    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.

    Man I know. I've been watching him pretty much from the start and I'm continuing to be impressed. He has a great ability to hit and not get hit and he seems to have plenty of power to go with it. Very bright future and certain to wipe the smile from DeGales face at some stage.

    No disrespect to David Haye but I kinda hope he'll outgrow the Hayemaker promotional outfit sometime soon. I think fighting on David Haye undercards will only get you so far. It's great for now though...

    If Groves was with certain other bigger promoters he would have needed 25+ fights before being matched with an Adamu level fighter.

    Haye/Booth haven't done a bad job with Haye. He's a crossover star with only 25 fights in the bag. Impressive.

    Thats why Haye has been trash talking for all this time.
    It's got him noticed, and got him a title shot very early on in his heavyweight career.
    Haye will still do all the PR stuff, but I think the level of respect he shows opponents will be much greater in future.

    yep

    Theres only so many ways you can sell a fighters talent, eventually the big promoters out there are gonna wanna see wins on the record book. David Haye can be a world champion after only 24fights because of a combination of quality, charisma and the fact there just isnt any real depth in heavyweight boxing right now

    George groves however will find his struggle tougher, there`ll always be a huge pool of talented middleweight fighters across the world
    one dangerous horrible bloke
