This is sad news
Warren although he has had some success stories didnt exactly do well with Khan. James has natural talent. All he need to is look at Audley and Khan to realise that Olympic sucess gets you nowhere in the pro game . If anything it ruins a fighter who thinks they know it already. See how those two did it and do the opposite . Dont get use to fighting bums. Keep pushing yourself and stay humble and willing to learn . Audley and Khan were unable to do this.

Bet they debut on the next Khan PPV.. Degale at least
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
I wish them all well, but I wont pay any attention until after a few years.
Amir and Audley from last time out. Whippey hey!!
Im glad I never paid much attention.
Shame is that the contracts are worth a hell of a lot of money, when Degale was in talks a figure of 2m over 2 yrs was banded about, so I think Warren would rightly expect some hype and attention to recoup some of that.
They made that choice for the big money so they can't expect to develope under tha radar. Hopefully after seeing what happened to the other two they will realise the pro game is very different and that they have a hell of a lot to learn.
So I guess you think this is Sad news then 'Game'?
I personally think that Gavin will be awesome. He was amizing in the World Championships and should have won Olympic Gold and would have if it wasn't for the weight problems.
De Gale reminds me a little of Amir Khan and the was he was after the Olympics. He needs to be properly managed and reigned in, but he has undoubted talent!
As for Saunders, I will reserve judgement. I think he got bigged up a bit by the ABA. I reserve the right to change my mind tho.
The best bit was Degale rant 'They owe me a big bonus, £20,000, but they've tried to tell me that because I'm turning pro I'm not going to get it. They are a bunch of jokers and they need to be shown in their true colours. They go on like they give us everything but they give us nothing.' Funny![]()
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Good luck to them all.I cant wait to see them break into the pro ranks!It should be well worth watching these 3.It's what we need as Hatton and Calzaghe will be putting they slippers on and relaxing in front of the fire place soon.
