James DeGale Might Actually Beat Ward and Froch

[ImStillHere]

Because Oscar-Floyd wasn't close. And even then, one judge scored for Oscar

The issue is more a UK based thing IMO. People over here seem to care more about the personality of the boxers rather than the actual skills. Carl Froch himself actually brings up the idea in this interview at the 2.20 mark



DeGale clearly won the 12th round but the two judges who scored for Groves gave him the last round just to sure things up. Again, I'm not the only one who scored for DeGale. The majority of observers did

Why would judges give a fight to Groves? Degale is a young,brash, good-looking Olympic GOLD medalist who is easy to sell. If they were gonna rip anyone off it would have been Groves. Seriously this is a ****ing joke. Your wrong, stop replying, I told you to go away.

Degale's not going to fight Ward.

No chance.

He's asked Hennessy to deliver him a title shot (or else). Who's he aiming at?

I've seen a couple of fights but not familiar with his business dealings. If they offered him the same $1 mil that they gave Edwin would he take it?

Bika or one of the other weaker belts.

He's not fighting Ward, absolutely no way.

Groves was the fan favourite because of his fake nice guy persona in the build-up. People felt sorry for the poor ugly kid

Well that answers that.

Basically Ward needs to move up. GGG would be a good fight but he needs to beat Martinez first and that won't be until the end of next year at the earliest. And I don't want to see Ward inactive and waste another year in his prime.

He's supposed to fight Periban in an eliminator. But then the WBC want the winner of that to fight Chavez Jr in a final eliminator which is ridiculous.

Chavez would be a big money fight for DeGale though so I doubt he'd complain but there's a high chance he'd get screwed on the cards again.

Moving up seems ridiculously logical to me.

Kovlaev and Stevenson are both with HBO and are both good top fights.

Ward wants the Chavez Jr fight badly. Thats the impression I get when I hear him talk

Its a money fight but its hard to justify right now. Chavez should fight Froch first. I don't think he would win but it would make the Ward fight legit.
