    Honestly, stop watching boxing. You are not a fan of this sport, all you do is insult and disrespect fighters. It's shameful and sickening. Grow the **** up.

    And I notice you highlight the embarrassment of Degale a boxer getting outboxed by a lesser boxer, how about your boy Dawson getting outboxed and dominated by a proven four round fighter? I guess by your standards that is worse than death.

    As I said above, Froch deserves respect. I'm a fan. But I don't think Britain has many other top fighters. Khan, I suppose, though I really don't know if his chin will hold up enough to allow him to reach his potential. And, sure, if Haye blasts out Wlad I'll eat my words. I would agree that a few years back, during the prime Calzaghe/Hatton years, that Britain had a disproportionately large number of pfp fighters.

    It's early days for these boys no? Most boxers mature at different rates, maybe everyone should start judging them when they step up a level and fight the big boys, which will be on the cards for Clev and Groves very soon (Degale needs to go back to the drawing board)

    There's a bit of anger in here today. it's a sunday chilllllllllllllllll

    these 3 brit fighters wouldn't even beat Diaconu. Dawson and Dirrell would embrass them.

    ten fights a piece? Be serious. They're just pups. Give them a few years to develop. Way too early to pass judgment on Degale and Groves.

    If Danny Jacobs is a hype job, what is James Degale?

    Boy was he hyped. Mayweatherian skill. Cat-like quickness. Powerful in both hands. Defensive wizard.

    The guy was outboxed by George Groves.

    Let me ask the question again. If Danny Jacobs is a hype job, then what is James Degale?

    And it doesn't look good going forward.

    Haye. Oh dear, Haye is not a stock I would buy right now.

    Froch. Likewise, the imminent fight with Ward. Don't like his chances.

    Cleverly? Oh dear me.

    Calzaghe? There's your man!!! Put all your hope in him retroactively, ad infinitum!!!!!

    I like to think of myself as a fair and thinking man on this forum and over the months I have been on this website and viewed many posts, I can conclude that MichiganWarrior is actually an attention seeking ****** that makes **** threads. Like the one he has just made... Congratulations for keeping up the good work, ******.

    Nathan Cleverly won his fight and if you had saw anything about him before, you would of seen that lets himself get hit and likes to create drama, other than that, he is a good talent.

    As for DeGale, he is an olympic gold medallist that had let the hype go to his head and was too cocky through-out the build up and paid for it in the ring, he will come back with a more humble attitude and recover perfectly fine.

    You mean one brit fighter that has had 11 fights? another that has had 13 fights and a guy that has only just started boxing full time after getting a maths degree from the university of cardif?

    Are you ******ed? If there is a delete button, I suggest you use it on your post, it is pointless.

    De gale has had a little hYpe yeah, but i think he has the tools even still to make it. Two good prospects met one another VERY early in their career's and have not been fed like the american counter parts who are either fed bums or peds!! We all remeber Jeff Lacy so NO american has a right to mention on how to hype a fighter as you win hands down.

    I don't follow your logic.

    By the standards applied to Danny Jacobs, Andre Berto, Paul Williams and others, who are routinely referred to as "hype jobs", what pray tell is James Degale if not, indeed, a hype job? Is he not a prime example of a hype job, by the standards laid forth by the likes of ... oh you know the faction.
