James Degale,my 1st fight will be a walk in the park

[Bomp]

No prices yet or i would have told you

Thick as shit? Ive seen billions of them too.

What did he say about Eubanks comments?

He called Eubank mad, plus some other things. Come to think of it he isn't that way off on Eubank being mad - you'll find his comments on ESB or boxingscene, can't remember which one.

Maybe he is being cocky just to get people to his fights even if he knows they won't like him, either way he's detting himself up for a fall big time.

I read it. Seems like the response I would expect from him. I think Eubank was a bit out of order with his comments too.

I think DeGale is genuinely cocky. As you say - if he doesn't back it up he'll look a mug. But chances are he will "fail" anyway.

I like the prospect of all these AM guys meeting as pros - Groves, Sutherland, Degale.. sooner see them do well than fail.

Guess for now i'll be DeGales only Saddo supporter

I like the prospect of these fights as well, but they don't always happen, Hatton-Witter, Khan-Thaxton-Murray.

Degale simply hasn't learned from Audley/Khan's mistakes. From his comments he sounds as if he believes that simply turning up to train and going through the motions will get him to the top. Eubank may have been a bit harsh, but I think he was using the words 'guarantee he'll fail' to underline his point about the absolute necessity of having genuine hunger to succeed in the pro ranks. Eubank wasn't attcking Degale's character, only his decision, whereas the reply was quite personal, especially from someone who's yet to prove anything.

Contrast his behaviour with Gavin's, who seems to just want to stay quiet and do his talking in the ring.
