The former super middleweight champion is confident that he would have beaten one particular fighter.

Former super middleweight champion George Groves has been involved in some of the biggest fights in British boxing. 

From his two memorable clashes against Carl Forch to beating Chris Eubank Jr in the World Boxing Series, Groves has put together a solid resume. 

But one fighter which the British star never got round to facing was boxing legend Gennadiy Golovkin. 

The Kazakh and Groves have something in common and that is both men have a win over Martin Murray, but after Murray claimed that Groves hit harder than Golovkin during their fight in June 2016, Groves is confident that he would have made easy work of the former world middleweight champion. 

"Martin Murray said after our fight that I hit harder than Golovkin. That was a feather in my cap," Groves told Betway

"If I would have ever had the chance to fight GGG I would have had to have had my wits about me, you would have to stop him stalking you. He was great at making small adjustments to get into range, then he'd detonate on you.

"It would be a mental battle where you can't switch off for a second, but I'd have bashed him up. I'd have kept it long and busted him up."
