James Degale- Not aggressive enough!

[ykdadamaja]

I think that's his only problem. He is just not aggressive enough for a professional. He needs to ask himself if he wants it at this level...

[imp]

Hes playing the waiting game.
Letting froch and groves battle it out and see if he can pick up the pieces.

True. In a nutshell, I think he's a fringe contender level fighter.

Nonsense. He is just not aggressive enough. Groves will get slaughtered by Froch and Degale is no where NEAR being able to cope with Froch's pressure.

Degale needs to become more vicious... hit a guy 5 times in the face on the way down after a vicious shot.

He plays around in the ring too much. He needs to fight.

Now I much prefer Groves to DeGale, but if you know your boxing you can clearly see that DeGale would give Froch more problems than Groves but I believe they could both beat Froch on their best day.

Froch struggles against quick, defensive, "not aggressive" fighters like Ward and quick aggressive fighters like Taylor.

You are overestimating aggression, but DeGale has some very good tools.

I personally think he's just not good at using them.

degale will be world champ one day

and groves and degale both have a very good chance of beating froch

I believe in a rematch degale will beat groves

I like groves though and would be shouting his corner in that fight

Wtf?

Based on what? What has DeGale done since the Groves fight? Who has he fought?

The euro title that is it. Which was a snoozefest, just like pretty much all his fights since Groves.

Groves has been KOing decent level fighters every fight since he fought DeGale, now he is the Mandatory world challenger. I think DeGale is lucky to be as high as he is in the rankings.


I think Groves stops DeGale early if they fight again, simply because Groves seems to have improved a lot since their fight, whereas DeGale at best has stayed the same.
