    Smith is crap and fought no one. Groves once he is capable of going 12 will make Smith look stupid.

    Smith has been on a 'bum of the month' tour since he turned pro, and got what many people described as a gift decision against a fairly ordinary champion in Quigley, who has a stoppage loss to a young Cleverly.

    Hardly the sort of opponent that will have Groves quaking in his boots, is it?

    Dare I say it, if you take Quigley away from Smith, Groves's resume is almost par, with the first round win over Samuels and the 8 round decision against that tough dude on the Haye undercard :lol:

    Nothing against Smith at all, but Groves is something special IMO.

    I dont understand why alot of people over rate Smith on this board, am I seeing something else?? I have seen him in about 7/8 fights he is ****ing garbage. I cant believe some people think he will be a world champ it's ****ing crazy. If the fight was made tomorrow id put the house on Groves.

    Ha I added that bit just for you. :good

    I waqs kidding. Kenny is a class fighter and tough and hopefully this year is his turn to get in the title mix. Gutted about the last fight ****ing up. Keny to be SMW champion by the end of the year if he gets the fights. Him and Groves next year would be a war.

    I would like to see Anderson fight the winner of Dodson/Smith. He beats them both imo.

    I would like to see Keeny fight anyone. He can be a a good fight for any of the current top 5/6 super middles in Britain.

    I'm not Smith's biggest fan but to say Groves would stop him and make him look stupid is a ****ing joke, Groves power is very over-rated he's been fighting light middle/middle weights most of the time there is no way he would stop Smith, infact there is a much higher chance Smith would bully Groves about for 5/6 rounds before he stopped him, Groves has chin issues, he's the biggest hype job in Britian.

    He looks average against average competition. Can I really see him against Ward, Kessler, Bute, Pavlik or Sturm? He gets dominated and hurt.

    At 154 he has a chance but even then against Spinks and co I think he would struggle.

    not really the word i'm looking for. unless genetically or due to illness, boxers should look sensational, unbelievable, fantastic etc

    they are athletes after all.

    You criticise Smith's CV and then say that you see Anderson beating them?

    Have you had a quick glance at Kenny's record?

    The way I see it, Groves will be the pick of the bunch in about 18 months, but for the time being the Scouse triangle is at the top of the pack for a reason. Need to see a lot more from Anderson for him to be mentioned in that breath.

    This stoppage was premature.
