Comments Thread For: DeGale Will Do Whatever it Takes To Land Carl Froch

JAMES DeGALE rates Carl Froch the most entertaining super-middleweight ever - and is dreaming of boxing his British rival next year. Former European champion DeGale hailed Froch's unanimous points win over Dane Mikkel Kessler last weekend as one of the best 12-stone fights in history. Both gladiators exchanged hammer blows yet somehow stayed upright and kept on slugging in a thrilling see-saw battle as Froch claimed Kessler's WBA belt. DeGale, 27, reckons he is two fights away from taking on Nottingham's superstar after landing a short-notice fight against Croatian Stjepan Bozic on Saturday. Click Here To Read More]

That was a gift he should of lost that Was a close fight I thought. I did think the other guy won though.

nah, Glen Johnson trumps anyone on Degale's record. Not the version Groves fought. ---------- I think at this stage Froch would be too strong for Degale but he would do better than some on here are giving him credit for. His biggest problem would be his tendency to sit on the ropes, which would be suicide against a bullying fighter like Froch. In the middle of the ring the fight is competitive imo. Glad to see he has the right attitude though, calling for the big fights if they come but realizing he needs to prove his credentials first. Hopefully Mick Hennessy can back up Degale's words.

A gift decision against who? He beat Wilczewski who is better than anyone Groves has been fighting. In fact, his competition in general has been better than Groves recently. That was a gift he should of lost that

Can't see degale beating froch even if he manages to land him. If he starts laying on the ropes against froch for instance he's getting bute'd

This wouldn't surprise me. Hearn has been doing a good job of handpicking opponents and hyping Groves. I hope Groves gets that Stieglitz shot, let him prove himself.

Would be a good fight. DeGale's style would cause Froch a few problems. It really wouldn't at all. Mack was a better fight than DeGale would be. Froch by graveyard punch.

Froch dominates DeGale and stops him. That's all there is to it. DeGale nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. I can't remember the last time I saw him fight and was even the slightest bit impressed. Last time I was impresed with Degale was Paul Smith and that's obviously a domestic level fight. Degale's looked horrible to me at European level. He's dreaming if he thinks he's getting the Froch fight.

I'd much rather see a Groves Degale rematch, and I'd pick Groves to make an easier night's work of it this time.

De Gale isnt no where near good enough Froch would outclass De Gale from start to finish. Same goes for Groves too and De Gale cant even beat him.

I think Froch would utterly outclass DeGale.

DeGale has regressed since the Groves fight. He's had a gift decision, and appears to like fighting on the ropes against complete cans. He should have severed ties with his inept trainer after Groves; he's going nowhere now.
