James Degale vacates IBF world super-middleweight title

Seems weird that Groves is negotiating when he has the final in front of him.

My initial thought before hearing of the Groves rumours, was BJS.

Groves is contracted to Sauerland promotions, so I can’t see them letting him bail out of the WBSS even if he did want to.
I reckon it’s more of a fight to happen after the Smith fight, win or lose there’ll be decent money in it.
Probably DeGale v BJS he’s waiting for Groves.
One way or another, DeGale has really fucked up his earning potential over the years imo.

De Gale is a shot fighter and all the signs show he wants to cash out against the highest purse he can get. I think that is by facing the Groves v Smith winner.

DeGale is good. Not great. Like Eubank. Good. Not great!

I don’t think Eubank Jr. Can be put in the same bracket, overall career wise. Maybe a fight between them would be closer now because DeGale is shot, but I still reckon he would outclass Eubank Jr.

He wasn't going to beat Uzcategui. And he knew it

Yea at this point it's a cash out fight or 2. The money from a Uzcategui fight/ lose wouldn't be sufficient.

I wouldn't mind a Eubank fight. Still think DeGale has to much for Jr.

Agreed DeGale would end u p in a box if he fought him.

You're right. Looks like Jr. is not gonna win a major world title anytime in his career. Regular WBA titles or a IBO/WBU titles won't cut it. Either you win the WBA Super, IBF or WBC. WBO would be "ok".

If you do not hold the WBA Super Champ status. IBF or WBC belt, or two of the three, you really ain't a champion, my brother.

DeGale is not on the up but on the way down he is cashing in I am afraid he will take a beating his last three fights he was pretty poor easy to hit and getting marked up a lot.!
