I honestly can't think of another top fighter at SMW who hits as hard as George Groves? Nobody has shook Carl Froch up seriously in 10 or so championship fights, while Groves had him badly hurt on several occasions. That left right combo that put Froch down would have stopped 90% of the SMW division.
If Groves can work on his stamina and not get dragged into exchanges, I can see his speed, accuracy, and power giving the SMW and LHW divisions fits.
He's never going to beat Ward over 12, but I wouldn't rule out a KO victory. Maybe a 10-20% chance. However, I definitely believe he has all the tools and potential needed to become the definitive number two guy. He's only 25 too, so has plenty more miles on the clock. For me at least, the SMW division has become exciting again.
