    Id back groves hes just got a bit more about him, more variety.

    It would be a lot closer than smith-degale

    I think on his day Groves could equally outbox Smith to a similar level that DeGale did. But the fact is that DeGale's actually done it and Groves struggled against a lesser opponent in Kenny Anderson. I'd rather see Groves v DeGale instead anyway, they're the best two domestic at 168 so why not fight? All this bollocks about waiting til they're bigger is rubbish and I can't believe people are buying it.

    I've not been that impressed with Groves. Far too much swaggering about in the ring, with not much end product. Smith will be straight at him from the off. I'm not sure Groves, at this moment in time, could handle that for round after round.

    Groves in a more competitive fight but he would stop him quicker. Anderson is better than Smith.

    Groves easy. Grove is a bit chinny but then again Smith is no puncher, althugh no one has told him that yet

    Could see a bodyshot stoppage after about 6 rounds

    I'm surprised at the lack of faith in George here.
