Comments Thread For: Eubank Jr: DeGale Grudge Match is Up There with Froch-Groves 1

[Buggy bear]

Another over privaliged snowflake , who does this "kid" think he is for f...k sake , the only interest in this self hyped over inflated egotistical maniac is in finding out after the event what crap he will come out with when he loses ..that said he does have natural ability but it's to late to progressive at a certain level now..his only chance is if degale has gone back over 50%.. and I think there is a good performance left in him at the level Eubank is at .. Olympic champion v limited pro with no amateur experience ..

Alot of these UK guys are delusional. I mean at this point is this fight even a big deal over there? I remember Froch Groves2 being a MUUUUUUCH bigger deal.

[P4Pdunny]

Eubank is deluded but whats new

[c3dryk]

no, it's not! not even close

In terms of rivalry, sure

In terms of excitement - no
In terms of talent - no
In terms of anyone giving a **** about this fight - no.

Not sure euban k is top ten now. But good that degale isn't ducking him anymore after losing sparring sessions?

eubank has elite level ego.

[apollocreed]

chris eubank is national level, he is nothing like groves.

And you know, DeGale had the intention of being like Froch, he actually tried with a tough set of opponents, but he fell by the wayside. He really set out to be an elite, but failed grandly and seems to have settled into a sub-world delusional grandeur than kept joe calzaghe keen for 10 years.

You're talking like Degale is a failure, that's bollocks. He won and defended his world title in the US, an headlined a unification at Barclays. He didn't win it, but he didn't lose it either.
His achievements are solid.

Calzaghe is in the hall of fame too btw, he's almost universally acknowledged as the best ever at 168.

I was referring to the level above world, if he was aiming to be elite then I take it assumed he must have got to solid world class.

is he ***, several have eclipsed him already and its only been 8 years, nor did he top some who came before him. Sure hes backdoor hall of fame though by getting his unrecognised defences "retro-recognised".

not even on terms of rivalry

groves froch 1 was a legit grudge match as carl looked down on groves and groves didnt respect froch, genuine hate there

eubank and degale dont like each other because they needed to to sell the fight
