    How can we see that improvement? Against these guys many fighters would look better. Because these fighters CANT make you look bad.

    Who has DeGale faced? He's resorted to fight nobodies in Canada ffs.

    I'm not picking you out, but there's a lot of dislike for Groves based on him as a person, the fact he is with Booth and Hayemaker and because a lot of people are DeGale fans. Waste of time.

    All you can do is look good in front of those you are asked to fight. He has been clinical in that respect and now is the time to move up. Those of us who rate him will find out if we are correct fairly soon I would hope.

    Sierra hurt him to body and Smith buzzed him at end of first round. Groves is improving and can win a world title IMO. Although likes of Gonzalez aren't legit tests to those claims lets have it right.

    Groves is an excellent technical boxer puncher. He is developing nicely. Next he and DeGale fight he willstop DeGale.

    That's right smith got him and shook him up a bit and smith is not exactly a noted puncher. Groves might prove to be a bit khan-like when he steps up in class although apart from Abraham there's not many big hitters at the weight and I'm not sold on AA's power at super middle. Froch also put him down in sparring and I think maybe Dirrell did too from memory though I could be making that up.

    Grove's needs to have a fight with a serious contender, beat him up and then...? really go after Froch.

    Grove's win over Degale is underrated aswell, Degale for all we know could school Froch badly.

    As I said many times. Groves is a knock out to happen. His chin is not solid. Also is defense is not good enough to hide it.

    Fair play to him for taking on a virtually impossible taskBut he seems tough and has a punch so the step up will be good for him
