite, im not sure. Degale was probably the best name, and he was riding very high at the time.Anderson was a good fighter too, and a good gut check for Groves. Im not saying he was the greatest, but he deserves some respect, he didnt avoid anyone, not too many beat Froch, and Smith is abit of a unit, could be number one at the weight for a while.

                    Like I said, I respect Groves. Eubank being **** is the point I was making. I actually forgot to mention the Degale win, that was a far better win than Eubank. Eubank hasn't even won a proper title, Degale is an IBF champion.
