    Groves vs Stieglitz?

    Apparently Eddie Hearn is trying to make Groves v Stieglitz as chief support for Froch-Kessler II. Seeing the way Stieglitz dominated a good, but basic fighter in Abraham last night - it would most certainly be very interesting. I'm still undecided as to who I would go for. Other than Abraham, Stieglitz's resume is pretty bleach. So is GGs. Who wins?

    Groves isn't ready. And this is coming from a big fan of his.

      I like the fight but i'd be very surprised to see Steiglitz go away from home to fight on an undercard when he is a world champion

        I think he is ready, who else can George fight as a step up fight except fighting some other euro fighter?

          This would be great for the undercard for Froch-Kessler.

          Groves just fought two journeymen so a legit fight needs to be next.

            He should keep fighting at European level and get some top top quality sparring, he still makes mistakes that at world level he will get caught out.

              Maybe he might think that if he beats Groves he'll have a chance to face the winner of Froch v Kessler

                When is he going to be ready?

                He's clearly above European Level and he's been on the cusp of the title shot for a short while.

                Groves is talking Froch, let alone Steiglitez.

                This is exactly the kind of fight Groves needs to get Froch.

                  I think Groves is just about ready to go at world level. Not ready for a Froch or Kessler, but the likes of AA and Steiglitz? I think he is.

                  Saying that, Steiglitz seemed to be hitting a whole lot harder than ever before last night and Groves' chin is a little suspect so it would be an interesting fight.

                    I really like groves and I think he'd have a chance but against any decent puncher he's a ko waiting to happen
