    No he doesn't. Groves is much more solid than Smith. Smith is just taller. Height doesn't always equate to size and size doesn't always mean you're going to have an advantage. It all depends on if you can use it properly. Groves has a ramrod jab and if he wins the battle of the jab, Smith will lose IMO.
    Height IS everything. If you have height, you'll beat your opposition no matter what the skill differentiation is. Smith by TKO1.

        Callum looks like he wishes he was dead, George looking strong.

          I don't think Callum is more skilled. He's looked average against European level competition in the quarters and semis of the WBSS with opponents that Groves would have demolished. Who has Smith "smashed" that was a legit contender? Nobody. His big knockout wins have all come against British and European level opponents. He's never been in the huge fights that Groves has.
          I was saying he is the most skilled out of the Smith brothers, not Groves.... should have been clearer.

            Callum does not box tall and has been outjabbed by a smaller Skoglund already in this tournament. Height is only an advantage if your style suits it.

              Skills don't matter, all you need is height. I've got height by TKO1 in this one.
