    Would you drop the IBF belt to **** off DeGale?

    By giving him the opportunity to fight for the vacant belt, and potentially become world champion against a weaker opponent?

    .....with enemies like that, who needs friends.

    I'm sure after beating Degale twice so far, he would vacate his world title which he's been working for all his life and say no to a big 6 figure payday just to annoy James Degale

    Why when Groves wins 999 times out of 1000?

    The way I see it Froch or DeGale bring 85-90% of the interest. Nobody cares about DeGale anymore. It's barely a PPV fight; I certainly wouldn't buy it anyway.

    There are huge fights elsewhere for both Froch and DeGale so why gives James the biggest pay day of his life when he doesn't deserve it?

    You mean froch and Groves bring 85% of the interest don't you?

    I think a fight between Degale v Groves would have more interest then Froch v Degale..., just because of the bad blood between degale and Groves

    I did indeed mean that.

    Do people want to see Groves - DeGale as much as they did first time round?

    groves would fight degale exactly like he did in the firsr fight, degale still hasn't learnt how to fight of the front foot. he is one dimensional as he can only fight of the back foot. groves would exploit this by setting traps all night long with degale walking on to shots.

    Why would he give up probably the biggest pay day out there?

    I suspect they are going to line Kessler up as well.

    If Groves wins will he have to fight his manditory straight away? Hope not, so he can stick it DeGale and Hearn.

    DeGale coming through Gonzalez is not a givin either.
