    Yeah, but you mentioned his confidence, not his performances.

    He's as confident as ever.

    Some would say that James Degale would be in the top 15.

    Robbed in first fight lol, he was seconds from being knocked out, staggering around like a drunk against an unmotivated Carl Froch. He was at least two rounds down to Froch in second fight. Never made it into last quarter of fight v Froch once ! Froch having been in ring with both strongly fancies Callum to beat Groves, Johnny Nelson talked about Callum badly beating Groves in sparring, hence why Callums camp rightly want fight

    Not when he fought Groves he was not. Tell me 1 fighter he has beat in his career who was a top 15 fighter at that time?

    Rebrasse.

    And moog come on, if you asked Froch who would win between me and Groves he would pick me every day of the week and twice on a Sunday :good

    He hates the guy.

    Degale vs smith is more likely at this stage. Groves will not beat dirrell and I reckon degale probably will win the vacant ibf. Then it's quite easy for degale vs smith to be made with them both at Matchroom

    Valid point, maybe further down line as Eddie will want DeGale to fight Froch or Groves as bigger money, and if Callum can win a world WBC title in a year or so it would leave more bigger money options down line for them to meet then in a unification

    I know he don't like him, but Johnny Nelson has same view, and most boxers who have seen both close up think same I hear. Callum has already gave him a hiding in sparring, aint be all and end all but 8 oz gloves on he would fancy it more. Look at GG face after he fought a career LMW at weekend

    Groves face always looks like that after a fight.

    You need a namechange to mong. Or Scott Harrison's Unwanted Lovechild. Either is fine by me.

    It was a poor performance by Groves but Degale has had some shockers in the last 12 months you cnt look like a world beater every time you box.
