    There was a rematch clause. There is talk that Alexander will invoke it. That's why Kell Brook is having to take an interim fight before he faces Porter.

    Brook himself was offered a Tim Bradley fight but rejected it because of the options. I guess Bradley was "scared" of Brook?

    I've posted and article from a reputable source saying no rematch clause. Can you provide anything to back up your argument that there was.

    And Brook turned down the fight with Bradley, and yes, he was scared.

    Froch ain't scared, he just don't want to get schooled, take a beaten and take a heavy likely KO loss.

        The article you posted says there was no rematch clause between Broner and Maidana. Which actually turned out to be false since they are having a rematch.

        So you're saying Tim Bradley was scared of Kell Brook?

          fact is Froch is shart scared of Groves

          Keep on defending the coward

          Yes, of course. Froch, the guy Chavez Jr and GGG have expressed interest in fighting, NEEDS Groves!

          Btw, 85:15 is what Groves sought when he approached the IBF in the first instance. Its just a shame he failed to read up on the conditions of a mandatory defence...

          Remind me, did Groves rematch Anderson or DeGale? Did Groves feign injury to avoid Stieglitz? Did Groves dump the British title in the trash? Did Groves EARN a shot at Carl Froch?

          The fanboy remark is laughable, too, given your idolisation of David Haye. Do you still think Vitali and Wladimir were ducking the blown-up paper champ, and that an 'injury-free' (excuse-free) Haye KOs both of them?

            As much as DeGale dislikes Groves, he know Groves was robbed of a victory, and knows Groves out classed Froch and beat him up.

              Groves has proven he's a very good fighter, but he has no belt and isn't a huge name. He's high-risk low-reward for most opponents. Maybe if he signs with GBP he gets a shot at Bika but he doesn't really have a great number of options.
              Good post.

              Big fan of George but it's getting quite cringeworthy the way he is going on, Hearn has said he'll try to do a better deal than 85.15 but if thats what it takes to get the fight for George without options i'd just do that and put all I had into winning.

                The Khan camp were obviously confident of victory beforehand as it was a voluntary defence in Peterson's home city – with America's capital enjoying its biggest fight night since Rid**** Bowe defended his heavyweight title against Jesse Ferguson way back in 1993.


                So Garcia and Peterson were not mandatories.

                Educate yourself?

                I'm schooling you more than Groves did to Froch
                Peterson was mandatory for one of Khan's belts.

                Khan decided to put all the belts on the line. That's how I remember it.

                  Brook turned down the fight, not Braldey

                    Groves has already said he will fight Degale a long the line, and Degale has acknowledged this, theyre paths will cross again 100% fact.

                    and funny you bring up Degale, who also said if Froch doesnt fight Groves, its a duck

                    Very bad example on ur part there mate
