It was simply an easy fight - all fighters take them and this was Groves chance to return to winning ways and boost his confidence.

The deal he and Kovalev have signed means he'll draw big in November - if they both win their fights up to then. Ward fights in March and Kovalev has another fight in June. Then it's game on.

Couldn't watch and want to now but can't find a video. Maybe it's too soon to be uploaded but i'd appreciate a link if anyone's got one.

I don't blame Groves at all. I hope I'm wrong, but I think he's as shot as David Price and no amount of bum-beating confidence is going to get him back on top again. But good luck to him anyway. No link for that fight needed

Ok. Kovalev just seems to be getting better and better. He didn't give Pascal an inch. Ward is a great fighter. But he is taking a huge risk. Not just the inactivity, but if the fight with Kovalev happens it will be only Ward's second bout at the weight. Hope it happens though!

Does Freddie Roach have a World Champion ATM?

Apparently big frank is making a comeback. http://www.digitalspy.com/showbiz/ne...has-no-choice/ is he off his meds because that seems like a bad idea plus the fact he wouldn't get a licence to box.

I've just read the news item. Oh No!!! Please, please, please, don't take up boxing again, Frank, unless it's in an advisory or coaching capacity. You could do yourself very serious harm by going into the ring again.

Anyway, I believe you've had a detached retina in the past. I very much doubt, and sincerely, hope, they won't give you a licence.

Don't do it, Frank - Please !!!

I led to believe that because of frank's bipolar he wouldn't get a license but seriously?! 54? Frank you we're a great boxer in your time but please don't be stupid

I feel a bit sorry for Frank boxing was his life and the only thing keeping him going. Mentally he needs to keep boxing or at least training for fights. I think in his head he still needs to believe he can fight but honestly he would never be allowed.

Great boxer and a really nice guy keep dreaming the dream but stay out of any serious fights

Joe Frazier is dead at 67 years of age, 2016 is really turning into a rubbish year already for so many high profile deaths.

I didn't see that coming in a million years. Good on him for taking it, but it's a joke fight really.

Yeah seems it, I personally thought it was nailed on to have a Canelo v GGG fight in May time.

Seems a lot of the big names are just avoiding him. Is why I get fed up with boxing, to often we never get the fights we need to see.

I don't want to start a UFC/Boxing argument but I do like the fact on the whole the best do fight the best. Look at that Irish guy Conor McGregor beat one champion at one weight and has now stepped up to fight the champion of the weight above.

Way to many promoters and of course having the WBO, WBA, WBO and IBF makes it even harder to do fights ect

Props to khan as I didn't think he would take take fight like this. His going to get knocked out though. Canelo far to big, too strong and will walk khan down.

Canelo v GGG only happens when golovkin accepts terms. Canelo brings the money to the table and that means he will always be the A side fighter.

Brook v Khan never happens. Summer 2017 is too late. Brook and Hearn need to move on and put up the money for the unification fight v Garcia.

On the flip side Canelo for example makes more money per fight McGregor ever will.

Woah, will be a good build up at least with a decent name opponent.. Canelo to strong for Khan as said above...

Speaking with not as much expertise as some of the posters in this thread, but wouldn't Garcia v Canelo be a good fight? I rate Garcia very highly...

Na as Garcia is too small. Canelo is a full blown MW amd could easily fight at 160lbs while Garcia is barely a WW.

True, I think McGregor made around $7 million for his last fight but for the fans boxing can be very frustrating and I say that as a boxing fan. I watch UFC here and there by boxing has been a sport I have followed since around 88/89.

It is nothing new though within the sport but I guess the main example will always be the Manny/Mayweather fight that should never of took 5/6 years to get signed. Happens to often.
