Its still Froch for me,Groves is a big puncher but will he still be stopping fighters so often when he,s at Carl,s level? I dont think so

Carl,s KO,s have dwindled since he,s been at World Championship level which is fairly predictable really and i would assume that George will be hearing final bell more frequently also

In answer to the poll, i think george hits harder. In terms of who wins this fight it's more a question of who can take the others punches better because i think they're both going to land at some point. Hope I'm wrong but I think froch will stand up to George's best shots and stop him late. I'm going to this and I'm excited but nervous already :box:

This is where I'm at too.

You have somebody who has stopped people at world level and somebody who hasn't.

Has Froch stopped anyone at world level who hasn't been stopped before? He stops known fragile fighters.

And we all know Bute was saved a KO defeat by his mate the REF in a previous fight against a fringe contender in Andrade.

Taylor,fragile and we all know it..stopped at Middle and SM.
Mack..Stopped most likely on his way to the the dry cleaners.
Anyone else?
So Froch has stopped people at world level then.

Who has Groves stopped? Reel off his murderers row for me.

Ha me too ! GGG is número uno for me - as Stevens will find out tonight.

But Groves is a World class hitter too, one punch is harder than Carl for my money, Froch is massively heavy handed tho

I am quite sure GG would stop those guys. GG had Glen Johnson in more trouble that anyne snce Hopkins, imo.

The thing is...WE DON'T NOW ABOUT GG, BUT THE BUTURES FRIGHT!!
But he hasn't stopped those guys.

And neither does Froch....hence the worried look!

Froch is an open book, GG is not.

Fonfara had Johnson closer to being gone in round 12 of their fight.

Froch looks stiff and crude at times and yet fluid at others. His one punch that dropped McGee (not Eamon, the other one!) was a good example, because Brian Mcgee is a good fighter.

They are talking about George Groves mate, though to be honest the thread would make more sense if it was Golovkin.

V. Good! :TU:

When Groves hits Froch nothing much will happen.
When Froch hits Groves something will happen. I don't think Groves can run for 12 rounds. He's been wobbled a couple of times by fighters such as Anderson & Smith. Late Froch stoppage for me.

Yeah would be easier if people took the extra couple of seconds to actually type out names! Especially ones as simple as George Groves!

Groves seems to have more one punch knockout power but this hasn't been tested at the highest level. Froch has a stiff jab and very heavy hands when he charges forward. He could catch Groves, stun him and finish the job. Not sure if Groves could stop Froch unless he throws a perfect punch.

Also I've noticed a few posters on here just down playing everything Froch has done. I understand not everyone likes him but he fights the best and has only ever been outclassed by Ward who is widely regarded P4P no.2. He held the Lonsdale belt outright (A great achievement in most people's eyes), he's 3 time world champion in a very tough division, he's fought overseas a reasonable amount (6 times at 4-2) and has given us some great, exciting fights (Kessler 1 & 2, Bute, Taylor, Abraham). Surely we should be happy to have such a British fighter in our era???

More sense? How? Is GGG fighting Froch?
How more relevant can a poll be? This is between 2 fighters meeting in the next few weeks.
Listening to some on here you would think GG was a killer. That's the only reason, nothing really to do with the thread itself, more its contents.

To use a horrible cliche, this fight is about levels.

Yes, Groves can hit. But Froch has been hit flush by bigger punchers than George Groves numerous times. Kessler, Pascal and Glen Johnson for example and he's come through each time. Say what you like about Froch, but he can take a real dig. Even if Groves catches him cleanly, is it going to to be harder for him to take than any of the above? I doubt it.

Groves meanwhile was down and in big trouble against a tough, but domestic level fighter in Kenny Anderson. He's also been flattened in sparring by Froch with big gloves and a head guard on.

It's not about who hits harder in this case, but who is able to stand up to the power of the man in the opposite corner. Froch may not have the one punch power that Groves has, but that one punch power has only been against far inferior fighters than Froch.

History suggest Froch handles Groves power, but there are big question marks over Groves ability to withstand Froch's sustained aggression.

Froch ko 7-9.
