Comments Thread For: Hearn Eyes Callum Smith-George Groves Clash In 2016

[JakeNDaBox]

After Callum Smith’s one-round demolition job of Rocky Fielding last Saturday night, his promoter Eddie Hearn has one eye on a potentially lucrative fight for the Liverpudlian in 2016.

Smith, who became the fourth brother from his family to win a British title at the weekend, now has his sights firmly on the WBC super middleweight title currently held by Badou Jack. Before that, however, there will likely be one more hurdle for the unbeaten 6ft 3ins 25-year-old to overcome.

“He’s had some great wins,” Hearn said of Smith. “He’s done everything that’s been asked of him and now he’s in a position where he’s number one with the WBC. We’ll be pushing them to make him mandatory (for Badou Jack) or put him forward for a final eliminator.

“Looking at the rankings number one is Callum Smith, number two is Gilberto Ramirez who is the mandatory for the winner of [Arthur] Abraham against [Martin] Murray (for the WBO title) and number three is George Groves. So what about a final eliminator between Callum Smith and George Groves? That’s a massive fight.” [Click Here To Read More]

translation, we're going to have 5 tune ups next year. Groves is too many levels above, he should do what joe gallaghers guys do claim theyre a level above. Groves has fought top level he should say who is callum smith. war georgie and atleast let georgie have a tune up, and get a trainer sorted. Not very fair that, calling him out while he's not even settled. Georgie is the A-side.

my old avy used to be cotto, yes before he beat martinez and was a huge under dog. And Ive had abraham before he fought smith. Might go back to arthur, murrays going to get pasted.

I'd like to see that fight. I'm not sure what Groves still has left in the tank, i think those Froch fights took a lot out of him physically and mentally.

He was competitive with Jack though until he gassed in the 2nd half of the fight, so a fight with Smith could still be a good indicator as to where Smith is at this stage.

This guy overrates fighters bigtime to the degree where i think he just makes stuff up to make himself seem smart. He said pre fight Callum Smith had no chance of a knockout over Rocky Fielding . If i remember Fielding hit the deck 3 times in under 1 round.

I thought he was just anti-Joe Gallagher. Not sure why his issue with him is lol...it's one of the weirder obsessions on here.
