Carl Froch to Vacate IBF title

Well they apparently haven't agreed a deal with Dirrell yet so anything is still possible. :fingersx:.....

So its not Degale-Groves 2 for the IBF after all. Thank God.. I prefer Degale and Groves against the Dirrell bros. It makes one more good fight. Well they apparently haven't agreed a deal with Dirrell yet so anything is still possible.

what you mean? you think Groves is calling shots? DeGale has looked good recently while groves' stock has fell, just cause of his lack luster performances. DeGale is Manditory while Groves is #4. Degale even with his close disputed loss to groves is now above groves, DeGale is fighting for a world championship either way. Groves needs Degale nour days http://www.boxingscene.com/george-groves-eddie-hearn-im-not-your-whore--86979 Made official @jamesdegale1 is due to face @andredirrell for IBF title vacated by Froch.

You can say that about Andre but Anthony is the WBC champ. Groves vs Degale II makes alot in the financial sense but it down to Groves whether he's will to fight Degale again. what you mean? you think Groves is calling shots?

Nobody cares about the Dirrell brothers. Groves vs DeGale II makes lots of cash. You can say that about Andre but Anthony is the WBC champ. Groves vs Degale II makes alot in the financial sense but it down to Groves whether he's will to fight Degale again.

Is it finalized? I thought its gonna be Degale against Andre Dirrell and Groves against Anthony Dirrell.. Nobody cares about the Dirrell brothers. Groves vs DeGale II makes lots of cash.

Not with Andre back in the picture. You can't compare Dirrell's credentials to Froch lol. Froch is boxing's ultimate man. Dirrell is a complete b1tch.

Smart move by him. He has no need for that worthless piece of trinket. Big enough name to do the right things for him. Let the unknown quantity get past his inferior first, and enhance the public demand for their fight. Meanwhile, take a big money fight, let the trinket wait, and then take it back from the winner of these lesser two. This way Froch will win on all accounts.

When You on Froch Level you dont need a belt everyone knows he the Man in the division.

Froch may as well dump it...

Doubt this will actually happen...and a better plan IMO was for both guys to win belts and then go in for a unification, would make more money and would be more exciting, as well as being much more relevant and legitimate. :boxing:

Why not Degale vs Andre Dirrell? How can Groves get an IBF eliminator out of nowhere? Beats me... groves is ranked number 4 and degale and dirrell 1 & 2 respectively so it boggles my mind as well
