    which one are you most excited to see out of these?

    I'm kind of torn really, I mean i think Clev/Brahmer is the more intreguing fight, based on styles.

    It will also tell us what we need to know about Cleverly, real make or break time.

    Degale/Groves is a great fight too, and more hyped up, but i think maybe overhyped a slight bit.

    I wouldn't be shelling a £100 for a ticket for Cleverly-Brahmer....

    Clev/Braehmer will probably be the better fight so I'm more looking forward to that one.

    I'm glad Groves v DeGale is happening though because I'm sick of domestic fights not happening because they're not big enough etc.

    We've already lost out on Hatton v Witter, Calzaghe v Froch, Khan v Thaxton or Murray and probably Macklin v Barker just to name a few.

    All the others I agree with but I don't think Calzaghe Froch made sense at the time. Obviously it would have been great for Carl to get a shot but it made zero sense for Joe.

    Calzaghe-Froch was only realistic in Mick Henneseys press releases. Most boxing fans seemed to accept that Calzaghe would be retired by the time a fight with Froch became attractive to him.

    I'm really looking forward to DeGale-Groves but I'm not that bothered who wins as long as its a good fight.

    If Cleverly gets beat that will make my night, I cannot wait.

    Personally, I'm more looking forward to the Clev fight.

    Saying that, I'm really looking forward to the Gentleman George - JDG scrap...I'm just really pleased it's looking like a decent bill!

    Just tell them a cocky Welsh student is about to get smashed in by a hardened German criminal.

    Who could resist?

    Oh yeah don't get me wrong I agree the timing made no real sense and it's unfortunate that Calzaghe was coming to the end before Froch really got going. But it still would've been a top domestic fight that never happened.

    DeGale/Groves...

    This is not even a contest, this fight TKO1 Clev/German.

    The intrigue and story behind this fight sets it apart from the rest, its a special fight.
