james degale future world champion!!!

Degale looks the business but shouldn't be thrown into world titles too soon. He should make the fight with Groves. Then take on some established Europeans, Khoren Gevor, Karoly Balzsay or John Paul Mendy. Follow that up with with recognisable world name, Sakio Bika or Edison Miranda and then there are a host of soft world titles there for the taking.

 

not magee

 

If he keeps improving sky is the limit. Def. needs additional experience before taking on the world, but he's ready for the continental and B level inside 10 fight and in 12 I'd throw him in with Allan Green - I think he's that good.

 

fUTURE BELLEND YES! AND YES HE WILL BE A WORLD CHAMPION AT SOME STAGE IF GROVES DOESN'T BEAT HIM TO IT

 

The division is stacked but if he is matched up against a Germany based 'champion', he should win a World title in 2-3 years.

 

What's the story behind the DeGale-Groves rivalry? I'm yet to see a Groves fight but it looks like our posters from the UK are (or were) split who'd win. Is he a top-notch talent too?

 

:good

His defence inside is fantastic, his hand speed is electric and he can bang

A future world champion I have no doubt, and America will love his brash cocky deminor

A closed mouth doesn't get fed. And Im sure DeGale will go far

 

future belt holder for sure, anything more than that is still up in the air

 

They are rivals from their amateur days. Both gobby Londoners who just don't like each other. De Gale beat Groves in the race to get to the Olympics and then went on to win Gold.

Although quite talented Groves does not look anywhere near as good as De Gale. He is too reckless and would get KOd if they ever fought. I would say Groves is a Euro level fighter.

 

Hope he loses his "Ward/Hopkins" act on his way to it.
He doesn't need dirty tactics, and shouldn't use it.

 

I recently interviewed and wrote an article on DeGale just prior to his clash with Smith. I was confident he would win; being in the Echo with that many scousers was kind of bizarre as I was one of very few in his corner. Despite his mouthy nature infront of the camera, he's a pretty decent chap.

If anyone is interested, the article is here; http://www.sportsvibe.co.uk/degale-can-see-world-stage-on-the-horizon/

Probably not, but it seemed kind of relevant to the thread as I discuss his credentials as a potential challenger on the world stage. It's just nice that post-Smith, a few others are beginning to recognise those credentials.

 

Take this **** to the British forum cocksucker.
