Should Degale turn pro?

[saturday_kid]

its a tough one, if he does stay for the olympics and gets gold in london 2012 the rewards will be mega! But saying that would he even qualify with maybe better youngsters coming through in the next few years. And if he turned pro the financial rewards will be big, i know odh is talking to frankie gavin so will be interested in degale after picking up gold.

He has to go Pro, no guarantee he will get to the games and if he does i think it will be long odds to repeat gold again.

Hes no bum, but i don;t think he is that great, and with the $1mill on offer for him t turn pro no doubt he should. if he doesnt he will be like 27 before he first pro fight, way to late to turn pro, way to late.

I did notice he does not like getting tagged at all.
Suspect Chin?
Maybe....but he has to turn Pro i reckon.

Strike while the irons hot, plus he needs to get out of the amateur habits before they get ingrained forever.

As for his chin, impossible to gauge how much of a punch he can physically take, but he doesn't seem to like to mix it up too much, seems quite common in succesful ameteurs as the hit and run tactic is rewarded in the scoring system. Audley wanted to be heavy champ without taking a punch, and I have an inkling Khan's philosyphy is quite similar and neither has overcome that aspect of their game.

he should go pro.He might stop around for London games and not win and that would be 4years wasted.

Yeah and also he might not even make the olympics who knows what other athletes will come through.
