    I see Khan as a fighter, i don't care if he's black, white, yellow, green or blue.

    It doesn't hurt me seeing a British fighter outbox a Mexican, but Barrera was so far past it, he was a man called Barrera, that wasn't THE Barrera...

    That's why your ******ed post now count's as invalid

    You start off well but then you revert back to your child like Idiotic self, by the way I don't believe you, just hollow words, Barerra was past his best, but Jones did out box him when he was at his best, who is to say Khan would not do it then ? It does hurt you seeing Khan doing well.

    You see, this is where your going wrong.

    Maybe, just maybe Khan could of outboxed Barrera when he was at his best... BUT HE DIDN'T. Khan beat Barrera when Barrera was a shell of a man. So therefor as i said, your point is invalid. Maybe he could of did it, but we'll never know...

    Let's get back to the subject Degale/Groves. Amazing how everyone was rubbishing Booth before i.e when Haye was knackered in the Ruiz fight, only being able to work for short spells each round and blowing heavy between rounds and then the Groves/Anderson fight, when Groves defence was exposed. Now after the Degale fight he is the master technician, a great trainer. Was the victory more down to what degale did not do, as opposed to what Groves did in the fight ? If we are all honest, during the fight we wanted Groves to win and when Degale got to him we feared for Groves, I am sure most people felt Degale was one big punch away from a stopage, mainly with left hook, but not enough pressure came from Degale, instead after every round that he got to Groves he allowed Groves back with lack of activity in the next round. It could of been a different story and then Booth would have been slated like before, now big mouth Mac is facing the wrath, when before he was complimented on his methods.

    I'll agree here...

    Groves stuck to a gameplan, but the gameplan wasn't perfect as DeGale got through to Groves on numerous occasions. I think it was more DeGale losing the fight than Groves winning the fight.

    There was sense to what Booth said but he did make a mistake and kept calling his right jab his left.

    Groves came with a game plan. DeGale came to fight. I had it for DeGale but I see why people like Groves in it. DeGale had no Plan A or B. Groves did what he had to do to win and DeGale should forever kick himself that his ego got the better of him. He went into the fight disrespecting his opponent and having an over inflated opinion of himself. That is great when you tear through people like a young Mike Tyson but give DeGale and Groves ability and skill set, he should have approached the fight with a technical approach.

    DeGale said that Groves sees red and fights like David Haye. Both are correct and I really thought he had a strategy behind all those words. I think he won but he did himself no favours.
