What is it about James DeGale that people dislike so much?

hmm let's see, possibly reminds the uk punters of another I'm going to be a world champion before I've had my first pro fight Audley Harrison.

Much better to say I'm going to work hard to become a champion or I want to become world champion. To say that you WILL be comes over as arrogant.

I like DeGale. I couldn't give a funk that he's cocky. I like his style too.

If he came along under the radar like Kell Brook or Cleverly, people would only know him from his 14th/15th fight, then all start cumming in their pants about future world champ.

I wouldn't. I dislike him.

People who boo him when he fights need to look at what theyve achieved with their own life imo. I dont really like his attitude that much but id never boo and barring his 1st fight hes looked very good.

De Gale is a really nice young bloke off camera, hes cocky and I didnt really take him that well at first, but im behind him now after meeting him I think he would spark them to wrestlers from last night Smith and Quigley in one night.

Give it 12 months or so we may well get to see that. Quigley v Smith's rematch will be at least 3-4 months time, by which time DeGale will have another 2-3 fights behind him, by the middle of the year he'll be pushing for the title shot, and probably either Smith or Quigley will still be British champion.

Might be interesting to see someone try and take DeGale into a wrestling match and how he responds.

I have nothing against him; I think he deserves at least a chance!

As to why people may dislike him? I don't think, so much, that people think he will do an A-Farce I believe he will do a Khan: That's a premature move to PPV rather than falling over everytime he gets hit.
