    That sums it up. He doesn't have a ****ing clue what he's talking about. :lol:

    Apparently power is the be all and end of of boxing according to this guy, and apparently DeGale is just a poor man's Naz.

    It wouldn't make a decent forum post, let alone an "article".

    Yeah, stick DeGale in with Pavlik.

    How about these for the undercard.....

    BJ Saunders vs Arthur Abraham
    Frankie Gavin vs Manny Pacquiao
    Kevin Mitchell vs Edwin Valero
    Nathan Cleverly vs Tavoris Cloud

    last but not least.....

    Derek Chisora vs Vitali Klitschko

    oh wait.... make that one :D

    the NABO title is the North American Boxing Organisation. So DeGale and Cleverly could not fight for it unless they moved to the US and lived there for 3 years lol.

    If people are seriously considering Katsidis for Mitchell, I don't see Valero as much a higher class than that.

    Agree with the rest, would love to see Chisora get a serious pummelling though :deal

    It's clear that this ''writer'' hasn't got a clue what he is trying to put across within his piece.

    Like Gaz said, it wouldn't class as a half-decent forum post, in fact I'd go a step further and say that I'd get bored reading it about a third of the way down and exit the thread. It's gash.

    There's no opening to the article, no argument/counter argument..... it's basically a ''I don't think DeGale and Cleverly are that good'' article that a reasonably bright ten year old could put together.

    I'm no journalist, but even without practice I'd be able to write a far better article than that, with a better title, in far less words whilst also getting my point across and inserting a counter argument and a fair conclusion.

    The boy sounds like he hasn't started puberty yet, how the **** is he allowed to write about pugilism.

    the boy didn't do his homework either, i was under the impression that degale was fighting in the SMW division.
    I am not degale's biggest fan, but there was no basis for this argument at this point in time, maybe in another 10-15 fights, but not now.
    As reagards clev, this guy is on another planet. 6 straight stoppage wins and he looks solid as **** at LWH.
    I too hope this **** does not get paid to write this article

    isnt it the same site where the guy came out with an article about Haye being chinny every two weeks?
