Groves says he doesn’t like Froch, who beat him twice by knockout. Groves says that at the end of Froch’s career, he was trying to handpick opponents to fight and wound up being stripped of his WBA title and had to vacate his IBF title.

Every fighter during his career is open to criticism i.e. not fast enough, not powerful enough, no chin, one dimensional, not fighting the best etc. When you retire most of those questions disappear.

By Scott Gilfoid: Former two time world title challenger George Groves (21-2, 16 KOs) says he’s not surprised that Carl Froch (33-2, 24 KOs) is stepping away from the game at the age of 38. Groves noted that Froch really hadn’t been involved in the sport of boxing following his second win over him last year in May 2014, and he figured that his retirement was going to be on its way after that.
