Comments Thread For: DeGale: I Think Froch Ducked Me, But I'm Moving On

What made sense to whom? I think he took the fight that made sense to him. The fact that you don't understand may be at the root of why you're so upset.

Why would a fight against an unknown George Groves make sense to a guy who'd just got the two biggest wins of his career and was now a bonafide PPV fighter?



Don't you think he could have fought a much bigger name?

lol you can't win with him. He's already convinced himself he's won the argument before even posting.

Yeah, I'm not that interested in winning, I just wanted to see if he had a valid point to enlighten me further. He doesn't.

Befriended? Bardock made a valid point and I agreed with it. It's weird that upsets you enough to comment on it.

First time that sentence has ever been uttered in human history.

It doesn't matter what you or I think about his motivations. The fact is, Froch wasn't prepared to give up the belt at that point in his career. Now he is... which was my original point.

The point is he could have but he chose not to. Froch chose not to give up the belt., He chose to give Groves the fight when he didn't have to and that deserves credit. And it's what Calzaghe didn't do for him.

He chose to retain the belt and therefore had to fight his mandatory.

This still going on?

Calzaghe didn't fight his mandatory (Froch, unknown domestic fighter)

Froch did. (Groves, unknown domestic fighter)

How can it be made any more simple?

[ShoulderRoll]

So, you're saying that because Froch didn't abdicate he "gave" his mandatory a shot? Don't be so ******** ******. You're not even making a point.

You're pretty thick headed aren't you? The point is that Froch did what Calzaghe didn't. He gave a young fighter a shot when he didn't have to, there were bigger money fights available to him than Groves.

Chavez is the biggest payday of the lot and it would bring the best atmosphere.

I don't know why anyone would want to see Bernard Hopkins. That fight wouldn't even make it to Vegas.

Hopkins is a greater opponent, as is GGG, as is even DeGale or Ward II or Stevenson or Pascal II or Kovalev...what has Chavez Jr done since get battered for 11.5 rounds against Martinez?
