The Olympians

[0james0]

Just wondering peoples thoughts, by Olympians I'm talking the recent three: Saunders, De Gale, Gavin.

My questions are:


Who is your favourite?

Who will do the best?

Who is currently the best?


And of course why for all of them.

For some freaky unknown reason i have come quite accustomed to Degale, He is annoying and his style isnt all that great but there is something about him that makes me think he will do well and i heard in the papaer i think that he knows eventually he will be beaten and that doesn't faze him which could be a good thing i guess but i've never heard a boxer say that before!

For me the best prospect is gavin, he's a great boxer, looks like he's improving all the time and his power is gettin there aswell

Who is your favourite? - Billy Joe Saunders - ive met him on several occasions already through seeing him train in the TKO gym and he is genuinely a nice guy

Who will do the best? - Billy Joe Saunders - JDG lacks the heart to make it to the very top and gavin gives off a wiff of being a tad one dimensional when he is in with the also-rans. Saunders is putting on shows every time he is in there and leaving the others in his wake.

Who is currently the best? - Billy Joe Saunders - The most impressive so far and has genuinely looked the part at pro, would be stunned if he didnt go on to eventually fight for a world title

Really hammer, I thought saunders looked ordinary last time out

[ono]

I think they'll all fight for a world title at some stage. I'm not sure who's the best currently. None seem to stand out that much for me considering their amatuer achievements.

Demetrius Andrade - My favorite do to athleticism and being from my home town
Deontay Wilder - Wilder started late but has a great story with his disabled child and needed to get money so found boxing.
Sadam Ali - Good solid fighter whos moving well through the ranks.



I think Andrade will accomplish the most but really pissed me off with the "Tell me I'm the best" comment...

Gavin by a mile, He is the Dogs Bollocks

Funny you should mention Andrade, I've just seen his fight with some old man called Spruiell. Ended with the old man grunting at him to hurt him. Couldn't finish the old guy, bbut was only a 6 rounder.

To answer my own question:


Favourite- Billy Joe Saunders, I just hope he isn't dogged by that hand for his career, hence the reason he looked shit last time out, still brutal, but needs his power back. Love his style and character though.

Do the best: Hard to say, depends how you judge it. I think De Gale will win more titles, much like Khan. Very good, but very moulded. Gavin may do a Mitchell. Saunders may bite somone or steal their washing.

Currently the best- De Gale probably looks like he is more complete on his development, the tohers still learning their trade a lot, maybe it's just how they have been protected. Gavin looks the most technically skilled though, I love the way he bounces in and out of range and picks people off from all angles.
