    If Kessler decides not to retire, I like the sound of this fight. It will give us an indication of how far Groves has come along. It maybe an ideal time to fight Kessler. A big name in this country but possibly on the slide?

    Froch controlled the fight last night with his jab. In my opinion, Groves' jab is even better.

    If the rumours are anything to go by, Groves done pretty well in sparring (albeit sparring!)

    I personally think Eddie should put groves in with froch now.

    I don't think froch wants ward. And who could blame him. Ward will do the same to him again. Hopkins is a horrible fight, it's not one I'd pay to watch anyway.

    Groves and froch would easily sell out the 02, and that's easily do ppv for it as well. I'd make the fight now, maybe for September.

    I think Groves should fight Stieglitz and if Kessler is up for number 3 on neutral ground then do that.

    Froch v Groves could definitely happen this year will make plenty of £ here.

    The pre fight heat between Froch & Groves also gives a hint something in the pipeline could happen.If it makes money it makes sense would certainly sell out quickly.

    Kessler would stop Groves, who still has a leaky defence, coupled with his average chin.

    He's coming on nicely though, but he's not ready to be thrown in with the likes of Froch or Kessler yet.

    Very much doubt Eddie would put that on in the o2...would end up being a hugely pro-groves crowd. MEN maybe.

    Groves Kessler would be a good fight for normal Sky Sports. Its an obvious route to building Groves Froch.

    At present there is no way on earth Groves deserves PPV. And Kessler probably beats him.

    True, unbelievble that groves was ppv for a British title fight, gone to his head imo

    Kessler has nothing to win fighting Groves.

    No money and no belt!
