What is it about James DeGale that people dislike so much?

Okay, saw him cruising to another comprehensive win tonight, outboxing an opponent who was undefeated, but clearly overmatched against DeGale there, and he does seem to be growing and improving from the disappointing first performance.

I think when he's interviewed he comes across as a confident, but fairly decent young fella, yet still he seems to get a lot of boo-boys at every venue.

Is it just a case of everybody assuming he'll do an Audley, and getting their boos in so they can say they were right if or when he fails, or does he really rub people up so badly?

It's a thin line from confident to cocky, and DeGale is close to it, but I'm sort of looking forward to see him develop, and I reckon he'll continue winning through to British title at least, if not bigger and better from there.

hmm let's see, possibly reminds the uk punters of another I'm going to be a world champion before I've had my first pro fight Audley Harrison.

Much better to say I'm going to work hard to become a champion or I want to become world champion. To say that you WILL be comes over as arrogant.

I like DeGale. I couldn't give a funk that he's cocky. I like his style too.

If he came along under the radar like Kell Brook or Cleverly, people would only know him from his 14th/15th fight, then all start cumming in their pants about future world champ.

I wouldn't. I dislike him.

People who boo him when he fights need to look at what theyve achieved with their own life imo. I dont really like his attitude that much but id never boo and barring his 1st fight hes looked very good.

De Gale is a really nice young bloke off camera, hes cocky and I didnt really take him that well at first, but im behind him now after meeting him I think he would spark them to wrestlers from last night Smith and Quigley in one night.
