    If it's mid-December, do you think Anderson will take it after all his complaints about being under-trained?

    Groves-Anderson II should be made for early 2012. Groves needs to perform better this time around and IMO he will. Then possibly Magee or Brinkley.

    Yeah i think Kenny would take the fight. I'd rather it happened Januray or February though so both have a full camp.

    In an ideal world:

    1. Non-title, keep-busy 6-8 rounder on a decent undercard before Xmas

    then

    2. Anderson rematch Feb/March

    then

    3. Final British defense against Magee May/June

    then

    4. World title Sep/Oct

    Brinkley isn't an option. Nor is Asikainin considering he's retired.

    Ornelas is a great shout though, Anderson II is the most likely option I would imagine, and a sensible one, might as well prove that it was his own fault first time around and that he's grown as a fighter.

    I would like to see Degale defend against Anderson next and Groves take on Jeffries.

    However, I can't see anyway that Maloney lets Groves anywhere near jeffries.

    Don't really see why he should fight Anderson again. He will easier this time as he is getting better and better. The truth of the matter is that he will always beat DeGale and can beat him different ways. I can see him stopping DeGale next time. The power he displayed last night is not new just showed what he capable of.
