    Found this in the Daily mail. I can't post links so thought I'd copy and paste.


    Since then Groves’ short-term deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom has expired, leaving him free to consider his future with several promoters – Sportsmail understands Golden Boy, Top Rank, Lou DiBella and K2, who are headed up by Tom Loeffler in the US – planning to sign him.


    I personally want Eddie to sign him up as I want him to get the exposure he deserves on Sky Sports. I do truly believe that him and Brook could be the face of Matchroom boxing. Who do you want him to sign with and also who do you think he should?

    If Matchroom can't deliver him the Froch rematch then there's no point him staying with Hearn as not much else he could offer Groves especially as the Hearns don't have good relations with other British and overseas Boxing Promoters.

    The 3 best options for Groves would be:

    Frank and Boxnation: He would be guaranteed a shot at WBO champ Robert Steiglitz which for me is the best fight for him at the moment.

    Toprank: They can offer him massive exposure in America on HBO and fights with Julio Caesar Chavez jr and Ring champion Andre Ward.

    Goldenboy: They can build him up on Showtime and offer him a fight with WBC champion Sakio Bika.

    Groves needs to stay away from Toprank as Chavez Jr and Ward would chew him up and spit him out. He's been with Frank before and despite leaving on good terms Groves may feel it's a backward step in his career. Which leaves the best option for him at moment is GOLDENBOY and a fight with Sakio Bika.

    Ward I agree is a step too far but Groves would destroy Chavez Jr.

    On the basis of how Chavez jr looked in his last fight i agree but i think that was just an off night and he'll look much better in the March rematch.

    I mean it in that Groves grows weaker the longer the fight goes on and Chavez gets stronger so he's all wrong for George in that sense.

    Froch is afraid of Groves. I never thought I would ever see Froch afraid of any fighter, but Froch knows if his referee had not stopped the fight he would have lost.......................a rematch is a must, but Froch is afraid. What a shame. Froch would fight anyone at one time, but now.............

    Is that Chevez on or off drugs?
    Groves would beat Chavez imo comfortably

    Groves should get with the Saurelands or Frank. Eddie is too close to Carl for the rematch to happen...

    Groves is a quality fighter, Froch needs him more than he needs Froch now

    If he goes for Bika then we'll be seeing the Degale rematch in 2014.

    Groves beats Kebabchez jr Stieglitz and Bika and if Froch takes a rematch he will get stopped within 6 rounds

    Sauerland would be his best option IMO.
