DeGale vs Groves if it ever happens who wins?

[superheavyrhun]

The fight could be on Warren has made an offer for his march show and Groves say he is going to sign and fax it back, wont hold my breathe but hopefully its on.

For f**k's sake, this isn't UK/US in the 70s.....who the f**k uses a fax to sign contracts anymore? Dig a £20 note out and get a courier one of you.

Big mistake from Groves of he has, even Booth looked worried after watching the last De Gale fight.

When I saw Groves against Adamu, I was so sure hed smoke Degale. After the Smith and Anderson fights, I changed my mind. I've voted Degale because he looks to have matured quicker. I've seen both of them fight live and I think it's just too soon to do it. They should wait because both can be be stars and could make alot of money for this fight later on.

Agreed exactly what I thought BZKFN and think just wait but it would make a good domestic fight and it would favour Degale and his team to have it now.

[somnolence]

I still want them to get it on soon, I know it'd be extremely damaging to the losers career, but I have confidence in both to achieve a lot too, so a second match up when they're higher up in the future to make them huge money would be appealing too.
Frank Warren definitely fancies it, not too sure about Booth now.

DeGale will destroy him.

Even Anderson nearly stopped him ffs.

Anderson was undefeated and a good enough fighter, no shame in Groves having problems but it is if he intends to be a world champion.

Well seeing how DeGale wants to be a world champion by 2012, the Commonwealth title is obviously going to be the next step so can definitely see this fight getting signed - even if Adam Booth doesn't seem too up for it.

Not necessarily. The BBBofC pushed for Jon Thaxton (then British Champ) to fight Amir Khan (then Commonwealth Champ) ad Warren didn't want it and avoided it like the plague. It never happened despite fans cries for it to do so. Even if they are each others mandatories, it doesn't mean the fight will happen. This is boxing, and if one doesn't want it, the fight won't happen.

That's a fair point.

When the thread was first started in October, it was fairly even between Degale and Groves, but all the recent votes have gone to Degale after he battered Smith, so I think he's really going to be a big favourite if they do get it on, and I can absolutely see why Booth maybe isn't so keen on the bout!

Before the Smith-Degale fight Booth said Groves would be the winner's mandatory for the British title. If that's the case then its a pretty logical fight to have next, as you say the commonwealth is the next step for Degale and he'd get his mandatory for the British out the way too.

I'd fancy Degale to batter him atm, the Smith fight made me believe that he can go a long way while the Anderson fight exposed a lot of flaws in Groves that Degale would have no problem exploiting.

[Master]

Either way it would be good to have the fight now. Benn and Watson fought for a domestic or commonwealth title and it did neither of them any harm in the long run.
