Degale,Barker,Andy Lee, Craig McEwan Am I missing something?

all these guys seem very average to me yet ppl on the british boxing scene (I understand Lee is irish) think otherwise, iv watched boxing for a while despite my newbie status i'm usually right when seeing how far some of these talents can go, Craig Mcewan had problems with a journeyman level fighter yet roach thinks he has it in him to beat angulo or pavlik, Lee is a better version of duddy (and thats no complement), Barker was brought to bare by a frech european level fighter, and Degale has looked quite sloppy and very ammaturish in all his fights IMO. i dont see any of them making it that far at world stage they'll all get found out at some point (lee will be exposed a 2nd time)

 

lee and duddy have absolutely no fighting comparison mate
gtfo of here mate lee has got skills... speed power decent chin good jab etc..
needs to step up his level of competition admittedly but your talkin shite

 

none of them, add Macklin to the list, will become a legitimate world champion (as in lineal/ring) but some of them are good fighters.

 

You couldn't be further from the truth! I really can't think of two more different fighters on the planet!

 

You're obviously not watching too closely are you? So if you don't rate any of these guys, who do you rate at the moment? All the boxers you mentioned could do something on the world stage (with the exception of McEwan), to write them all off would be stupid.

 

both have stayed at the same level for a long time, to long. thats where the simulatiry lies.

 

they both have open defences lee gets caught way too much he was almost shown up by the french guy who was robbed by barker if he's a punch away from being TKO'd by a fighter of that calibere there no way he'll cut it at top level

 

This. I think maybe one will pick a title up even 2 is a stretch with the way middleweight is shaping up at the minute.

 

Add Barker to that list if that's the case, 6 years as a pro and he's only now stepping up a level. His toughest fight to date was against someone Lee already beat so surely he belongs on that list also.

 

if i'm not mistaken lee was nearly TKO'd going into the final round by that same fella that was robbed against barker

 

:good

:deal This end thread on lee

 

No he was not almost tko'd. He had a bad round, he got caught and held on. This does not equate to nearly getting tko'd, so you are mistaken...again.

 

lee took one shot from belgechem nothing like being tko'd
the quality of posters in the brit forum is gettin better

 

would of been intresting if it had gone 12 though.

 

Barker had plenty of trouble against belchingham but to sy he robbed him is a bit over the top I think.
