    inside and outside the ring

    No Power/ Feather fisted :deal, will get no respect when fighting at world level

    gets lazy and loses concentration

    boring to watch zzzz

    Not a draw, needs Groves to be in a big event

    was on channel 5 but still hasn't got a high profile

    has found his level at european level

    dumb.. lacks intelligence seems like a boy trapped in a man's body

    Has an unlikable personality


    he may sneak a world title if he gets a vacant title and/or and easy opponent but no way will he reign for long
    Ward is always saying he hasn't got any opponents, if I was Degale I would be screaming to fight Ward but he never ever even mentions his name ( I doubt Ward has even heard of him) . he'd lose but he'd learn from the defeat, it would raise his profile, and hopefully make him more humble

    I think he come across well on ringside the other week alot better than groves did. With your analysis his done well to get to english title level. O wait won british title in 9th fight a record I believe. Won European title and a final eliminator for ibf world title Olympic gold medalist. . Yes in the past h hasnt helped him self but u cant knock his profile. And how many fighters are calling out ward. Not even froch whos the 2nd best in the division. So why wud degale when the other champs are available and beatable.

    naah he's good I just think as a pro hes only european level, was made for the amateur game should have stayed amateur along with Stalker. Stylistically he would have more chance against Ward than Froch as Ward can't punch, and it would be a much less damaging fight.

    Poor punching technique for a decorated amateur. Sits on the ropes, although that could be due to the knee (?) injury....

    Who is this Damn Guy, another dork that sprouts rubbish! Is it Solaris as he's gone quiet?

    DeGale got n the wrong side of people to start with I think he's almost turned that corner and has maneovered himself into a mandatory spot for IBF...

    I think he'll get a title before Groves does, I liked Groves until recent Froch fights, think I'm swaying with DeGale although I see what some say regarding his technique.

    yeah Taylor2010 is right about the sitting on the ropes he needs to sort that out it wil be a major flaw when he steps up... against a pressure fighter such as Froch he'd get slaughtered for doing that

    Also why is his nickname 'Chunky' when he isn't even fat!

    He does have some power, shown that at Wembley. He still hasn't found his level he is still winning fights fairly comfortably and lost to Groves along time ago and Groves is still to find his level also but I agree he is boring to watch and has no marketability.

    Pretty sure Ward would have heard of him seeing as he beat a Virgil Hunter trained Gonzalez.

    He gets hit too much, against a puncher, that could spell disaster.
