    Out of these British fighters around the same weight. James DeGale, Tony Jeffries, George Groves. Do you think one of these fighters will win a world title? If so who? And if so do you think they will become a world champ do you think they will become one of the dominant fighters of their division?

    agree about groves and jeffries
    i think degale winning a world title will largely depend whether he meets groves before that level and how much damage mentally the beating off groves causes him

    Groves and DeGale certainly have a decent chance if they improve and stay grounded.

    Oakey was a bit past his best though to be fair. Banbulas record isnt great 10 wins 25 losses and never scored a KO. I dont think its that big a test for Tony really, and expect Tony to win comfortably if not by KO

    there allot of people on here that think DeGale is a pre-madonna and i tend to agree. Eubanks comments on the bunce hour on increased that opinion but i know for a fact he is an extremely hard worker in the gym have seen him and his stable out running at 6-7 in the morning. Jeffries always looks in great shape to. 90% of this boxing game is done in the gym Floyd Mayweather is testament to that.

    DeGale is extremly quick and seems to be a smart fighter. We will not see the best of him until he gets to Championship level as he is probably a natural counter puncher. Personally I have seen improvments in every fight but theres still some glaring errors he makes.

    Jeffries just needs to settle down. I think he needs to get out to the states. he has to much pressure on his shoulders in sunderland. At times he look quality and at others he looks awful. I still think he has something about him.

    Groves can go all the way. my worry about him is he is being moulded into Haye and I don't think he has the natural athleticism to pull that style of at the highest level. I think he could lose on the road to world honours.

    King wasn't supposed to be either :yep

    Until this lad gets a new trainer and stops fighting in his own backyard he's going nowhere.

    Seems a really nice lad, and is obviously talented - but something is amiss, and needs rectifying.

    Maloney won't do it though... Jeffries selling tickets recoups the losses that nearly took him under from the Moore vs Rhodes promotion :yep

    When he meets Groves he will beat him IMO.

    Degale and Groves have a good chance of winning titles id say degale is more likley to be dominant though.Groves style can be a bit reckless and that may lead to defeats that could have been avoided.Ive not seen enough of Jeffries to say too much about him.

    Agree wth all of this; for instance, Groves need to adopt his own stance, not Hayes.
