    I like the look of this George Groves Kid, he seems to have a nice skillset, pretty good handspeed, some solid pop on his shots, good movement and decent accuracy when he picks his shots correctly.

    How do you see 2012 panning out for him?

    I think he'll win rematches with Anderson and DeGale before watching the world end on the 21st of December and realising it was all for nothing.

    I'm a fan of the Saint, me personally don't see the point in fighting DeGale this year, should let that build be a potentially great World title fight. Would expect Groves to handle Kenny fairly easily this time and no doubt he will have a alphabet inter continental World title by the end of the year :deal

    He seems pretty level headed and very determined, which is always good.

    The only way this post makes any sense is if he's confusing George Groves with Kell Brook

    Groves impressive KO of Smith has me looking forward to his next fight.

    He should wait a couple of years before a rematch with DeGale, let them both build up their resumes between now and then.

    The Khan comment is from an interview on Sky Sports News after Groves beat DeGale. The presenter asked Groves who was next, then suggested a fight with Khan.

    George Groves and Kell Brook are the most exciting young British talents, in my view, by some distance this year. Add Nathan Cleverly who already has a world title, and you're laughing.

    I expect big things from all 3 this year, and personally can't wait to see each of them fight.
