    I'd say Abraham or Steiglitz. Possibly even Magee as a tune up for the big leagues.

    Thoughts?

    Hes ranked no2 by the wbo now so a shot at Abraham is likely

    Not sure what Magee has left in the tank in terms of being a valuable tuneup but do think he could do with another fight or two before AA. I'd probably have him as a slight favourite to beat AA but it would be potential challenges that would follow that he maybe isn't quite ready for. Booth and his fighters do seem to like to move quickly though!

    Allan green then abraham. Green would be a good fight for a few rounds he still has some power and is competitive for a few rounds. Groves by ko tho.

    It wouldn't surprise me if it was Abraham next or a fight in America again with Goldenboy

    Booth believes in getting in, doing what you need to do then get the **** out with all your faculties intact

    Abraham, if not next then soon after. The WBO are **** at making mandatorys but ***** & the Sauerlands get on well so I reckon the fight can be made.

    Arthur has his confindence back & looked good last night, I think he'll stop Groves.

    I think Groves needs one fight more before AA, and AA can fight another bum meanwhile.

    This.

    No point in rushing Groves, he still needs a bit more schooling before taking on Abraham, Stieglitz will be a tough test for Groves.

    I don't think Groves is ready for Abraham yet. He should fight someone decent like Green or Bouadla first and possibly a rematch against Degale before stepping up to the big leagues.

    Is Bika still around? That would be a good fight if he is.
