    Eddie Hearn has challenged Sauerlands to put Groves in with Callum Smith saying they will take that fight in a heartbeat. It's a bold move, but I think Smith has stamina and power that would stop Groves Latein any fight. What is people's views.

    This would be an excellent fight and to be honest close to call, George has experience but Callum simply cant be faulted for what hes already done.
    I personally would like Callum to gain more experience before challenging the likes of George, he's got plenty of time on his side and a potential loss could play with the mind

    Its easy to call out someone like groves when u know he will say no because he is going for a world title. Too early for smith but they will claim groves ducked him

    Did Groves shag ya missus Billy?

    First Rocky Fielding a guy who went life and death with a 58 year old Adam would beat Groves now a green Callum Smith:hi:

    Was this like how Burns would beat Broner and John Simpson would do Quigg and Frampton?

    You have lost the plot mate:hi:

    I agree its a tricky one, I think if it had to happen now Smith would win, but very risky. I would like to see him fight Rebrase next. I want Rocky and Callum to fight but I would wait till there was a euro belt or such like to play for. Groves will vacate that soon enough, wouldn't be surprised if Rebrase got to fight for vacant title. Would be great learning fight for Callum

    I would definitley favour Groves if it were to happen now. Callum looks like a great prospect though and this looks like a great fight for 18 months to 2 years down the line.

    Read what i've wrote you tool i'm implying a defeat for Callum could be damaging potentially if he weren't ready for that level hence why I think times on his side.
    A few years ago yes John Simpson when he would hav been capable of making sbw would have given either of the two has hard a fight has they currently have had, just my opinion ive seen john and carl spar

    Eddie turning into the new FW here.

    "i have the emails to prove it"

    unsubstantiated rubbish is all it is. Small time tactics by Eddie here, very small time.

    Groves would get the job done in a couple of rounds.

    Eddie silly boy

    Groves moves into pole position for WBC Title. Eddie makes a silly offer like this.

    Fielding VS Smith would be good though.

    Eddie is just trying to put all his eggs in one basket.

    Smith beats AA? One more belt to the stable.
    Smith beats GG? Another belt to the stable.
    Froch? Win, lose or draw against Degale = Belts are still with MR.
