    No 2 quality fighters, will never go on to do what Froch did and will never have record of Calzaghe but they may eclipse what Eubank did, not sure about Benn though.

    I take issue with Benn and Eubank being a lower level than Froch.

    And if we are talking "primes" I take issue with Calzaghe being above them too.

    How the hell are they Frauds?!?!?! Degale is a gold Olympic medalist and current world champion and Groves has got another world title chance coming up. Your expectations are astronomic if you could call either a fraud.

    A fraud?? George Groves asserted himself extremely well in both fights against Froch (a pound for pound ranked fighter) on the worlds biggest scene - in only his 19th fight.

    There was laughter when the fight was announced, he showed himself to be of the required level.

    Degale lost to Groves in a British Classic & has used the loss to springboard him onto the next level, a skill that only champions can really master... He's gone onto prove himself to be truly world class also.

    The only viable question, is will these two prove to surpass the likes of Froch, calzaghe & benn / Eubank.. My opinion is yes they will, because already - Groves has proved he is confident in taking on the best..!

    George Groves will be better now hes got rid of that personal trainer masquerading as a world class boxing coach.

    Adam Booth!

    Man looks like he should be working in fitness first
