But reckons Groves could swing it his way!
As what promises to be an enthralling re-match between George Groves and Carl Froch draws ever-nearer, with the fight now a mere three weeks away, Amir Khan has given his views regarding who he believes will emerge triumphant.
Khan, fresh from a dazzling display in Las Vegas last weekend, edges towards the champion, Froch, hanging on to his IBF and WBA super-middleweight belts.
The Bolton fighter, still harbouring a desire to take on Floyd Mayweather Junior, had this to say when appearing on the popular Sky Sports show, Ringside,
?I think it?s a 50-50 fight.?
?It?ll depend on who starts first, and who starts the quickest. If you look at Groves what gave him confidence in the first fight is putting Froch down, and then he had a great few rounds after that. This time Froch is going to know what to expect. He?s going to be more smarter in this fight. I favour Froch in this one. He?s the bigger, stronger guy with more experience, but I think the tables can turn.?
To me those are interesting comments with Khan suggesting that although he just edges towards Froch, if Groves can prevent Froch getting off to a good start, then the challenger could well become the new champion.
Do you concur with Amir?s thought?
