let's see if he can handle a top american like tommy karpency or shawn hawk first. my gut says he can't!
How far can George Groves go in boxing?

If you look at George's record, the guys he's faced like J Degale and K Anderson, those were dangerous opponents for a novice when he faced them. I don't think George is going down the 'win the WBO and defend it against road sweepers and nightclub bouncers route', even though George is promoted by Fwank. I think George has been matched up tough for a prospect, Glen Johnson may be old but he knows enough to trouble any 15 fight novice

Groves needs to fix his defense, he is a tough bastard, i can see him causing problems for many boxers and winning a major title
He sometimes tries to fight like David Haye, but he simply doesnt have the reflexes for it.Comment

Agree with everyone here, good fringe contender, might win a world title (honestly I thought he would have beat Stieglitz, why did he drop out of that fight?), but won't amount to much more.
In fact, I think Bika would beat him right now.Comment

2013 could be a good year for Groves to get his name out there. If he boxes well..i see Stieglitz and possibly Abraham as winnable fights for him. Although IMO hes not ready for the real top names in the division.
A steady 2013 facing good competition will do him the world of good..although i wouldn't consider putting him in the ring with Froch at all anytime in the near future.Comment

As a big Groves fan I'd love to see him fight Bika, that would be a real acid test for George

Agree with this entirely, George is at least 2 years away from facing someone as good as Froch or WardComment
