    I can see Groves winning a world title as well, he is a class act.

    Very much in the mold of Haye.Even talks like him. Will need to tighten up defensively,
    but definately one to watch.

    Jeffries is so basic. He made so many mistakes. He's okay but a long way off true class. In terms of boxing IQ and skills, Groves would beat him right now. DeGale is awful as well but has a bit of speed which can cause problems.

    Groves v Sutherland would have got the juices flowing.

    I dunno if its because there trained by Adam Booth but he's got a bit of David Haye about him.

    Very impressed by him last night, good defence, good timing, good power, throws feints well and is very patient aswell. One of our best up and comers for sure.

    To think that I got shot down when I said he was my pick to go furthest out of the prospects. The bloke is head-and-shoulders above the majority of other British prospects, IMO, and I am genuinely excited about the bloke as he can only keep improving; refreshing to hear yesterday that he wants to improve on his defence. He's been getting world-class sparring and the proposed stint with Abraham in the future will only serve to make him better as well. We have got some fantastic prospects coming through but Groves and Gavin are the ones to watch, for sure:good.

    Kinda disapointed in the lad last night. He hit the eurobum with everything but never looked like stopping him. I think I could have beaten the 12 year old boy he fought last night.

    No, I wasn't. In fairness, you were supporting Groves as well. It was someone else, who's username escapes me:good.
