    Andre Dirrell is WBO No.1 mate.

    They wont be in the super six this time next year.

    Froch is moving up to 175 to fight Pascal, who wont be champion next year after he fights Hopkins as according to you he only won by robbery

    But isn't he 'medically unable to box'? So he's not good enough to rank but he's good enough to be worried about for a mandatory? I was thinking it was serious when you failed to even rank him, its not like fighters get injured all the time...

    I think Froch will move to 175 regardless. He's talked about being a 2 weight world champion. He's the kind of fighter that cares about his legacy so that would be something that appeals to him, Pascal or otherwise. Him taking advantage of his WBO ranking to fight DeGale some time in the future seems unlikely.

    There is no real need to be second guessing all these things. You never know whats going to come up, but if DeGale's good enough, and Stieglitz is still there in 6 months - a years time, they should be looking for an opportunistic crack at that belt. The WBO makes it ideal infact, everybody knows about the 'strange' occurances in the rankings when Frank's about.

    It has to be Groves....on the contrary it goes to show how **** poor the domestic scene at 168 is if a guy can win the Brit title after 9 fights or whatever it is....and now we are saying theres nobody else domestically worth fighting.

    So it has to be Groves next...after that...knowing Frank Warren they will do what Cleverly is having to do, and that face a few boring Eurpeans for a while while Frank threatens to get him a WBO title shot in about 2 years

    A groves fight would be a good one for degale, imo he should work his way up the traditional way. Hes already captured the British title so he should add Groves commonwaelth title to it. Then a european title would be a logical step up.

    A rematch with smith is no better or worse than a fight with groves or Anderson.
    I've already been on here saying smith was outclassed by degale, smith poss at the wrong weight and stuff like that. What you need to do is stop worrying yourself about what I am saying pet if what I am saying isn't your cup of tea. Now run along, pal:tong

    By the way why did you put the last bit in bold? Whether I think smith is **** or not is irrelevant. I follow his career. So IMO there's nothing to get over

    So no love for my idea of Lolenga Mock then. I would like Kenny Anderson but seriously doubt it will happen with Anderson being with the Hatton's.

    I dont no if you are taking the **** or you seriously are a deluded man?
    You tried using Abraham to make Smith look good your a bit of a joke mate to be honest, put it this way Abraham would knock Paul Smith into next week if they met. :good

    Look dickhead I don't know what your problem is. My point is that my opinion is that smith Is probably at the wrong weight he seems a more natural middle to me, but if he fights at smw then I'll follow him at that weight. The Abraham comment is based on Abrahams style. Degale would run rings around Abraham IMO, he ain't that special just has a bit of power.
    As for the comment about a smith rematch being as relevant as groves or Anderson, it's a fair comment. Groves was on his way to being sparked by Anderson who would have taken him out with more notice for the fight so IMO groves has not proven anything near what degale has. I mean beating adamu is not the pinnacle, and neither is beating smith, but by comparison the better win came from degale in a far more convincing fashion. So give your head a ****ing wobble before you start spouting shite
