If I was Kenny I wouldn't be using Grove's footprint I would be using the Euro geezer that degale walked down ***** street with. I would just go and take it straight to him which is what Kenny does best!!!
For what it's worth, I think the Anderson fight would be a good one. It would erase a slight question mark and show Groves has progressed. All I'm asking is what Anderson has done to earn a rematch. That said, none of that's Kenny's fault - he's been well-avoided.
I'd like to see Groves out on an American show before christmas with a 'keep busy' fight. Then come back to the UK, defend the British title two more times possibly against Kenny Anderson again and perhaps Patrick Mendy. If he does this in the next 4-6 months and wins these which I'd expect him too, he'd be 17-0 at 23/24 years old and have the Lonsdale belt for keeps. He'd have swept any outstanding issues about Anderson under the carpet, been able to dabble in working on new things that he's learned in the gym in outings if he gets a run out in Christmas + in the fight against Mendy who I feel he is a clear clear level above. Then he could look at getting in with Magee.
I don't know if he's still fighting but someone like Curtis Stevens would be a decent benchmark. He's stopped that pole who Degale struggled with in 3 rounds. I'd take it easy with Groves, no rush just stay active. Even someone like Jesse Brinkley would be too much right now.
i think Magee is a good fight for groves, however i don't think he'll take it this early. Rematch with anderson then Magee early 2012
Problem here is if Groves were to beat Magee, and I would favour Groves, Groves would have stepped up a level a bit too far in terms of future comp with Magee being the WBA INT champ.
Andrade is an excellent shout :deal That gets my vote , maybe not before Xmas as he has stated , but the fight after
