huge announcement!

The saint has stated huge news next week! Got a feeling degale rematch could be on, eddie hearn said last week he and SauerlandBros have been working on something big together!

GO CHUNKY...GO CHUNKY...GO CHUNKY!!!

Oh when the saint. ....... goes marching in......!!!

DeGale will outchunk Groves this time. Late stoppage I reckon

It's really is one to get excited about. Both are class no doubt and are reaching peak very rare these occasions happen. Being a massive st George fan I do have to admit he will have to up he's game to beat degale who has looked sensational and thoroughly deserves hes chance at the top. I get a bit frustrated with gg he should have coasted to victory in froch 1 and still think splitting with booth was a mistake.

I agree with Steffy.............The difference between this and the first fight Is Groves has been stopped and knocked out and looked average coming back.......Degale looks sharper than ever and also.........I scored it a draw last time...and let's face it who would have argued if Degale had won ??

Personally If I was Degale I'd bag a world title first he's good enough!!.........End of the day you want to be known as an Ex-World Champion.......

Save your best efforts for when it really matters.....The money will still be there in six/eight months time..and you'll get more of it !!

Title and then Groves would be my advice !!

Groves is still the bigger draw tho and degale needs him more than Vice versa. Groves is still capable of the froch 1 performance and the ko in the 2nd was one of those things which can happen in any boxing match, its obviously effected him but he's won both fights sonce convincingly. He's more than capable of beating degale.

When I saw the thread title, I thought this was another poster announcing his retirement from the board!

If it is GG v jdg great  fight but I'm with trussy, it would have been good if either of them picked up a belt first. 

Do we know it definitely isn't dirrell? GG v dirrell, jdg v Abraham (assuming he beats smith again)... Winners meet. 

Froch will still be sitting in a carpark in Vegas with a pen and a contract, hoping chavez junior happens by.

ha I don't think I post enough to retire! Not definitely happening at all Just gg and SauerlandBros have said announcement next week. Could well be dirrel! I hope it is and can see gg winning it in vegas as a poor bitter froch watches on!

That would be priceless

If it is a rematch with DeGale I hope its announced by that rapper who walked him to the ring, 'it's chuuuuunky'

Just think it would be ironic if gg won the geen belt vegas as froch hasn't stopped banging on about how it's hes right to box there!

Froch is a nob though

That was embarrassing wasn't it !!

Save it for when you're a champ Son...........

Forget the Taliban...I think we should waterboard all rappers instead !!

Froch is loathable

Your loathing anything to do with Calzaghe being Welsh ??

I think double figures is enough for a retirement thread fella. It's not the volume, it's the degree of neediness!

Groves dirrell in Vegas would be hilarious. Unlikely but hilarious.

Nah. Because the Slimester can say whatever he wants and it doesn't matter. Sadly for Froch...he ain't no Joe

Use to like froch I met him and he was a nice guy. But can't stand him now , the rubbish he talks about gg since they met turns Really gets me! he says the 2nd fight was a one sided schooling and groves is now finished he's been cobed'ed! The guy is deluded And arrogant beyond belife! if he was a bit more humble and truthful I think he would be liked alot more.

I have to say I haven't got as much faith in DeGale's talents as some on here. Groves had much the better fight experience also.

Despite the losses to a real top level fighter in Froch my pick in this fight would be Groves.

Groves is a proper puncher something I haven't seen much of from DeGale. There's been a lot of water under the bridge since the first fight.

You should of retired a long time ago then milkyboy! Why do you think dirrel gg is so funny being in vagas?

Because froch is desperate to land a fight in vegas

Yeh, I was agreeing with you rycoys. Because I'm almost as needy as froch and was trying to suck up to you, to see if you'd be my friend.

Froch has put too much emphasis on Vegas. He sold out 60 000 seats in an hour, fought in front of sold out arenas. Okay he didn't headline a major Vegas card, and Calzaghe did... and Nas did... and Lennox did... and Chavez did it, and just about everyone Heck even Wladimir did, but a location shouldn't come in front of quality of opposition.

