JAMES DeGALE has put a self-imposed gag on one of the most famous motormouths in British boxing...for now!
But once super-middleweight DeGale lifts the world title, as he believes he is fated to do, then he will really let rip at his bitter rivals, including fellow Londoner George Groves.
It is a case of see, hear and speak no evil for DeGale until he becomes world champ, which could be two fights away if he overcomes unbeaten Dutchman Gevorg Khatchikian in Bristol on March 1 - live on Channel 5.

The sitting on the ropes SHOULD be over now by DeGale. He claims he has been injured and therefore his movement has been restricted.
So we will see in his next fight or two if there is an improvement.
I would hope so as sitting on the ropes against Froch is never a good place to be.
Both very Interesting fights.
He has the style to beat Froch but his habit of lying on the ropes against a guy like Carl would be disastrous. And i'm not sure he has the power to gain his respect.
The rematch with Groves is what i want to see, Groves seems to have improved more considering his recent performances. But the first was close, 2nd would be too. I don't see Groves stopping him though, Degale is pretty elusive when he wants to be
Agree with your comment about Degale lying on the ropes. Froch would land some big shots sooner or later
Don't think Groves is more of a c'nt than DeGale or Froch to be honest.
They all have their moments.
What the hell do Degale and Froch have to do with Groves?
Why are they all interlocked?
I said nothing of either Degale or Froch in regards to Groves.
Just can't see how anyone on the face of this earth bar Froch's close friends/ family and fanboys can somehow manage to think that Groves is more of a cunt than DeGale but hey ho, to each their own opinion.
Did you read what I just said or are you purposely choosing to ignore it?
Degale is just as much one as Groves is. I just dislike Groves more.
Froch has nothing to do with Groves or Degale anyway.
He's not a bigger one than Degale.
I dislike both, just Groves more so.
I used to dislike Froch more than both put together but of course you wouldn't know that. Hilarious that you consider me a "Fanboy" of Froch :pat:

No.
Because Groves is a c*nt.
Nothing to do with Froch or their fight.

Like Groves did before Froch?
I think Degale has every right to be chasing this fight. As long as one person wins convincingly in the rematch Degale is the best domestic opponent for either fighter.
And domestic fights sell.
Even though Degale only has like two fans (his mum and dad probably) who go to watch him fight, he is still a name opponent in the UK. People know who he is, and his divisive personality would generate buzz for a fight with Groves or Froch.
His biggest problem is being promoted by fat Mick.
I agree partly with what you have said but the difference with Groves and Degale is Froch had no choice Groves was mandatory and De gale is not and Groves had a win over Glen Johnson who has a big reputation and held the world title that's the difference. Yes domestically a rematch with Degale would be big but I think there would be other options for Groves in the States such as Chavez or even Ward so Degale needs to get his mandatory against Biko and then I think He and Groves will rematch but will Degale win a a world title - I'm not so sure by having his current crop of opponents he learns nothing as they are not world class - if Carl wins it will be Chavez or rematch with Ward and then he retires.

:lol1: Who are you kidding.
Only a Froch fanboy like yourself would somehow determine that Groves is a bigger cunt than DeGale.

They are both Cunts.
Froch can be a cunt at times as well.
No.

Because Groves put a beating on Froch?

Degales dreaming.
Froch and Groves are having two back to back PPVs on Sky selling out big Arenas whilst Degales fighting Window cleaners on Channel 5 infront of 26 shopping centre fans in low end cinema arenas.
I don't like Groves or Degale but I dislike Groves more, but it is what it is.
Because Groves put a beating on Froch?
We know already Froch has other plans win or lose. Who knows what Groves wants other than George Groves? DeGale will likely not be on either schedule as he's presently small fry.
No one said Groves earned the Froch fight. Froch decided to fight him because, as you have said, domestic fights sell, but if he hadn't fought Groves, no one would have cried "duck". Similarly, the Froch vs Groves winner doesn't HAVE TO fight DeGale, though the fight would certainly make financial sense.
And talking about a fight doesn't mean chasing it.
I agree that neither has to fight Degale after the rematch. I just don't see why people are SO critical of Degale after every interview he does?
Its like a little while back he said he's like to fight Ward in the future and everyone jumped on him for no reason. Just chill out people lol
Hopefully he can get himself the Badou Jack fight and start generating his own buzz again
