    I think Degale is also to wrong for Froch. His southpaw counter style would catch Froch running in. I don't know what will happen if he gets caught by Froch but he defiantly has the capabilities but the question is does he have the drive. I would mind that fight happening but then that would mean Groves would have to find another route cause once Degale wins a world title unless Groves has one there will be no Degale v Groves 2

    Yes.

    Degale is one of those Boxers that, if he's in with QUALITY opposition, he'll thrive.

    I honestly think he'd bamboozle Carl. He'd put it on him in the end due to not having to look for him and just outfoxing him.

    Be a ****ing great fight though.

    Nah don't think so. Imagine Carl to have to much heart for Degale who I believe will be found more than wanting at world level. I think Steiglitz beats Degale at this point.

    I think Degale is all wrong for both Stieglitz and Froch. I think he may be more wrong for Froch than Groves is. But easier to hit then Groves maybe.

    He could outbox Froch but dont know if he would have the power to keep Froch off him for 12 rounds, andDeGale tends to lie on the ropes when he gets tired which is suicide vs Froch. I think Degale would be ahead, its just a question of if he would survive the final third of the fight or not.

    Froch would outwork him over 12.

    No. Doesnt have Groves power or intelligence.

    Froch would KO DeGale. Degale,once tagged by anyone goes straight to the ropes and my opinion that would suit Froch. Plus Degale just don't hit hard enough to deter top oppponents

    DeGale has a habit of taking his foot off the gas in the mid to late rounds and Froch would not let him get away with this I don't think.
