Ward is begging for a fight.  He even came to the UK for the Kessler fight.

You don't actually know that he does and he was out injured for quite a while so Froch signed up for Groves, the best available at the time.

You do go on as if you own the place.

I don't remember you on the old board.  

You give me the impression you're a football fan.


The fight is a mismatch.  You can try and justify it and sing from Eddie's hymn sheet but remember to check in here on the Sunday morning for the post fight analysis or more aptly the review of the carnage.  

This fight is not justifiable and if that imaginary discussion you have with Eddie ever becomes reality tell him I said he's going to end up looking like Paul O'Grady.

Emotional...not really? Annoyed at your continued presence on these boards despite spouting complete tosh...perhaps.

Lets dissect your rather, as usual, feeble statement/points:

Groves thinking he can win - If he doesn't then I would hazard a guess he is in the wrong sport. Much like people did against DeGale he is being written off...I am pretty sure he will be looking to shut a few people's mouths much like he did then.

PPV - I have stated numerous times that I do not think this is a PPV fight...what I have said is that I think Hearn will at least try to make it a value for money PPV by providing a good card in terms of number of fights on and fighters on show.

Expectations: They come with the territory...just because it is PPV doesn't mean people think higher of Groves or indeed believe he should be winning. In fact on the contrary all it has done is put huge pressure on Froch, especially with his statement regards being the one who sells the tickets etc. This is seen as an easy nights work for Carl, from many on here and the general public. The only one really expecting anything from Groves is probably himself.

Doing nothing to deserve the shot: Much like Cooper against Ali, Haye against Wlad numerous others throughout history. He may not be a World Champion...but he has won British, Commonwealth honours and is ranked 2nd by the WBA, 6th by the IBF & 2nd by the WBO....add to the fact he is the biggest domestic challenge for Froch at this moment in time and it stands to reason why the fight has been made. Clearly any Kessler rematch is on hold and Ward is occupied and perhaps a no go at this moment. In that case name someone else Froch should be going in with?!

PPV worthy

I notice you didn't actually try to argue any of the points I made Strongy; if anyone is reading from a hymn sheet it's you....sadly one which you read from and repeat no matter what...whether it be an article about Haye, Hearn or Groves!

And no I don't own shares in the site, I just like to feel I am doing my best to get rid of idiots like yourself. (Jabmachine, apologies for the name calling )

PPV is what is not justifiable, as I have stated (though the blow can be softened by the strength of the undercard) not the fight itself!

I wasn't fussed who won until today, now I would like Groves to pull off the win...so I can check back here and see whether you have scurried off under a rock somewhere..

Instead of repeating yourself with more or less the same retort every time answer the simple question:

Who else is Froch realistically supposed to fight?

Andre Ward: Does he really want it?! If so why won't he travel...the argument he shouldn't have to travel can be used but then why should Froch when he can fight here?

Stieglitz: Yeh he beat Abraham, a washed up version of him who has been beaten by: Dirrell, Froch & Ward ...in fact he has looked like a gatekeeper ever since he stepped up to Super Middle...

Kessler: The guy he just beat...and who many claimed is washed up and a shell of his former self. I guarantee should he have taken that option you would be one of them slaughtering him for doing so.
