    Sturm has more gas in the tank than Mikkel. His last two fights were at SMW and could've gotten the decision for both. Recognizable name, experienced veteran and basically as you put it for Kessler "ticks all the boxes".

    "First defense" being the operative words here.
    Where did I mention Kessler? Kessler is at least a Super Middleweight and a much bigger name.

    Felix Sturm lost to a guy with 12 fights. No one knows who he is over here really.

      You seemed okay with Kessler in a previous thread, so based on that.

      Chudinov is not your usual 12 fight pro. Kinda like making fun of Donaire losing to Rigo with only 10 fights.

      Anyways, what do you think is a good fight? minus Froch.

          I asked what "you" think. Deflection much?

          Yeah, Bute is a good one.

            That is what I think, any of those names would be fine. How is that "deflection"?

            What a mong. Take a break from the site. You sound emotional with every post.

              Groves has looked like **** since getting knocked cold by Froch. He's been getting hit more, he looks loose in his punching technique which leaves him wide open and he doesn't seem to have the confidence to throw with full power.

              DeGale will batter the post-Froch version of Groves who looks like a very faded fighter.
              I'm telling you, Groves needs to beg Adam Booth to take him back.

              Since leaving he's looked progressively worse and sloppy.

                Honestly, Degale wasn't a world champion and hadn't done anything spectacular besides fighting on Groves' undercard. Groves not only beat him the first time, but had also been headlining two massive PPV events + bringing in better ratings.

                There's no doubt he should get a higher share of the purse than Degale. Vacant title or not.

                Now though, it's a different scenario altogether with Degale being world champion.

                  You would think two Degale bumsniffs would be able to get along.

                    Says the guy who now hangs off of other people's quotes disagreeing/slating me.

                    Anyways, you sounded diplomatic with "the names that were mentioned".

                      I thought Degale won close but clear, Groves winning was a surprise and at that stage I was more pro groves than pro degale.

                      Anyway theres a lot of options for Degale

                      Froch would be a superfight
                      Groves rematch would do very well
                      Kessler is a very sellable fight
                      Bute not a bad option
                      Abraham or Sturm to unify two belts.

                      All very winnable, i would suggest Ward but i dont think either of them would fancy it just yet
