Comments Thread For: James DeGale is Confident: I Can Beat Carl Froch!

[Kagami Taiga]

Not going to criticise DeGale for wanting to fight the best or believing in himself but he might be better picking another champion for his title shot e.g. Abraham.

i doubt he beats him either.

DeGale's ceiling isn't as high as we once thought...

I think he peaks as a contender and that won't be for a few more years, Froch stops him early at this point. Can't see DeGale vs Froch happening until Groves has had his way with the Cobra at the end of his career...

I'm not so sure. Prior to the Bute fight, Bunce had this to say:

I've said this before in this column, but make no apologies for repeating: more British fight fans paid to watch Groves v DeGale last year than have paid to watch any of Froch's last six fights. DeGale - and by the way, who knows what he's doing next - is an Olympian and a big name; people want to see this fight.

DeGale might be a decent payday for CF and he'll likely be willing to go to Froch's backyard.
