Go Chunky.....Go Chunky.....Go Chunky!!!

James DeGale wants a shot at Carl Froch...after disposing of Gonzales...he deserves it

They showed Chunky the Froch knockout...he said it was a good punch...but Groves should have never allowed it to land in the first place

David Haye says DeGale causes any fighter problems because of his Calzaghe-esque style of fighting...where there is no style...the punches come from all different angles

Now Carl Froch is a great pressure fighter...quite often he starts slow...but builds up momentum to wear you down

DeGale has got the tools to take away that momentum...DeGale has got the defence to avoid what Groves didn't

The only man from this island possible of beating Froch is DeGale...it's gonna be tough...but I think he can do it

You gotta get them in that ring Eddie Hearn...they are gonna make you rich and give us all another great fight night

HE'S CHUNKY.....HE'S CHUNKY.....HE'S CHUNKY

I don't know why steffan, but I enjoy that your a chunky fan.

I agree Stef but for some reason Froch wants Chavez and for the life of me I just can't see the appeal unless he wants to face him in Vagas on Cinqo de mayo or whatever its called and make lots of swan song money.

Haye says Degale fights like Calzaghe he must be drunk to make that statement,how does he beat Froch,doesn't hit hard enough to stop Froch in his tracks,goes on the ropes for a breather,tires halfway through fights and has been hurt by non punchers.
No value fight for Froch vacate one of the titles and let some other mug fight Degale.

Froch deals with Degale easily enough, degale has shown he can't fight 3 minutes a round and Froch will just walk him down

He's a decent defensive boxer, but still gets hit a lot on the ropes and his slap punches and flicky jab wont bother froch. As he showed against groves, froch can jab against quicker fighters with quicker reflexes and groves has a better jab than james

It sounds like Hearn has promised him a shot at Froch going off Degales post fight interview. He was asked what if Froch opts to vacate or fight someone else and Degale said that he had fulfilled his end of the deal and now it was on Hearn to deliver his end. Hearn must have promised him a shot at Froch.

I think Degale gives Froch a hard fight, and Froch is aging..

His speed is probably faster than Groves, and his power is enough to trouble people despite what some say. Degale has a better engine than Groves and does not burn up as much energy doing what he does and fights in a more relaxed way..

My only worry with that is he does still get caught with silly shots.. which Froch could nail him with..

Would be a good fight though, I could not call it as Degale can impress one minute then look not so great the next, certainly if an on the ball Degale came into the fight I would say he could out point Froch..

Hearn cant put a gun to any fighters head, however, he has made Degale mandatory for the belt, and Froch would have to drop the belt if he wanted to fight someone else or make a deal with Degale..

He cant hold a gun but he can more or less decide. He calls the shots. Froch wants Chavez but all Hearn has to say is that Chavez wants too much money or too difficult to deal with.

I got the impression from the way Degale said Hearn had to deliver that he was given an explicit promise that he would face the winner.

Frankly Id be surprised if Chavez was interested in Froch who is big in the UK but nothing huge in the U.S. He turned down mega money to face Golovkin and can make good money fighting whoever.

Plus Hearn I think would favour another all British showdown on ppv.

I can't imagine Froch ever agreeing to fight DeGale, makes no sense for him whatsoever.. Financially theres bigger fights out there, legacy wise DeGale adds nothing to his record either.. I think Froch will want Chavez.. failing that I think he would settle for Kessler again !! personally I feel he should go for GGG/Ward/Stevensen/kovalev.. Preferably GGG at Vegas or Ward in England...

He will fight Degale if there is a good chunk (see what I did there) of money in it for him and the alternative is giving up his title. If not the next fight then the one after.

Id love to see him step up and face Kovalov or accommodate GGG. Just to see how far that chin of his can hold up. Id fancy both to stop him but they would be 100% guaranteed quality fights.

A Chavez fight is a waste of time.

I just can't see the Degale fight ever happening myself, I think Froch would rather relinquish his titles and chase other fights.. (Chavez/Kessler)

I think his chin would hold up/ I honestly would fancy Froch against both of them, in fact I would fancy him against any fighter from middle to Light Heavy with the exception of Ward and Hopkins.

Agreed Chavez total waste of time, no point in it.. Though after the fights Froch has took I wouldn't begrudge him it.

It will be Chavez but it should be Golovkin, I think he would be GGG's worst nightmare to be honest, somebody he can't hurt with every punch and will make him work at a pace he isn't used to.

As for Chavez well unless he ages ten years before they get in the ring he wins with ease, anybody who needs a gift or two to beat Zbik and Vera isn't beating any of the top men at 168lbs. He deserves the payday but a fight with any big name will make him a shedload of money, Degale, GGG and Chavez would be a nice end to a stellar career.
