    Lee loses IMHO. I've only seen him a couple of times tbh but I've not seen anything that makes me think he's going to be overly competitive with degale

    As long as Degale has a half decent chin, which hasn't been proven yet, he takes Andy Lee to school.

    Lee has no chance. None.

    A mule might be pushing it. He hit McEwan quite a lot for a guy that hits like a mule. Decent puncher.

    That certainly gives anyone more than a chance but I'm not sure degale will let any below works level within an inch of his chin, let alone Andy lee

    He has knocked everyone one of his opponents down nearly bar belcgham(very good chin) I think and he had him nearly gone with body shots , McEwan said it was the hardest he has ever been hit in sparring or fighting so I would reckon Andy Lee has one of the biggest ko punches in he game p4p .

    :lol: I think you're pushing it a wee bit. Most of those guys he's put down are tomato cans etc. It's not as if these are world class guys.

    maybe it is pushing it a small bit
    some of the lads he has dropped have very good chins like sipos who went the distance with luis garcia without being dropped

    Let's not go overboard here, he certainly hits very hard but that's a bit of a stretch. I'm reserving judgement on that particular area of his game for the moment.

    Andy Lee can hurt and potentially stop anyone at 160lbs. Make no mistake about it. He hits very hard and punches through his opponent, similar to that of Alexis Arguello or Michael Carbajal. Sharp, straight punching.

    Yep Lee would still have about an inch and a half reach advantage even though he's only a middleweight ( good straight puncher ) .I think the size would be pretty even man cause Degale was a middleweight in the am's and Lee's a big middle .I think he should stay at middleweight though .Lee said in his last post fight he can box better than what he did against McEwan but still showed plenty of heart and chin anyway .Pavlik is the one fighter that comes to mind who's tried to move up from middle and failed .He used to be good tae ( hit hard at middleweight) .Got a few good wins but destroyed off Hopkins and Martinez .
