    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.

    For sure his personality and the fact he's a heavyweight are huge factors in his current fame, but he's also been respected by hardcore Brit fans for years now.

    Not only was he taking on guys like Thompson way earlier than expected, he also won his titles away from home and as the "away" fighter on other promoters bills in England. Something similar with Groves will get him huge credit/attention too.

    The only thing Groves will struggle with as far as the bigger Brit promoters are concerned is being ducked.

    As long as booth mantains a steady relationship with sky id be surprised if he wasnt in with the likes of smith, dodson within the next 12months.

    Of course de gale will dodge him like hell as he will any other half decent 160/168pounder

    I'm not generally too keen on Adam Booth but one thing I do like is how I've heard him say that there is way too much put on the undefeated record and that there is no shame in losing if you take hard fights, that a loss is not the end. He said that was his message to young fighters. I think thats a pretty damn good message. Plus he seems as good as his word when it comes to George Groves.

    Saw Groves win and he was really impressive and measured cannot believe he has only fought 9 times. Quality fighter.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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

    I think he may be able to step up in a year or 2, because hes a naturally well built lad.
