Comments Thread For: DeGale on Froch: He is a Bit Scared, Looking For Excuses

If the fight gets made then Degale is getting Froch at a great time. DeGale's got skills, but I reckon even an old Froch beats him.

I just don't think froch can get excited about a domestic fight with Degale when he has big options like chavez or possibly GGG available.

Froch has a superiority complex when it comes to British fighters. He thinks he's above all of them, which I suppose he is but it doesn't mean they're bad fights and they actually do most to boost his profile. He's rightfully arrogant with a hard earned huge ego. At this point though I think it's less about superiority over other British fighters and more about banking the biggest paydays and the kudos of headlining in Vegas. DeGale is well beneath Froch, in the same way that Froch was beneath Calzaghe. That's true for all fresh, up-and-coming fighters calling out battle weary champs in the twilight of their career. DeGale is where Froch was before the Super6. He needs to earn his stripes elsewhere. Ward would fight him but I doubt DeGale will go looking for that.

Good point, I get that impression about Froch too sometimes, although I guess he's kind of always had that self-belief it's not as if he's ever held back his opinion, even when he was calling out Joe Calzaghe all those years ago. So that's just Froch and I think that confidence has definitely benefited his fight game. But I said time and again, Froch vs Degale needs to happen. Froch already beat potentially one of Britain's next 168 world class boxers, but there happens to be at least one other 168 world class UK boxer and Degale deserves the fight just as much as Groves did because a lot of people, including myself and Carl Froch, thought Degale beat Groves.

"Scared" . Hmmmm. That's a fairly crude way to try and get a fight. Like Froch would drop Chavez Jr for DeGale because his pride was hurt after being labelled "scared". Idiot. DeGale is a nobody trying to become a somebody. He should be aiming to set the record straight with Groves... that's more his speed.

Just fight Gennady, please.

For Froch legacy he should fight fighters that can bring the same amount of followers than he has. These up and coming fighters need to shut the hell up and fight. Your opportunity will come one day. Froch has earn whatever he chooses

The day anybody in boxing is scared of DeGale will be a sad one. He's a solid fighter, but he means even less for Froch than the first Groves fight...and Froch wasn't exactly excited about that one either. Bigger, better, more important fights are on the table.

DeGale is in the position to demand fights, you clearly didn't read the article. Well he's in a position to demand a shot at the IBF belt, but didn't Froch JUST fight two mandos in a row? I'm struggling to make sense of them at the moment. Anyways, I feel if Froch is pushed into a corner with DeGale, he'll drop the belt, and so he should. Froch-DeGale.... I mean, meh. I need a trip to Vegas man, or give me Kessler or GGG. Watching Degale pitty pat Froch for 12 rounds is just not a right sort at the moment.

going to be hard for froch to be in a bigger fight than the last two he needs vegas next degale is a step backwards as for froch being scared I doubt it the guys a warrior Ranked number 7 and better fighter than the three above him (Edwin Rodriquez, Abraham and Stieglitz) yeah sure a step backwards... DeGale is in the same position Thurman is in, he has fought everyone put infront of him I ain't his biggest fan but he should get a title shot or Carl should vacate that belt.

degale lost to the guy who froch knocked out twice, degale is in no position to demand fights DeGale is in the position to demand fights, you clearly didn't read the article.

going to be hard for froch to be in a bigger fight than the last two he needs vegas next and degale is just a step backwards at this point of his career as for froch being scared I doubt it the guys a warrior

I honestly just think Froch doesn't give two shyts about DeGale. My thoughts exactly.

Froch probably is scared of fighting Degale, because it would mean his dream of topping the bill in Las Vegas was over. Beating Degale would be good for his legacy though, as I believe Chunky will win world titles at super-middleweight in the future. He just doesn't bring enough to the table to make it a worthwhile fight for Froch at the moment.

DeGale is talented, but Froch walks through him & knocks him out.

Degale is a good fighter and would give Froch a difficult fight, but Froch doesn't need to fight Degale! it'll do nothing for his legacy, it won't bring much money, it's not the dream Vegas fight and it would be a difficult fight even if he wins. I think Froch beats Degale because Degale sits on the ropes to much which is a mistake against Froch.
