    Groves was Terrific, No. 3 at SMW?

    I know there have already been a lot of Groves/Froch posts and threads but Groves at times looked levels above one of the best champions in the divisions' history and one of the best fighters of the last decade or so.

    He proved me wrong and I'm guessing he proved 99% of people here wrong, and I know this is one fight at championship level but Groves did to Froch what not even Ward could (I'm not saying Groves is better), he hurt Froch, he backed him up and he made him look old, silly and ineffective..until the last couple rounds that it when Froch's punches started to get through.

    What do you guys think?

    I think priority is to make Groves/Froch 2 and then Groves has the world at his feet.

    Id favour Kessler over Groves, Stieglitz 50/50. But you can make a case for no.3 sure

      Groves looked a class act tonight.

      Speed, skill, power. He has great movement and is a great counter puncher.

      He give's any SMW trouble.

      Actually, scratch that. He beats them all apart from Ward.

        He's put himself in the window for some big fights, that's for sure. Reckon he should take on Kessler.

          Havent watched the froch fight but seen groves fight before. But he would beat the sht out of stieglitz. Stieglitz does nothing special and as for kessler I think he might be past it now

                Groves would maul Stieglitz. Groves-Kessler a great fight after watching kessler v. froch 2 and groves tonight it'd be real close!

                  I don't want to put him over Froch, because maybe Froch would have stopped him, but he's at least co-number 2. Froch is no joke, doing that to him means he could beat anyone else besides Ward.

                    Stamina needs some work though, think he would've struggled in the later rounds.

                    Definitely got the skills and power to be top 3. Maybe even above Froch.
