    Groves beat Degale, Chudinov and Murray. Gave Froch a brutal time. Groves took more rounds off Froch than any fighter had. he dominated until he gassed out late and was stopped. Sorry, but you're talking rubbish.
    Ain't forget none of that. YOU felt he got beat by both of them, which is understandable as they were close, ugly fights. I felt he edged them out. I'm talking about who they were at the time of their fights. Groves was past it coming back off of surgery when he went at it with Smith. Dirrell was still on top of his game when he went at it with Benavidez. If you wanna judge by resumes, Degale was barely starting his career when he beat him & the other two are journeyman/contenders that never beat anybody notable either. They would be pretty much the same imo. Neither guy beat anybody great.

        Then feel free to enlighten me with your opinion. I'm open for debate. I ain't knocking him. He's a very good fighter. I just feel he is the less proven of the two.

          Groves was on his way out and lost just about every championship fight he had. Eubank is not highly ranked by most. Smith can fight BJS or Benavidez. As long as they are champs, i'll watch. That guy on the Joshua undercard was horrible and Smith has done nothing since retiring a shop worn Groves. So many rate Smith as #1 and I want to see this so called #1 fight any other champ. I also have no issue with Benavidez vs Plant in the meantime.

            Smith will get knocked out in the middle rounds. As long as no foolery is allowed in the UK it’s an easy million dollar pay day for benavidez

              The only way this fight happens is if Hearn cozy's up to Sulaiman again; PBC will be far more interested in making a Benavidez-Plant unification.

                  True. Most people ain't ever boxed before either. People should try it sometime. They might understand the sport a bit better.

                    ... it's even less than that: most of the armchair fans were never involved in regular practicing whatever contact sport, tbh... (one doesn't have to box in order to understand what a competitive sport really is about...)

                      Im talking about the full range of bs not just the banned substances sh^t. Dont argue one thing with me like thats the only thing Im saying. BJS is a f#ckup who can fight.

                      Oh sure, Saunders hasn't done anything at 168, but he is the most proven overall with his work at 160.
                      Canelo & GGG got him beat 100%. Id argue Danny does to. But he is probably 4th in resumes thinking about it off the top of my head. There is certainly an argument hes 4th I gotta figure if there is someone Im forgetting right now.
