    I fail to see how a guy who got ko'd can say he's being avoided. If Anderson was 'beaten' similarly to Bayaar was then i can see a point. But he got ko'd and that's the topband bottom of it.

    A fight I do want to see is degale v Anderson, can't see fwank wanting that tho...

    Come on Brummy!

    "I fail to see how a guy who got ko'd can say he's being avoided." - really? you cant understand it?

    Anderson took the fight with jack all notice, Groves was already in camp.

    Anderson had Groves on ***** Street and gased trying to finish him and ran out of juice.

    Groves then stopped the empty Anderson.

    Many consider that if it was a level playing field going into the fight that Anderson would have had enough in the tank to finish Groves whilst he was rocking.

    Enough cliches in that post? :lol:

    Didn't say he was a hypejob at Cruiser. The cruiserweight division is mediocre. Who cares about cruisers? David Haye was a great cruiser. He ain't a great heavy.

    Thanks for the compliment, though.

    Groves has much more to lose than gain in a rematch. That's why he's "avoiding" it. Groves camp understands that this is all about risk/reward and a rematch has very little reward with tons of risk.

    It's all supposition. Anderson shouldn't have taken the fight if he was 100%, and since he did take the fight he shouldn't really use it as an excuse.

    As others have said - he lost to Groves, he needs to earn a shot.

    You didn't specify he was a hypejob at HW. And he's beaten decent opposition, in fairness. Other than the Audley fight, it's a decent list.

    Thats fair enough slap. I wanna see the fight to but Anderson need to earn it. Sitting on your arse for 8 months while Groves makes himself a household name. Lets see Andersob string some decent wins together.

    Nonsense. Anderson was 10 weeks into a 12 week training camp, not at tip-top peak for sure, but it's not like he'd just been pulled out of the pub and into the ring.

    Billy Nelson was on here the week prior to the fight saying how up for it Kenny was and how good he was feeling, and what he was going to do to Groves.

    Simple fact is this: Groves adapted after surviving a very dangerous early onslaught. Anderson didn't just gas he got broken in two by some wicked, wicked bodyshots.

    True, true. The hype comes from quite a lot of people in Britain who think Haye is gonna walk through Wlad. I'm not saying Haye has no chance but he is a big underdog.

    Groves should fight Anderson, then Smith then DeGale again, should DeGale win the European.

    Those are casual fans who haven't seen much of Wlad. I don't think Haye is hyped beyond reason, if anything I think people are under-rating his chances against Wlad.

    Sorry mate, but you are talking out your arse there.

    I think that Anderson had about two weeks notice for the fight and he wasnt with Billy Nelson then and he sure as hell wouldnt have been even talking to him.

    Groves broke him to the body alright but dont you think the body would have been harder with proper conditioning!?

    Fairytales.