Plus none of them sold out Wembley so he should shut his titties and fight ggg

Not going to happen, both fighters have mandatory shots and would lose them if they lose, why would either want to risk it?, makes no sense to take that fight now, especially as if they both win straps it makes it an even bigger fight.

I think i might be Anthony Dirrel Groves..

I wonder if Hearn is referring to Anthony Joshua v Price?

Hearn could engineer Froch to be stripped and Degale to fight Groves for the IBF. Froch has made it clear he only wants to face Chavez.

roch claims he wants the Vegas fight but its not as if Chavez is the only opponent that can do Vegas.

Im sure Golovkin could accomodate him...

Oh I see! sorry milkyboy I read it wrong way! Yes it would be funny to hear froch bang on about how groves doesn't deserve to fight in vegas!

Rycoys....if you think Groves has won his last 2 fights convincingly after the froch defeat then your sadly mistaken.

He laboured to victory in the Rebrasse fight and don't even gee me started on the last showing against Mommas Boy!! He was getting punched clean as a whistle, was marked up all over his face and ONLY won because the other guy had thrown a million punches and was knackered and got stopped.

Its like saying Juan Manuel Marquez won easily in the 4th fight with Pacman......just because he won.....it does not mean the rest of the fight wasn't competitive or in the Groves last fight....one sided.

If you judge he's performance in the last 2 then your right it was far from perfect but only because with he's talent you except so much more But still won them convinceingly. What concerns me with gg is he boxes like he's invincible he never use to under booth and was alot more disaplined. I think he ups he's game this year tho and beats Degale if it happens!

Funny how the fickle amongst us here on 606 are suddenly Degale fans.

I have been behind Degale from day 1 and was right to say he was robbed first time around. Its a shame you can't stick to your guns.

Hardly a robbery. Razor thin decision that could have gone either way.

As if Andre Dirrell(IBF number 2 ranked contender) would allow/step aside for George Groves. Dirrell was already robbed against Froch, he'd not gonna let two lesser fighters fight for a title.

Gerry, OneTwo this may help your understanding:

rob: (verb)
past tense: robbed; past participle: robbed
take property unlawfully from (a person or place) by force or threat of force.
"he tried, with three others, to rob a bank"
synonyms: steal from; informal; mug , roll.

I'll take this you seriously when you take your tongue outta Froch's bum hole

You don't have to take me seriously Gerry, this is an Internet forum. I'd worry about you if you took it to heart.

Carl Froch: international superstar. End of. How far do you think Dirrell would have got on Tumble? I rest may case.

The only fighter ever robbed against Carl Froch was George Groves. Robbed of the opportunity to weather the storm in the 9th round in the first fight.

I can't feel too sorry for him though, he got a 6 figure pay day and sold out a stadium in the rematch, which was only his second ever title fight. Didn't do too badly for himself out of that injustice.

I thought you'd like froch Gerry... With his warrior style. If he walked to the ring wearing a red bandana and changed his name to carlos frochez you'd be a fan I think

The dirrell fight was a weird one. It felt like the better fighter lost, but dirrell got on his bike and paid the penalty. It's always split opinion.

Funny you say that, Mexicans have charisma, whereas Carl Froch has no personality at all. 

That aside Dirrell won the fight 115/113. Close but clear winner. Had the fight been anywhere else Dirrell would've got the rightful decision.

Where exactly would he have got the decision then Gerry?

America for starters isn't that well known for giving the nod to defensive boxers in close fights and it was a close fight despite your protestations.

Carlito Frochez. El Guerrero. El cobra.

They might not speak a word of English but they've got great charisma apparently..

I've been outed as a froch fanboy by captain charisma.

Go cobra go.

I was under the impression that half of the USA couldn't speak a word of English either...

Indeed Milky, but I'm sure if Froch walked around with a red bandana, a sombrero and some nachos you'd think he's rank

Yeh raf. Julio cesar chavez senior? Poor man's graham earl.
