Degale: a prime example of arrogance being a fighters undoing

He it totally finished..................

 

Groves
Degale
Frampton
Rees

ranked by level of shotness. Agree / disagree?

 

you've obviously taken too many punches to the head yourself

 

I wasn't aware of Groves falling off a boat post double cobraing? Is Froch aware of this / has officially added to the resume?

 

I don't know him personally so can't comment on Degale the man, but his boxing persona is incredibly arrogant and suffers from delusions of grandeur.

Part of that will be because it's inherit, part of that will be because of the amount of smoke he's had blown up his arse throughout his career, but most of that will be as a result of having Jim McDonnell as his trainer.

 

DeGale is a party boy, I've seen him in Ibiza, quite a few Essex nightspots, doesn't live the life

 

I've met James DeGale a few times and away from the cameras he is without doubt one of the most down to earth fighters I've ever met, a genuinely nice man.

I do understand what some say though because before I met him I thought he was a 24 carat bellend.

I just don't think he can help himself, stick a camera in front of him and it's like he gets tourettes, it's a real shame because most will just assume he is like that 24 hours a day.


As for being shot, he has had a lot of tough fights now, draining fights, they shouldn't have been like that, his ring ego has cost him and I personally believe most fighters can only do a few of those types of fights before it noticeable and sadly DeGale is starting to show all the signs of a fighter with too much wear and tear.

 

In terms of talent, boxing, hitting without getting hit, few are as good as Degale. Epecially as an amateur.
I always saw Degale as a top boxer who couldn't fight.
To be fair though, he had a fairly good career as a pro and an excellent amateur career.

 

i completely disagree him laying on the ropes is not a sign of arrogance, he just not a 12 round fighter and has shown that all his career and if hes arrogance than all fighters are because they are all trying to copy the Muhammad ali trash talking

 

DeGale looked totally finished when I saw him fight, sad....................

 

BJS will go the same way in that his arrogance will ruin him and his mouth even more so!

 

Well if being the current super-middleweight weight champ with millions still in the bank is finished then iIi will take that every day of the week. think what you are saying. how many boxers achieve what he has? Ok he is at the back end of his career but he is still relevant, as with Groves.
