Comments Thread For: Froch: Not Motivated By DeGale, Didn't Earn His Stripes!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

IBF/WBA 'regular' super middleweight champion Carl Froch is not motivated to fight 2008 Olympic gold medal winner James DeGale in January. The fight does little for Froch's legacy, he says, after drawing 80,000 fans for May's rematch with George Groves. DeGale is the mandatory challenger to Froch's IBF title.

Froch may consider DeGale, if the once beaten fighter puts in a very impressive performance on November 22nd when he faces rugged opponent Marco Antonio Periban in Liverpool. Froch is still focused on landing a big opportunity in the United States, against a big name opponent on HBO Pay-Per-View. He would like to face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in Las Vegas.

DeGale got robbed against Groves, how is that for earning stripes.

B/S Groves beat DeFail hands down!

Andre Ward earned his stripes but don't ever hear a mention...I wonder why this might be and if the excuse would be promotional difficulties......Money talks.Carl must be careful, time might be cruel to him, as has it stands he isn't even the best in his own division to day, the record books will make that clear.Ward is the fight Carl should be shouting for it would fill the o2 if not bigger!!

He doesn't claim to be the best at 168 . As for Ward, he needs to stop talking and DO SOMETHING. He's badmouthing Froch and Kessler at 168, and Stevenson and KOvalev at 175 without doing anything himself.

Guy has taken a page out of the 'Andre Dirrell: How to make myself irrelevant' textbook.

And Piotr Wilczewski was robbed against DeGale...

Reasonable view by froch

When you have done as much as he has in the game and established a possible hall of fame entry then there's less that motivates you out there

He's just being honest

It's not a duck guys so calm down

I would honestly rather see Froch retire on the Groves high, than fight Degale. #

He fought Ward here, time for part 2 to happen over there. And that ain't happening so there's no fight. I see his point.
