George Groves vs....

Post by SAPFO »

Who is next for St Groves...


This kid has massive support now. I reckon 2 more wins and he is bona-fide PPV material if he can do it.

Rematch. Makes absolute sense.

Groves-Degale II + Cleverley-Bellew will do very good numbers.

I wouldn't mind seeing him in with Brian Magee! Maybe a bit early but in the words of Hayemaker 'a calculated risk' imo

Not if he adopts a backfoot counter-punching style fulltime. I would like him to keep it but I like watching that kind of boxing - many don't.

Who next - bring over a decent if slightly shopworn American over 10 rounds.

Abraham would KO Groves. That is too big of a step up at this point.

I don't want to see an immediate rematch - although I guess the numbers will dictate. I would like to see him back on "normal" sky - build a fan base.

I think Kenny Anderson is owed a rematch, Kenny was a last minute subsitute and gave George all kinds of problems. That would be my next fight.

Then I would build him on towards the EBU title and then in 12 months time - Steiglitz.... then see where Degale is at.

Remember, most like the underdog and most are happy with the result - but it was a dull sparring session for the most part.

Someone like Brinkley would be decent for next opponent, unless he wants to defend the British

Still think it's a bit soon to be sticking George in with serious world-level operators. Someone like Jesse Brinkley, if Groves could keep the British title, would be interesting. A rematch with Kenny Anderson would do him no harm either.

He should let DeGale stew :TU:

Coming off such a high profile win there is a danger of people wanting to see him moved too fast. Remember despite the publicity it was for the British title against a guy with ten fights and he won by the narrowest of narrow margins.

Allan Green at this stage would be crazy talk.

Allan Green? Abraham? No way! The kid is still a work in progress and has only has 13 fights. He is nowhere near ready for that level. I think the following would be suitable opponents for his next fight;

Paul Smith

Tony Quigley (Though maybe he needs a win under his belt and at super middleweight)
http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer

Lolenga Mock (He floored David Haye, despite only being a super middleweight!)
http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer

William Gare

Tony Dodson (If he can make weight)

I Would head him down the European route personally.

Wilczewski holds the European crown and he is very very beatable, Groves would blow him away in 6 rounds for me, Whether they can make the fight is another
thing but if they can thats the route to go, that will be Brit,Comm and European titles, Then either a world crown or make Warren pay for the priviledge of a rematch
for Degale, there ain't no way Groves should sell himself short and I am sure Booth won't let him

If Degale wants it bad enough, switch the purses around and let Degale fight for Groves money and give Groves Degales purse this time.

I'd love it if he were a popular, charismatic and exciting fighter that fought off PPV. I sincerely hope that PPV diminishes; for domestic and ordinary World Title bouts I cannot see the reasoning for it.

Don't wanna see a DeGale rematch yet. Anderson is the perfect opponent, and he said he'd box Groves for free!

Peter Manfredo Jr - would do wonders for his stateside profile, plus he'd win comfortably
