James Degale - Best prospect in world boxing

A match up with Pirog would be very interesting indeed ....

 

Looked very good so far, He'd beat Anderson and Groves, imagine Groves Vs DeGale would be the next fight but not sure who they'd go for after that.

 

He might well be, gladly I called this, naming him best of the prospects.

 

You what?

 

He's looked good so far. There are a whole battery of tests he has yet to be proven against.

 

He must be one of them, as has been said its quality too see a british fighter with his style. I loved him standing in range with smith and blocking/parrying and countering him quality performance.

 

Best prospect not too sure about that. He still tends to slap and was warned by the ref in the last fight over it and he is a pro well over 18 months he shouldnt be still slapping a slight fault in his technique if you ask me. He still needs to work on that. Power of course you can up your power at his age it is just altering his training but if his technique is not up to scratch then he is not getting full power into his shots. Maybe if he brings in another trainer for some time to help him with his technique maybe he can do well. IF he doesnt he will be found out at the top level.

 

I dont think paul smith was ever hurt. his head was being knocked back as i think the tiredness was setting in. as soon as ref stepped in he was totally with it, not a good sign considering the amount of shots he took. alot of shots are cuffs and slaps. he has great skills but IMO he missing that something and will come up short at the top level. saying that i was never a khan fan until recently so who knows in the future. i do appreciate degales skills, i just cant imagine him competing at the top.

 

as far as the world stage goes, he is still a prospect.

 

froch beat abraham and he made it look easy. i dont think degale is any where near that level of toughness yet.

 

wtf?

 

can you imagine him competing in the world top ten? Hes got great skills as you'd expect from a world class amateur but for me he missing the punch and toughness to go with the skill. I hope im wrong and we have another future british world champ but im just not sold on him.

 

Maybe the power but not the toughness i think he'd be more than happy to tough it out if thats what it took to win.

 

I think i agree with you, he has got a fighters pride and would tough it out, but has he got the toughness? im just reserving judgement thats all im saying. im gonna sit back in my armchair and see how it plays out, im not a fan yet. :good
