iamasadlittleboy Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 http://news.boxrec.com/news/2011/hayemaker-wins-purse-bids-degale-v-groves About time those two got it on. See DeGale winning this now, 12 months ago Groves certainly looked better but has regressed horribly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faulks Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Well i will be going to this one its a fight ive been looking forward to for a while. Still not convinced it will deffo happen. Im not sure Booth & co really want this fight as DeGale will stop him with ease i feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londoner Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I like Groves and think he's a class act and i hope he goes far with his career. But, IMO, DeGale is the best prospect in the WORLD and not just in the UK. I think DeGale can go all the way to the top and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But right now is he better than Saul Alvarez , Cleverly (if we still can class them as a prospects)? Kell Brook? Degale has came on lots since his first professional fight were he was very amateurish. He defo looks as if he could be something special but there's a lot of better fighters out there hes still to meet the likes of Bute , Dirrell, Froch, Ward, Pavlik,Kessler Abraham. Hes in a tough division, might be hard to make his mark in the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes in a tough division, might be hard to make his mark in the next few years. Alvarez and Cleverly aren't prospects anymore (as you suggested). They've had far too many fights and are on the verge of World title shots because of their marching up the ladder. DeGale is on the verge of a World title shot, not because of the amount of fights he has had or the fact he "deserves" one, but because he is so good, they're pretty much saying: "Mate, you might as well have one now. You're only going to get better anyway". So IMO, he's the best prospect in the UK but also the World. As you say though, only time will tell. This is why it's important to emphasise the "prospect" part of that statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
