Is Degale another Audley in the making?

He has talked WAY too much and unfortunately his game is terrible. Much like Audley he doesn't engage much and hasn't taken to the pros very well. He obviously has the ability to do things but not replicate what he did at the ams.

He is on a bull**** learning curve at present. Gavin and Groves are on real learning curves.

 

I think he's decent but the 'gangsta' attitude needs to go, I hate all that pretensious bull****. No need to pretend to be something your not just because you win a gold, in fact thats probably the coolest time just to be yourself.

 

I think he is a bit over-rated, cant see him doing much, Audball written all over him

 

I suppose at the very least he has a few years more than Audley had to come to his senses. Audley was already knocking on a bit when he won his gold medal.

 

Yeah, he might have to take a loss. It helped and changed many before him - Haye, Khan etc

 

he has not shown much so far give him another year and see what happens saunders fights like a bum IMHO i think he was fighting a latvian journeyman not so long ago and by looking at them u couldnt really seperate who the better man was how he managed to qualify as an olympian baffles me his skill set resembles that of a journeyman

you reckon he could beat wlad,vitali or haye the man who failed to pick up a commonwealth title against an under trained danny williams and the guy who went on to getting schooled by dominic guinn is going to beat either of those 3 if thats what yout suggesting that has to be the most absurd thing iv read audley couldnt even beat an irish cabby in rogan and hes going to come back and pick up a world title if only they were handing out world titles like they were handing out gold medals in the Sydney olympics 9 years ago:yep

 

Smith, Dodson and Quigley on the domestic scene. I'm worried talent alone might be able to beat them. Magee might give him something real interesting to think about though.

 

yup he's annoying!

"tell em frank! yea! tell em jim!.. had a slow start then found my rythem & knocked them all out! yea tell me jim!" ...his glass ego kind of reminds me of pbfloyd.

 

:rofl:roflHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:rofl:rofl

THAKS FOR YOUR INPUT FRAUDLY!!!!!...

But Degale looks near certain to fail....His less active/ Lazy Joe Calzaghe style may get him a WBU belt....but no more than that!

 

No he will not be another Audley, he is with Warren from the beginning, he is being groomed for success.

 

Chunky will do okay, I think he needs to switch trainer though...

FW will keep him heading down a well worn path that has brought plenty of success and greenbacks to those who have tread it's path before...:good

 

He was awful in his last fight. In an early fight picked for him to boost his record, he was slapping and switching stances. Looked a mess.

Someone further up mentioned his learning curve, and from what i have seen so far he is going the wrong way about it. I have met him and seems like a nice lad when with boxing fans etc.. but needs to drop the attitude when in front of a camera.

I hope he does well, maybe a change in trainer might help.

 

He will be kept safe so who knows how far he will go. Probable WBO champ with 20 defences.
