    Because it stops DeGale from getting his biggest pay day and George would have a multitude of options available to him?

    Did he not get injured against sierra and was forced to vacate. The first time was did someone not threaten to shoot him

    Groves doesn't owe Degale anything, beat him amateur and pro.

    Isn't a rather shop worn Kessler contemplating retirement.Im not sure he needs another hard pay day.

    But you could do if you had other big pay days on the horizon... Chavez Jr, Kessler or even a Froch trilogy.

    I dont know if Groves would do that, but he may want to see if DeGale can win the WBC belt for a unification which could be bigger for both. If Frochs WBA regular title is on the line it could be for the WBC WBA regular and IBF titles

    Wasn't groves informed by Scotland Yard that gangsters were planning to kill him at the Anderson rematch if he didn't throw the fight?

    More to the point, does Degale actually deserve a shot at a title.
    He's irrelevant as far as i'm concerned, he's done nothing but fight second tier opposition, and made hard work of beating them if the truth be told.
    I wonder how he feels now about all the **** talking he did prior to the last Groves fight.
    A SMW Audley :lol:

    Rematch with Degale then maybe a defence in the US? Possibly against Chavez jr just to **** Froch off.

    Or go straight to Chavez Jr, that would rub both Froch and Degale up :lol:

    I know this is opening a can of worms but......

    I never really got why Kenny deserved a re-match at that point.

    Would have rather seen Kenny take on James Degale.
