Andre Ward keen on fighting George Groves

We all want the Froch-Groves rematch but in one sense it would be good to see Groves-Ward happen next because if Froch wins the rematch we'll probably never see it.

“@bhoychucky: @andreward do you think george groves will win a world title” He deserves a shot. He's the real deal. Confident, but humble.

“@Nicky_Radford1: @andreward Do you see @StGeorgeGroves as a potential opponent?” 100%. He deserves a shot!'

“@Tomgunners11: @andreward I think you should give @StGeorgeGroves a shot.” We have to see. That might happen.

“@JoshHibbs4: @andreward Who would you prefer to fight out of DeGale & Groves? who do you think is more worthy.” Groves hotter at the moment

“@storeyboy14: @andreward do you think Carl froch is overrated and dillusional??” Not overrated, but def the latter.

Ward should fight him. He shouldn't go to the UK to do it, but he should fight him.

Great fight man! George would definitely cause Ward some problems, but ultimately Ward wins.

Love to see this fight happen. If Groves wants a tuneup fight, I love to see him against Edwin Rodriguez.

It's not that long since Groves fought in California, I don't think he would have a big issue travelling if the price is right. Either or, I'm fine with the fight.

groves has a better chance of winning a few rounds against SOG than froch does

I like it... This would p1ss Froch off lol He'd love it, it'd give him an excuse not to rematch either. And instead selling us a rubber match with Kessler which nobody wants to see.

I'm down, Groves should shoot for the bigger fish.... the question is...where It's not that long since Groves fought in California, I don't think he would have a big issue travelling if the price is right.

If Groves (or a referee) can keep the fight on the outside, I don't think it's an easy UD. On the inside, I don't think Groves would have much answer for Ward offensively, although Groves is intelligent, he might tie him up. All in all, I think it's a good fight. Would favour Ward, but Groves a live underdog. I do agree with you to certain extent but i dont think ward would have much problem on the outside, but if he did he would rough his way in making it an ugly fight and a boring UD. But make no mistake I do consider Groves a legitimate fight and a live underdog.

I would like to see Groves fight a comeback fight first but this is one the best matchups at super middleweight.

I'd pay to see this just to see the look on pathetic Froch's face! Groves deserves a shot at Ward >>> Froch rematching ward.

Stealing the Groves fight from Froch is his best option because there are few other credible opponents that the public would anticipate him fighting against. Groves would present new problems to Ward... Ward would solve them en route to dominating George...

A lot better than a rematch with Froch or fighting Chavez

Great fight ... but S.O.G by easy UD. It sucks but he has the same problem as the really skilled guys, he need opposition or else its gonna be boring. If Groves (or a referee) can keep the fight on the outside, I don't think it's an easy UD.
