Adam Booth, the trainer of British and Commonwealth super-middleweight champion George Groves has dismissed any thoughts of his fighter facing either Carl Froch or 168lbs world champion Andre Ward in the immediate future.
After just 14 unbeaten pro fights Groves has still got a lot to learn, especially when it comes to his defensive skills.
Speaking to the west London Sport Booth said: "It frightens me how little he knows and how much he’s got to do.
"I’ve got no problem stating what his weaknesses are at the moment. I’m telling everyone that if you fight George, look for him with the right hand because you find him.

Booth added: "I guarantee that if you do find him you won’t hurt him, but it might help me do my job because I’m telling him things and working in training and then he gets caught by Paul Smith with the right hand in the first round.
"I’ve no doubt he’ll get there, but go into a fight against someone like Ward or Froch at this stage? No.
"George is still young - he’s only had 14 fights. But I guarantee you this: when he gets there, they’ll be the ones who have things to worry about."
