    How crap they are compared to Amir Khan.

    The excitment, and media attention is crap. No one really care's about them, and let's face some cold hard facts.

    Amir Khan is exciting to watch......

    I don't think any of them, will reach the status Amir Khan has reached.

    None of them will really become house hold items.

    We have the crap looking, James degale.

    And two pale pretenders...

    makes you realise that running and hen-pecking for 15 rounds in a 2 week amateur competition is pretty irrelevant in the pro ranks. Rogan's win over Fraudley sums it up nicely.
    With DeSnail we can look forward to a highlight reel KO loss similar to Khan-Prescott.

    Yeah alot of people forget how young Khan is , I mean he is younger than Degale and while Degale was making his pro bow, Khan in under 2 weeks will be fighting Barrera, Crazy.

    Saunders, looked the best.

    But still, nothing to phone the police over.

    i think everybody is giving them all a hard time, Khan was built up and hyped,helped by his deal with itv which meant maximum exposure! all these fighters have to start somewhere, all the fighters last night were picked to lose, and that will be the case, but im sure there are a couple of bright futures on display last night. just my opinion tho, cause alot of people on here just loves to hate!!

    Are you crazy Saunders looked very impressive. Hi hand speed and the way he put his punches together was impressive.

    Gavin has every shot in the book, did you not see his work to the body. His defence was slightly weak at times but he was fighting at home and under pressure.

    DeGale was crap.

    Jefferies on friday night was also very impressive.

    Also a case can be made that guys the olympians fought were better opponents than khans first.

    You are getting those two things mixed up I think. Talent and hype don't necessarily always equate.

    It's way, way too early to make any judgements anyway.

    Saunders was the best of the bunch by a long way. Definate star in the making. Degale needs to learn how to punch, he looked terrible.

    i liked jeffries a lot on friday, decent speed, good power, brilliant movement in and out, great balance and an awsome jab

    but his opponent was hopeless, and theres still question marks over agilityand chin which havent been tested yet

    Degales style is suited to amateur boxing, his style of punches he used last night will not keep quality opponents off off him and he will be KO'd if he carries on like that. Hell even the bum he fought last night visibly grew in confidence when he realised Degale couldnt hurt him.
