      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

      That's the second post of yours that's made me laugh today, along with your avatar! you're a funny guy daggum

        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.

          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.

            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.

              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 Ward
