    These guys were supposed to beat Dirrell, Dawson, and Ward? :lol:


    DeGale couldnt beat Andre Dirrells sparring partner. :p

    1st off i dont rate degale or groves

    he slaps 10X worse than calzaghe ever did, and just like cleverly, looks good with a guy who forgets hes allowed to move around the ring

    groves isnt that good, but with a good gameplan which he did very well to stick to, kinda made him look like the amatuer boxer he is


    cleverly on the other hand, will get exposed even worse when he steps up against someone who can box and not just slug it out with him

    and im from wales where people love cleverly, but hes jus another hype job like degale

    DeGale has no idea how to utilize his skills and talents...His ring generalship is sickening

    Groves i would rate BIG time, he has heart, determination and mental strength. Most American fighters probably would have quit with the cut Groves had (Dirrel, Alexander)

    And Cleverly fights like a British Mexican, machismo and good inside game (**** defence). I wouldnt be suprised to see Groves make it far, and see Cleverly give us some good wars.

    Speaking of Andre Dirrell, has Dr. Shaw Hi cleared him fit and free of sleep problems?

    Dirrell basically implied he was whipping Groves ass in sparring. And thats a Dirrell a year out of the ring with no training or conditioning. Said he was determined but was green.

    I agree they are not on the level of Dirrel/Ward/Dawson. You are correct there, but you're still a ***.

    How many times did Ward get "floored" by Arthur Abraharmless?

    Dirrel also implied he has neurological damage which would stop him boxing/sparring ever again yet is sparring with people so who knows what to beleive.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA

    all 3 are relative novices with little professional experience... Cleverly would handle Cloud right now ........ I don't think Groves or Degale are meant to be World beaters after 10 fights are they :roll::patsch

    They're definitely not on the level of anyone in the Super 6 and Cleverly is going to get torched soon.

    Really impressed by Groves' jab and technical ability. He might be the one who makes something of his career in comparison to the two other hype jobs if he keeps improving

    I think all 3 are top 15 fighters in their divisions.

    Groves is good enough now to beat b level comp at smw. Degale needed to lose to stop feeding his self delusion. Just like dirrel he thought he could win by showing up and coasting, hopefully like dirrel he'll show more heart next time out.

    Dawson needs to grow passionate man, it's testament to his skill he has gotten so far without really trying but it's damn annoying to watch.
