Who Will Go Further Andre Ward Or James DeGale?

The De Gale hype is getting way too much here , it really is

 

No offence to the TS but given both men's current standing it's not a question worth asking. Ward beat Kessler, Ward is WBA champ, Ward is leading man at 168 (to many, not me). DeGale could get flattened by Groves next time off and fade off into being a reality tv star, where most muppets are.

DeGale planets away from Ward. But I do think Warren will be monitoring the Stieglitz - Gevor fight very closely.

 

There is nothing special about degale at all. But ward... he's such a mature, rounded fighter you can't fail to be impressed. Ward would knock James out.

 

absoloute pure example of bull**** here.

Go back in time to when Ward had the same number of fights.

He was nothing special.

hell, after like 18 fights everyone thought he was making up numbers in the super 6

how short term peoples memories are after beating cyclops kessler and a couple of bums like bika and green

This Ward hype is getting out of hand, he's as untested as you like

 

Its difficult to go further than the level Andre Ward is at the moment, a lot of people think he is the best fighter in the division.

 

How do you know? Bet you hadn't watched a single one of his fights by then or even knew who he was. Not saying I did either but you can't justify your opinion about degale by making stuff up about Ward

Even though I think, along with Gavin, De Gale is Britains best prospect, this hype he is getting is a joke. Let's just put him P4P #1 in the rankings and get it over with.

 

Another ******ed post from Earl-Hickey. Shocker.

I’m not a particularly big fan of Ward, but he clearly has a much more rounded skill-set than Degale. His performances against solid opposition in the last two years are very impressive – solid, dominating wins over decent gatekeepers like Miranda and Bika, plus an excellent performance over Kessler. Green looked like he’d just turned up to spar, so I don’t give too much credit for that, especially when Johnson knocked him on his ass right after.

Ward had some shaky moments early in his career, but he was learning against decent opposition. It speaks volumes that Goosen and Ward’s team were happy to put him in against Kessler, Taylor (at the time) and Abraham so early in his career. I can’t imagine Warren taking that risk with Degale. There’s a reason why: he’d get beaten.

That doesn’t mean he can’t go on to do something good, but I can’t remember the last time people made such a fuss over a fighter for beating someone as average as Paul Smith.

 

I'm backing Gavin. He looks a lot classier.

 

He is not on the level of Ward nevermind Dirrell. He has a long way to go beating groves is nothing major.

 

Whens the last time a 10 fight prospect had two wins like Groves and Smith man?

not saying these are ATG wins, but they are damn good wins for a young kid like Degale
