What would George Groves do to Chavez Jr?

Would he kill? I watched the Froch fight again and im simply in awe.. Words can't describe how marvelous this guy is.

Let's talk about some other potential matchups besides the Froch rematch..

How does St. George fare against the likes of Bika, Ward, Jr, and Anthony Dirrell? And what kind of beatdown would he put on Chavez jR?

Good call. I wanna see it. Southern Cali be the spot. Good draw, HBO. DO IT!

It would be a good way to introduce Groves to the American/Mexican audience since Chavez has a following..

The historical Inglewood Forum just re-opened around here and Arum is going to start putting fights there.. Groves-Chavez in Inglewood or Home Depot Center would be crazy!

Id love to see Groves fight live..

If Chavez Jr actually fancied his chances of making 168 in the first place, or beating anyone decent there, we would've seen him against Sakio Bika next. I think Arthur Abraham would still be able to KO him, Jr is losing to literally anyone good he fights any time soon imo.

I hope people dont start jumping to conclusions with Groves based on last Saturday. Groves entire camp was probably based around getting the right hand over Carls lazy left and it worked. It was only a matter of time before somebody took advantage of that practice. Carl probably under prepared believing in all the hype that he would cave the kid in early. That kd in the first took it all out of Froch upstairs. Had he prepared properly it would not have.

I'm skeptical about Groves. He still seems pretty easy to hit even with Carls low and degraded early output. The Chavez fight would be a good one. From what I've seen of both men and putting aside my dislike for Chavez I'd probably take him to beat Groves. I think Chavez has been positioned to take on the winner of Bika/Dirrell by magically appearing at #2 having never fought at that weight. Groves probably cant get the fight and I dont think Froch will either. In the mean time Groves needs to move along and get another fight in the next 4 to 6 months. Call out Kessler if need be or maybe throttle Abraham if he gets past Steiglitz.

I said Groves would KO Chavez jr long before Saturday night and everyone laughed at me.

IamInuit is right though, it's a whole different ball game for Groves now the cats been let out the bag. Whoever he faces in future will know he deserves maximum respect. There is now expectation on him too. He wont have the advantage of being in a no lose situation in future.
