Did Carl Froch KO George Groves in front of 80,000 at Wembley? I hadn't seen this... Links? Won't believe it till I see it.
As for Haye, I personally believe he has the beating of AJ over the next 18 months. I'm not concerned that he weighed in at 227; he's 35 and people mature and thicken. De Mori was a bum but Haye still moved well and can still deliver true concussive power. Plus, he has experience - you can't but that.
Post 18 months, I make the case with more experience, AJ beats the aging and by then, slowing Haye. AJ has talent, but still needs experience. He needs to cut down the body building too. He's athletic naturally but looks like Bruno currently.
Assuming AJ doesn't get clocked by then (I'm not sold on him quite frankly), and Haye keeps fighting beyond a few fights (which remains to be seen).
