    definitely one to keep an eye on. :good

    good southpaw boxer.

    watch some of his amateur fights.

    definitely got a good solid foundation and can stand and trade well.

    he's not just a skills merchant. :nono

    How is that making a strong case against DeGale not being any good by saying you see a lot of Khan in him? ;)

    i disagree.

    he's a respectable hitter.

    not a big puncher i accept that.

    but he packs a fair wallop and has a much more solid look to him that khan ever did. :bbb

    whats wrong with the fact im waiting to see how he does against better opposition so far de gale looks good iv actually liked him better than the other olympians that went pro with him cause he dosnt rush for a ko but i still want to see them against better opposition because its easy to look good against someone with mainly a loss record

    Personally i think frankie gavin looks the best of the olympians that warren has signed, a good boxer no doubt. De gale just behind him imho.

    ye frankie gavin does look good does drop his hands a bit but im sure theyll sort that out further down the line but to help with that he has brilliant reflexes some of the shots iv seen him duck and just step back from are timed brilliantly

    He is a good boxer with a lot of potential but he is such a ****. He will never get the backing of the fans.

    Darren Sutherland is probably the pro out of all the newly turned British prospects, he's adapted very quickly. That being said i think they all have limitless potential, all have very strong points. :good

    De Gale needs to train in the US to learn the style of US boxers. He is a ytpical British type of boxer who has potential to be v good but will always fall short.

    I haven't seen this kid. Give me something to measure him against. Can he beat Korobov right now, today?

    It's the same with all the new talent that has money behind it, looks good in the early fights but only when the real tests come can we make a true judgement. Warren will protect these guys all the way.
    Frankie Gavin has the flashy moves and if he makes the most of his ability can go far.
