George Groves and Smith are probably the best of the bunch.

[English puncher]

George Groves is a Beast!

[usaboxing142]

All those guys he just named are all upcoming good fighters,but how can he say that by sparring with them and comparing himself to them if he SUCKS!Carl Froch will get knock out in his next fight regardless of where it is!!!!!

[toysale]

I can safely say, that's the first article that I have ever read where Froch praised fighters rather than mocking them.

Just a massive shame about Sutherland.

froch is right about the british super middleweight scene atm....george groves is pretty fast atm....havnt seen tony jefferies fight though in the past...

Groves is our best SMW behind Froch.

He could beat Smith in a few fights time.

DeGale, Jeffries and Groves should at least reach world level. Smith won't go further than British.

[black.ink]

I'd rank them

1.Groves
2.DeGale
3.Jeffries

Smith at the moment would likely beat them on experience at domestic level, but give Groves a few more fights to adjust and i see him being the pick of the bunch. The lad should bag a world title in years to come. Degale has shown great composure and hasn't really been threatened by any challenge, so i hope to see him step up soon. I've seen little of Jeffries to make much of an assumption at the moment.

[D-MiZe]

Jeffries is a good fighter.

As an amateur he had a great jab, but seems to have neglected it in the pro game. He also looked a little embarrassed with the level of opposition he's facing, Maloney needs to step him up soon.

He can potentially be a world beater, but I think he needs a new trainer and needs to work on using the jab. Instead he tries to finish the fight early and gets caught with some ****** shots.

He does have a huge fanbase though.
