Is anyone else already fed up with James De Gale?

Degale didnt look all that special , we will have to see if he is any good , but my opinion is he will need to pack a world class punch in order to be a top fighter , something Khan and Harrison lack.

hmm... you think ? Amir has had a couple of nice one or one-two punch knockouts,

your sentance would have made more sense to me if you said pack a world class chin

YOU FIND IT HARD TO UNDERSTAND MY POST ? I SAID WORLD CLASS PUNCH , NOT BEING ABLE TO KO BUMS AT DOMESTIC LEVEL , I THINK YOU MAY FIND KHAN DOESNT KO ANY WORLD CLASS FIGHTERS , AS YOU WONT SEE HARRISON KOING ANY TOP FIGHTERS.
SO TO SUM UP DEGALE WILL NEED A WORLD CLASS PUNCH IN MY OPINION TO MAKE IT .
AND YES KHAN AND HARRISON HAVE WEAK CHINS AT WORLD LEVEL TO.
DEGALE WILL HAVE TO TAK E A PUNCH ALSO.

Frankie Gavins is a way,way better prospect than Degale.

Good luck to Degale, but lets be honest he was there at the right place at the right time, he is nothing that amazing, id put the house on it that if the same fighters at the same olympics went at it ten more times Degale would be lucky to win it once, he was a 66/1 shot, very pleased he took his shot and won the Gold.

IMO i have seen George Groves many times and he would beat Degale if they met in the pro ranks, he is making his debut on Haye Barrett undercard and best Degale in 2006 aba's. Have a read of this

To be fair to Degale he had a tough,tough draw in even getting to the finals but i think he looked a little chinny at times and did not seem to like mixing it up much..maybe just his style but at the end of the day if you look at the people he fought on route to the final he had the hardest possible route.

I say good luck to him getting the big dough. As Skel said he was a huge outsider going to the olympics.

All the amatuer "experts" didn't give him a hope in hells of winning.. considering the Irish guy has beaten him about 30 times in the past you gotta question whether he half-fluked it... but now he is well known, it just makes his career FAR more interesting, whether people will like or hate him

It worries me that like Khan he's set to be a millionare before he sets foot in a pro ring
Unavoidable i guess after the Hype surrounding Khans entrance to the pro game but it must and will go to a mans head for sure.
Gonna be an interesting one i say but i don't think he's a world beater from what i have seen but good luck to him!

[Fenster]

I don't think it matters much he'll be "famous" and loaded before entering the ring because unlike Khan i don't think the "experts" believe he's much cop - do they?

Anyone know Degales amatuer record?
