Yeah, not to mention the fact that Groves already has a win over DeGale and he might be able to use that to his advantage and act now like he doesn't really need DeGale

Both have similar star quality. DeGale has quietly the better record (win wise) Groves is probably more well known amongst the shít munchers! If ever 50/50 was fair it's here! I'm probably more of a DeGale fan but I really took to Groves after the Chudinov effort! I would actually look forward to this fight more than their first effort.... As good as that was

50/50 all day long. Too much nonsense about a sides and b sides these days. You need 2 fighters to have a fight, the public want an evenly matched bout so from a meritocracy point of view it should be 50/50.

I don't think who has the most fans or who has the most twitter followers should have any bearing whatsoever. You need both fighters to sell the fight and it's a sport after all, we're not buying their new single.

If the fighters want to make it 60/40 for the winner then that's fine too as it's based on meritocracy again.

Wouldn't you rather Smith took a strap and then defended it against someone worthwhile? Makes any fight between any of them a bit more interesting?

I think 50/50 as they both have a lot to lose but yours is a decent shout man!

Bit at the end I mean haha

Why? If you don't mind me asking?

I don't think that it adds enough for me to want that to happen first.

Well not from DeGale or Groves side so who would you have Smith in with beforehand? If he takes a title then surely he's worthy?

Yes.

Yes.

Well then! If Smith takes a title get him in with Groves or DeGale if the options there?

As long as Paul doesn't win one I'm fine

If Paul wins he should fight Froch.

You know what mate? Why the fukk not? Just let Carl beat him in to next week!

50/50... very fair.
60/40 to the winner even better.
