    Good on George getting out there looking to improve. Would love to see footage of these spars.

    There's still no evidence that GGG can carry his power into Super Middle. I want to see him face a 168 fighter with a good chin before people start saying he will KO everyone.

    If he has such a china chin why dont you go down to his gym and volunteer to do a few rounds with him, im sure you wouldnt be half as mouthy in person

    Nothing wrong with George Groves chin the nearer he is to 12 stone between fights will benefit him and working on his overall fitness so he can box at a higher pace without fading late on in the fight. Sparrng in the USA with the likes of GGG is a smart move.

    Indeed and also shows he has the right mentality for fight game, he could have easily took the safe and easy option but instead is sparring with one of the most brutal KO artist in the world.

    George is still the future, as long as he doesnt make the amature mistakes he did against Froch he is still the best of the rest at 168.

    how, even against Anderson Groves showed he cant take a shot well. Its because he does not have the fitness of a world class fighter, so when hes tagged his jaw cant take it, so has a glass jaw. Look at Callum Smith yesterday, a lot better stamina than Groves

    I am not a professional boxer who got paid millions for my last fight, and for 2nd time on trot as soon as pressure is put on I fold like a pack of cards (as I predicted would happen). He talked the talk and people were gullible to believe him, so he needs to take a slagging. Froch did after first fight, and he won ! In a career worst performance by Froch too don't forget

    DeGale would beat him, as I think he did in 1st fight (and I think he is overrated too), in 12 months time Callum Smith would beat the 2 of them, think he could properly do it just now, but in 12 months (another 6 fights or so) would beat them with a bit to spare. He is the future
