He is a talented fighter and has a good team but its by no means a given he will overcome Froch.

tremendous use of understatement, here

I think he's referring to Groves's height more than anything.

Im not sold on Froch being 6'1. He's more like 6'0. Ward is listed as being 6'0 and he was slightly taller than Froch in there head to heads.

Height? He's a naturally bigger guy than Froch. When groves is 36 he could be a cruiser. Lol

well I think the argument is that Groves isnt the tallest super middleweight out there.

Not the tallest but he is taller than Mike Tyson. I know - different body types.

Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore both stood at a very similar height to Groves.
But Groves is ginger. That knocks 2 inches off him straight away.

I like George but not trying to sail on GGG bandwagon but golovkin is a class above groves... and as people have already pointed out although george is a good boxer he can be inconsistent in defence and his jaw isn't granite and has been down... even if GGG moves up it'll be GGG ko round 6 or 7 if not earlier. ..
PS Dont think Booth or Eddie are stupid enough go anywhere near GGG TBH.. maybe Groves in the future (about 6-7 years) hopefully then the power of GGG might have waned a little and there would be a massive purse for George to take a risk...
