Dirrell vs DeGale is the only real good fight coming up

Really looking forward to this fight.Both are 2 of the top guys in their div. Canelo / Kirkland might be more exciting and if Porter / Broner get made that be good fight too. 2015 has been fire so far and I think it going to continue

I think Canelo vs Kirkland will be a better fight without the clinching and holding Dirrell will almost certainly do. Agreed, pointless thread when Canelo Kirkland is this weekend. Are we hardcore fans supposed to be such uptight pricks now that we intentionally disregard potentially action packed fights??

These casuals say boxing is dead ??? This has potential to be a great fight. Degale looks like he's ready to take that next step but this can be a great comeback fight for Direll, been looking forward to this one.

Lmao.... If dude is his best opponent at the time, then that's exactly what a "step-up" is... It was a step up for both guys... Yes and No. It is up to you how you want to define it. Both Degale and Groves were mixing with British level opposition. How can Degale be stepping up when he was already the champ of UK? Stepping up to what level? They were the best opponents for each other at that level. A step up would be Degale right after that fight winning the European title against a 30 fight veteran going from domestic to continental level opposition. Incredible for a 13 fight novice. Then he stepped up against Gonzalez for the IBF spot. Point being Degale has stepped up his opposition in the past. This is not the first or second time.

Fighting Groves was not a step up in class at the time. Both guys were each others best opponents. Lmao.... If dude is his best opponent at the time, then that's exactly what a "step-up" is... It was a step up for both guys...

Degale vs dirrell is very compelling because it's really a crossroads fight for both guys.. Degale can't afford a 2nd loss, both times when he stepped up in class Dirrell has wasted a lot of his career due to inactivity, and can't afford a loss or it will really set him back Neither guy can afford a loss..

Action wise Selby-Gradovich is better because one is an aggressor and the other who likes to box that style and tee off that type of come forward fighter. Point being at least one will be pushing the action. Degale-Dirrell will be more of a chess match.
