Comments Thread For: DeGale: Froch's Motivation Talk is Bollocks, Chatting ****

[Wicky]

Do we really want to see a fighter take load of punishment because he can ? and lets face it for someone who is as limited as Jr. it's possible that it's not just his career that gets ruined....sorry Wicky not for me !

I'm not trying to sell it, I'm just commenting on its $ appeal to the masses and why Froch is chasing it over DeGale. I'd prefer to see Froch fight GGG personally.

Plus, I think you're doing Chavez Jr an injustice. He's a former champ who's defended the WBC belt multiple times and has only been beaten once in 48 fights by a guy who was #3 P4P at the time. He's also never been KO'd. I know he's written off by many as a joke, but it's not like the guy can't handle himself.

Yeah sure. I wasn't really disagreeing with you, just saying what I think Froch wants & why. Thanks for the banter thought

Clev I think, but v.close. Much is made of Bellew's power, but I think apart from the Kovalev fight Clev has looked increasingly strong. He's slicker & quicker than Bellew – I think that'll be the difference. Who've you got?

What are the odds? Close fight so risky for even money.

Froch is desperate to fight in Vegas like Calzaghe did,he wants to emulateCalzaghe's achievements so is resume when his career is a wrap is comparable,thus his desperation in calling out the aged Kessler.

A Chavez Jr Vegas win unfortunately does not compare to a win over Hopkins in his prime.

DeGale holds the keys to unlocking the fragile empire Froch has built on a close win over Kessler,and the destruction of undefeated yet limited Groves and Bute !

I was of the opinion DeGale did not deserve this fight yet I have since watched the Groves fight where upon Groves steals a decision in a fight I believe DeGale actually won by at least a round,possibly two.Degale appears to have a sterner chin than Groves as well as a much better conditioning and stamina.

If Froch is afraid to stake his reputation against his fellow Brit he should relinquish his belt.

Man I really love when a boxer tries and successfully fits the word "bollocks" into some good old fashioned **** talk
