Just had to make some corrections there.

His last two defeats have been against reasonable fighters, Bika and Pryor Jr, but definitely no world beater!

After this idiot left Warren he turned down Matchroom to sign with Hennessy. Turns Pro as an Olympic gold medalist, five years later is a virtual nobody

Check Frochs first five years. Fought absolutely no one of note!

There is time for De Gale. Isnt he the Euro champ? Thtas further forward than Froch was 5 uears in to his career.

he is the wbc silver champ isnt he

to be fair to him hes had less than 20 fights, how many fighters with less than 20 fights would be fighting top world class fighters

i dont think his record is any worse than groves and everyone is happy with groves progress

he's just not had the same exposure

he's gone on to channel 5 and is almost like their third fighter

Froch didn't turn pro with a Gold medal and headline PPV cards in his 11th/12th fight. The point is - DeGale is less relevant now than back then. Sad

funny actually

I quite like DeGale, I think he's a top talent. He's thick as shit. But I don't hold that against people

I wanna see sweetness allan get a piece of this chump

James must have thought he had the world at his feet when he won the Olympics but after 5 years and 1 loss he is experiencing how unforgiving boxing can be.
Audley was a letdown but he stayed in the public eye. James has gone into obscurity so must be disappointed how his career is progressing especially as the new crop of Olympians have come through. The focus is on them and people have forgotten about him

He'll have an eye on froch vs groves and as long as he keeps winning he will get to world class. The guy has talent just hasn't really proven it in the pros

There is something in his style I find more interesting than Groves (as a comparison). He puts combinations together, gets in close and uppercuts.

Dont know how good his chin is but if its ok and he can sort his fitness out (although hes with Jim McDonell who sposed to be a fitness freak so youd think of anything he wouldnt get or look as tired as he has done) then he could well outwork alot of fighters. For me though he has a lot more to work on.

Groves might surprise us all and make Froch look stupid, which is something I can see and Froch knows has a chance of happening as hes already asked Groves basically to stand still before the press conference to announce the fight was even held!

Froch has a good chance of losing and then could lose to DeGale in a comeback and his career is ruined.

Since De Gale has been on channel 5 I have liked him, he seems more down to earth and humble. He will need to take his time and win a trinket.

But, compare it to Groves. Groves is running laps around the poor guy.

Groves could take a battering by Froch and that will be not good for his career.

Groves wont last long. He doesnt have a bad chin but its not world class, its not even great for british standard. He has the piss taken out of him being KO'd in sparring.

So far De Gale doesnt have any issues or rumours about his chin.
