Eubank- "I guarantee Degale will fail"

[smashup]

Strong words but some valid points...
Boxing: Eubank: I guarantee DeGale will fail | Setanta

Did you see him on Bunces show?

Typical cringworthy Eubank madness.. then hilarious watching him in the background, while George Groves was talking, going round the office shaking everyones hand

Love the man and has right!!

Degale has been paid for his fame now but thats only from the amatures, wait till he gets in there with strong experienced pros, its gonna be somewhere inbetween the falls of Harrison and Khan Only not as high profile

[Bomp]

He has some very good points. Guarantee may be too strong a word, but then again he likes to make a statement.

I agree with him. DeGale is nothing special. I doubt he goes beyond British/European level. Darren Sutherland beat him 3 times out of 4.

Ive always liked Eubank. He might be right about Degale, but Im not in an informed postition to judge. Ive never actually seen Degale fight before.

eubank has done everything & he has the right to say what he believes, degale gats on my tits already so bored of him & he aint made his pro debut yet. he is in fkin love with himself & i cant see him going to far

He wasn't knocking degale's ability, just the comforts he has.

Like Fenster said, even with G medal, very few become genuine stars. Haven't seen much of Degale to jusge how he does as a proffessional. I don't know who the little fella next to Groves was, but something he said about himself may be relevant to Degale - he said he was taught a different style by the international coach (Edwards I assume) of straight shots from the outside, rather than his own come forward approach with hooks. It just occurred to me as he said it that Degale probably adjusted his style to this 'fencing' approach which was successful in the amateurs, especially his 4th fight with Sutherland, who he couldn't really compete with when the guys may have been 'proper' boxing. Don't really know as i haven't seen the fights outside the olympics.
