Is anyone else already fed up with James De Gale?

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!

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?

I wasn't that impressed by De Gale in the olympics. He looks weak, and light weight and I don't think he likes to mix it, and I'm not sure about his ability to take a punch. The Irish kid who he beat in the semi's looks a much better pro prospect
