    It has indeed.

    It's not just his chin though, everything has gone to ****. His punches are wider and very loose, he's lost a lot of his snap, his balance/positioning seems off, he is getting hit much more often against lesser opposition...he just looks a mess.

      George has looked awful since the first fight against Froch, while DeGale has looked pretty good.

      As much as I hate to say it, DeGale wins this time around.

          It won't be DeGale v Groves for the vacant belt.

          It will be DeGale v Andre Dirrell.

            Groves has regressed under Fitzpatrick and is a KO loss away from a ruined career. DeGale on the other hand has hugely improved and looks a real future force in the division.

              The fight will be a stinker along the lines of Bellew vs Cleverly, despite their bad blood,with Chunky getting a UD.

                I went with DeGale by decision but I'm surprised there's no support for Groves at all. His stock hasn't so much fallen as crashed.

                  I would say DeGale by decision.

                    I was expecting at least one vote for George. His fall from grace is quite something. One minute he's seen by some as better than Froch and is going to conquer the world, then one brutal ko later he's a no hoper. I feel he only has himself to blame really. The way he conducted himself in the Froch rematch was pretty cringey.
