    Why not George Groves?

    He's a bigger name in the UK than Eubank Jr and Brook. He fought in front of 80,000 people at Wembley Stadium. He just beat a guy Golovkin beat. Why not George Groves?

    I don't know. Jubei mentioned here something: http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=716683

      I mentioned this before as I thought it would be an excellent fight. GGG really needed to do something to start building a legacy but he essentially copied Canelo. Terribly disappointing.

        Never thought of Groves

        Would have been a decent pick, GGG absolutely destroys Groves though, Don't like the pick but I'm interested in how Kell does

          I would have definitely preferred to see him against Groves. A super middleweight who I believe he would beat but might be challenged by. I see the Brook fight as a mismatch.

            That's his opinion and he has nothing to back it up. Groves has fought everybody. Stop with the foolishness

              He's right about him being with Sauerland and not Hearn

                He said Sauerland wouldn't let him anywhere near GGG. Groves has fought damn near anyone he could. They've never approached Groves so there's no basis for that statement. It seems like any time someone throws out a legitimate opponent that may cause GGG to get out of his comfort zone a make a sacrifice his fans always make up an excuse. It's pathetic.

                  Golovkin prefers welterweights over super middleweights

                    Dunno, they sparred and Groves quit on 2nd day full of excuses. In any case he's not with match room, and your edit doesn't make much more sense. So Hearn is gonna promote an event featuring a Sauerland and K2 fighter?
