    DeGale has said a few times that his comeback opponent won't be no joke and ****** is looking for a serious fight. Even though Pavlik looked really poor last time this would be a massive risk.

    pavlik would be very dangerous indeed. i wonder what the odds would be like. i would think degale would be a slight favourite

    Pavlik would beat Degale, this fight won't get made.

    DeGale's next fight will be a risk free 'rabbit housing scheme' special against a 15(6)-8 middleweight from Zambia.

    :lol: But he's invested a lot of money in DeGale and hasn't really had a return. He apparently isn't a big draw and the public don't like him.

    And all these Olympians are meant to be on big purses so Frank might have had enough giving him big money to fight nobodies.

    And if you read the piece, Arum himself is saying we've got a big offer to go to England. Dyo really think W

    I thought Pavlik was going to be on Showtime in September and Bute in November. No reason why he can't fight DeGale in September, although it's a huge risk for DeGale and I doubt

    Degale is still to green for pavlik, although I still can see degale pulling off the win, because pavlik does not have the same pop at 168 and has been outboxed by plenty
