    That's up to them to think what they want, I'm sure James & his team don't really give a monkeys what anyone else thinks.

    British & European champ within a short period of time, he needs to be active in order for his career to progress. In fact he needs to be active to earn a living.

    If causing a stir enables him to do that, then he's going to do it.

    He was quite tough but he isn't a Czech.. He's a Croat.

    You're looking at Boxrec. They aren't the be-all end-all source of information. He is from Prague.

    Froch walks through Defail's pitty pat slaps & mauls him,especially if he still goes to ropes where Froch will really beat the **** out of him!

    Groves stops him when they fight again!

    I supported Defail in the olympics when he won gold & wanted him to do well as a pro but his pathetic,childish behaviour in the build up to the Groves fight was disgusting & now i can't stand the arrogant,obnoxious wanker!!!

    No point calling out Froch. If anyone is going to get that fight it will be Groves because of shared promoter.

    That said, I think DeGale has plenty of talent and can be a world champion.

    I guess you hate on Hayemaker, Fury, Floyd, Broner and on Prince Nas when he was fighting if your old enough.

    I am old enough mate! :D

    Thing is the fighters you've mentioned are/were entertaining when they trash talk (except Broner),Defail & Broner just make themselves look like complete TWATS when they do it! :rofl

    In spots. IMO he looked better in Canada, but then again that was a worse opponent.

    (Bozic might actually be his best since Wilk)

    I can't believe his punching technique is so poor. having said that it didn't do Calzaghe any harm.

    He seems to have a problem with concentration. It was probably losing concentration that cost him the Groves fight, remember the 'I couldn't hit him and got bored' quote. That isn't the mentality of a world champion, because that will happen any time you step up in class.

    He'd beat Groves if they fought again, I thought he won the first fight as well. He looked pretty good on Saturday IMO, just ragged defensively at times lacking concentration.

    He'll pick up a world title and hopefully set up a big domestic clash. Just needs to tighten his f*cking defence, same old story! I don't mind him mouthing off, it brings publicity, bigger fights and bigger paydays, I'm still a big fan.
