    Default George Groves....

    Missed his fight at the arena, but caught it on TV yesterday.
    Really impressed by the maturity of the performance against a very experienced (if a bit wild) opponent.
    Looks like this kids got a bright future.

    Yeah, i've been trying to keep up with he's career. He's light years ahead of Degale as far as development goes IMO.

    I think Goldenboy have been showing there interest already.

    If you were comparing their careers to this current point groves in terms of ability has stole an absoloute march on de gale.

    He hasnt had the bright lights and fame of the olympics, while de gale has been jollying it up groves has actually been working on making himself a world class fighter and not just claiming to be one
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    Another Adam Booth success story.

    I definitely rate Groves ahead of Smith and Degale. Degale is all hype and Smith is over rated in my opinion.
    He looks like he could potentially get better and better as he's only 22 now.
    He walked in front of us after his fight on Saturday night, and didn't have a mark on him.

    Looking forward to a Degale v Groves fight

    I'd absolutely agree with that. I'd say that even at this stage right now Groves would handle Smith no problems. As for De Gale, he is a bit over rated at this stage, while he has plenty of potential he gets hit way too easy for my liking. I'd say Groves would make DeGale eat leather all night long. Groves also has a huge reach, which makes him very hard to hit controlling the distance very well. He appears to me to be 3 years atleast ahead of DeGale in terms of progress.....

    And thats a pretty scary thought when you consider he's only 22.

    Yeah he was stood right at the side of me having photos taken and signing autographs for fans. I asked the bird if she wanted one but she told me to leave him alone..... And that was me... told lol.

    Groves is looking better and better. Very impressive to get the stoppage. He made Adamu look worse than he is.

    He seems way in front of DeGale and the like at the moment (as jim said). I'd make him favourite over Smith for the British.
