I just rewatched that fight and even though I don't think it physically had any permenant damage on Groves, mentally that was a huge crushing defeat.
After all the build up, trash talking and the push and a pull handshake, to lose like that in front of 80 thousand at Wembley surely must have a lasting effect.
Two stoppage losses to his rival and then later losing to Badou Jack the Ripper in Vegas. 0-3 in world title fights seems harsh for what once was a talented prospect....id like to see Groves at world level again but not sure he'll ever overcome being Cobra'd.
