Because I am a boxing fan that has twice paid to see fight cards where you have featured, gave you allot of credit for your win against Quigley and chasing a fight with Magee.

That should earn me enough respect from you to respond to my Groves question which you are still avoiding.

He is fighting end of July and has publicly called you out several times. Will be more than ready for an October date which is when I presume the farcical McDermott fight will happen. If you can give me one good reason why McDermott is your next opponent instead of Groves I will refrain from slating you again.........btw not being ready or experienced enough doesn't count because he is Commonwealth champion and has several good wins at the weight unlike McDermott who doesn't have a win better than Adamu in his career. Its also the exact same situation as your brother against John Simpson. Groves brings more fan interest, sells more tickets, sky would love the fight and the press would get behind it. Its a fight fans want to see and I saw a poll recently where the overwhelming majority of people said he would knock you out. So lets here the reason why your not fighting Groves and facing McDermott in another step backwards and a fight not even scousers will gets excited about?

If you again try to dodge the Groves subject I will continue to assume you are ducking a fight with him. Which is fair enough you have your career to think off and getting stopped by a 9-0 novice would put you back two years and stop any chances of getting a world title fight in the future.

Your last paragraph has NAILED THE COFFIN SHUT on me giving you an answer, to anything you ask!
Just to clarify things: You demand me to answer your question, otherwise you will constantly assume I am ducking him? And you are who exactly? Should I lose sleep over 'robpalmer135'
Yeah right. I have read your posts on the other shite forum you use, You have never had a good word to say about me, have always slagged me off and disrespected me and have picked every other opponent to beat me. Why should I be in the slightest bit bothered what you think or have to say???

So you assume away. I assume you are sitting dressed in your mother's underwear and a gimp suit.... I could be right too

Finally a bit of common sense.

it might be common sense - and no disrespect is meant to you in this Paul - but its also the biggest load of bollocks. Its on a level with saying 'Ferguson and Wenger dont get on so the FA Cup final will instead be ManUtd vs Walsall'

Matt, it's not the same thing, FA Cup final has to happen between whoever gets there, whereas Smith and Groves isn't mandatory.

Let's also not forget his last 2 fights were very demanding, To get through them cuts was something else..

No disrespect but, since when did Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger decide who contests the FA Cup Final?
It is no bollocks at all, I don't talk bollocks.

STEVE WOOD wrote:Not trying to add any controvesy to this thread but feel I need to stand up for Carl on this one ,as maybe he could have put his points over a little bit clearer. He basically is a fighter who is not scared of loosing and just wants to have a go and see how well he can do. With reference all the fighters named I will clear up on his behalf :-

Brian Magee- We agreed to this fight with 3 different promoters but nothing happened.
George Groves - Was to fight him for British eliminator in April but he got a Commonwealth shot ,we stepped down on the promise of the first defence .
Paul Smith - We were asked if we would have the fight , we said yes but there was no further developments.
James Degale - Tony Quigley was offered this fight and although we had no issues with the fight itself we could not agree terms. Carl heard and said he would have the fight , we got in touch but it seems like we were to late.
Tony Quigley - Apart from me managing both fighters they are very close and I would never suggest they fight each other unless there is somthing big on the end of it for both fighters.
Kenny Anderson - We withdrew from purse bids with him as we had another fight lined up , this is a posibility for the future but first Tony Quigley is due to fight him.
Tony Bellew - We were offered the fight and I turned it down without even speaking to Carl.

Hope that help clears up any issues on Carls behalf. May I also say that this is a poop job for all concerned and a lot harder than outsiders could ever imagine , all boxers feel that things could be better for them and I tell them to think about others when feeling sorry for themselves as no one has it easy.

STEVE WOOD

PS - Even Stevie Wonder knows Carl should not have lost to Adamu or Stubbs.

Groves is a fast, fresh, big punching young man who is moving up fast. I am pretty sure that there aren't that many title level boxers who are arsed about boxing anyone. They do it day in and day out and are used to getting hit. If a good payday was about then the bout would be agreed. Groves' camp offered De Gale £50,000 to box and it was declined. Most likely because the fight will be worth a lot more than that in a year or 18 months. Carl Dilks wants to box and will face anyone but I doubt he'd do it for free; I can't see Paul Smith, Groves or De Gale being afraid but they have got to get paid commensurate with the risk and the prestige of the bout.
