    Who wins this?

    A comment on a George Groves thread got me thinking about this.

    I think my money would be on Anderson, he's a much better fighter than he is given credit for!!!

    Thoughts?

    Anderson, without a doubt. I hope he gets some decent fights now and gets the chance to prove it.

    Smith.
    But this is a fight I would like to see and I can see it getting made as an eliminator

    Good scrap either way. I reckon Kenny just edges it.

    It depends on how Smith rebuilds under his new trainer.

    Anderson proved a lot against Groves, even if he did eventually get stopped. Hopefully he can rack up a few wins and get another crack at a title. With DeGale surely being fastracked a rematch with Groves is possible for sure.

    Christ, I'm the biggest smigga fan going but I didn't know he'd changed trainers! When?

    Think he'd gone as far as possible with the vaughns

    Depends if Anderson gassing is a one off or a sign of things to come. It's no good being a 5 or 6 round fighter.

    I think you've got to group Anderson, smith and groves in a similar bracket right now.
    I think kenny would win a re match with George. But the whole situation is interesting. Smigga is going to want to come back in the mix with a meaningful fight. Enter kenny for a british title eliminator

    Combination of a short training camp and Groves hitting the body, I'd guess.. But we just don't know.

    I'd back Smith to get a decision much like he did against Dodson and Quigley, in an ugly fight. I rate Anderson around the same level as these guys. It'd be a good fight to make for sure, if Kenny can't get a rematch with Groves

    When did Smith move to Gallagher?!

    I'd tentatively go with Smith for now, need to see more of Anderson.

    Groves is better than them both. He'd beat Anderson comfortably next time around (if there is one). That was Man against Boy and Groves still pulled through. He wouldn't be half as nervous next time. Groves would **** Smith !

    Smith to Gallagher? When? What about the rest of the Smith brothers are they still with the Vaughans?
