    Warren's offer may not have been the highest, but I would guess that it offered the most money early, if you get me.

    Also a guaranteed world title shot without having to beat anyone decent.

    Tempting, I must admit.

    Maybe I will give 5-aside footy the red card, and take up fighting.

    Right now Sutherland would stop him.

    Impossible to call it later on in their careers though.

    Witter is the perfect example of a devestating puncher with a non-punchers record. No doubt the man can bang.

    I think the best out of the three (suited to the pros) is Billy Joe Saunders. Think Gavin and Degale will struggle as they don't seem to be able to punch.

    Was not expecting such a landslide on the votes. I think though that DeGale's style has ams written all over it. Hope he proves me wrong and goes on to be great, just cant see it though.

    Depends on the distance. I think DeGale would have a chance to outslick and outbox him over a shorter distance. Sutherland got hit by a few jabs from that can. No doubt he'd struggle with DeGale's speed and southpaw lead at this stage.

    Over 12 Sutherland would be favourite to catch up with him, DeGale needs a big adjustment period.
