    Degale, Groves, Callum Smith and Eubanks are all at SMW now.

    A four man tournament would be huge with two semis on one card and then the final on another. Surely four fighters who haven't quite crossed over to PPV level fame would be up for this to raise their profile?

    Would make sense if all have world titles (NOT IBO) Also have Mands to negotiate so i don't think it would be poss.
    Then Ramierez wouldn't have a sniff at Unification
    Love to see Groves Vs CEJ just to see CEJ on his arse!

    Why does Eubank Jn get to share their company at 168ibs?

    Martin Murray and even Rocky Fielding might have something to say about that...even Paul Smith!!!

    Can't just have something because of who your dad is, you should have to earn it.

    Murray vs Groves and Smith vs Fielding have already happened and I don't think there's much demand for a rematch of either.

    Eubank Jr would make it more interesting.

    I meant Murray/Fielding/P Smith vs Eubank mate. But you're right it would make it more interesting.

    I'd like to see those fights but I think if there was a four man tournament i think CEJ is the natural 4th man.

    Even the trainers **** talking would be entertaining. English, McGuigan and Joe G. Degale's trainer seems quite reasonable so he might have to get binned and replaced with Roger Mayweather....

    CEJ beats them and they aren't competitive, they could still happen but CEJ should be a world champion soon so will have to be in the mix.

    Haha, ok. Based on what evidence?

    Murray is a big (natural) middleweight who's been in with some of the best. Who has Eubank Jn been in a ring with?

    BJS has been is one real big fight and we know what happened there.

    He needs to get in the ring with a real operator and prove he's a step above instead of fighting some pudding for a happy meal pretend belt.

    Renold has a better resume than them 3 combined, why would CEJ want to go backwards?

    Hard one to call. I think under Shande, I would actually fancy Groves' chances a little more than usual. Unsold on Smith at world level still and for all of Degale's qualities he just can't seem to fight for an entire 12 rounds. I've no idea what Jr will be like at 168 and to be honest I'm still unsure of what to expect at 160 in some regards. Him and Smith would be a good fight.

    Never gunna happen though

    Groves has turned into a monster since the jack fight. And I want to see him win WBA then unify with degale, winner fights Smith and if he's got the WBC what a fight that would be for Britain. Then when one of them has 3 world titles don't give eubank a payday.

    You're actually joking aren't you!

    I get that you love Eubank Jr. He's an excitig fighter for sure.

    But he resume sucks. 0 momentum in his career and has lost to the only person he has stepped up with.

    Time for him to stop taking baby steps and fight someone decent.

    Eubank said he will be operating at 160 and 168 simultaneously.

    Eubank beats Groves IMO.
