    Can see this happening late this year.

    How does it go?

    I think Eubank stops him late in brutal fashion.

    Groves wouldn't give a **** about the IBO, like most of the other top Brits around MW & SMW.

    Firstly this isn't a unification.

    Secondly Eubank JR wouldn't take the fight. He's not interested in facing top competition as proven by his recent actions.

    Groves is levels above anyone CEJ has ever beaten and would beat BJS if he ever went north of 160 too.

    Chris eats too many jabs at the minute to beat someone who has one as pounding as George's and who is the naturally bigger man.

    Groves wins virtually every round until he stops him late, ps this is not a unification

    I've typed the same thing a few times, but variations of what you've said always come up. Let's not forget when Eubank JR took the BJS fight it was his first twelve round fight. Ever. He was supposed to lose. In fact everyone at the time was into the fashion of saying "no punch, no talent, trading on fathers name". In the end he dominated the second half of that fight just as emphatically as BJS (who I rate and like) point-scored his way to a clear win in the first half. No shame and plenty of props for a novice making that his first championship fight... unless your name is Eubank apparently.

    In any event, that was years ago and I think Eubank has improved a lot. It's fashionable again to call him a fraud because he's chosen to give promoters ballache (in a way I happen to agree is stupid), but I'm afraid for non-fans he looked pretty decent beating "Spike" (who many thought would win) and then punching Blackwell to pieces.

    Clearly everyone likes the guy anyway - look at all the threads about him.

    Just out of trivia who was the first WBA/WBC and WBA/WBC/IBF champion?

    Emile Griffith/Marvin Hagler & Muhammad Ali/Mike Tyson and all that?


    They're the oldest in the classic weight divisions etc with sifting..

    Most of you give of the orgs stick but you still haven't caught on have you?

    The orgs just care about a buck, if an IBO unification makes $$$ it makes sense.

    You would be foolish to rule it out when big money is on offer

    Funny thing is AJ vs Wlad is for the IBF, WBA and IBO title!
