@ The Weebler II
I wasn't aware that George said he was willing to travel to face RS....but if that's the case then I still take that as a very good/positive sign of a fighter who really fancies the job.
I also agree with your view of RS as well...he was dead poor when he faced Abraham first time up, but the Mark 2 version of Robert would push George far harder and closer (whether the fight was in the UK or Germany).
Having said that, I still think Groves is a wee bit too fast and a spiteful, hurtful puncher who Robert would find too hot to handle.
I personally became a Groves 'believer' fairly late in life...the fight with Degale was close and only suggested George could cope with pressure a tad better than another hyped, novice prospect and he did not look good against the hard, but dead-basic Anderson.
But the way he blew Paul Smith clean out of the water - who is not too short of being world class - and handled the super-experienced Glen Johnson with plenty to spare suggests this kid genuinely has the X-factor.
Groves has Stieglitz in his sights and I am still banking on the Stieglitz team taking on Abraham for a third time...unless Eddie raids the Hearn family vault.
