Not sure where he goes from here now, as that is 2 straight world title fights and 2 straight defeats, and this one brought back the "chinny" reputation that was talked about before the first fight.
Personally, I think he will be one of those fighters who finds himself just short of World Title level, like a Herol Graham or Michael Watson - He probably blew his best chance in the first fight with Froch. Its pretty obvious that Froch was well short of his best in that fight, yet Groves still managed to fall short... Yes, he was a little unlucky with the stoppage, but he should never have give Froch that chance, because he should have stopped Froch several rounds before, but wasn't able to complete the job.
