if degale is remotely switched on to that side of the business, he should see that whatever short term gains he can get from fishface, he will do better to choose a slightly more honest route if he wants real glory.
**** the ams, he should turn pro now. He reminds me a lot of Monzon, I bet he would take Pavlik right now, and Frank would be the one to get him the shot. He did it for Lockett.
He`s talking ****. When money talks the bull**** runs the marathon. Khan said the same thing. His been a pro for a few years now.
Agreed, although I hope he gets stopped several times before then. And during then. And after then (if he's still fighting).
He would have to be Britains best prospect when he turns pro and although I do not like Warren a move in that direction would be pretty good, as long as the kid is not extremely chinny.
he took a couple of big shots pretty clean, he reminds me of hamed when he gets hit, head and arms all over the place yet avoids further punches somehow
Put yourself in his shoes. Warren will come to him first, offer him the most money, say ''We will have you on Amir Khan undercards etc etc, make you loads of money, then go straight for the big fights in the USA, I will make you a bigger star then Ali'' Same old crap. But Warren will definately get him.
Hopefully he stays away from Warren. It should be interesting to see, Haye has already signed a few decent prospects so we never know. Either way, he's gonna have to do a lot of adjusting to his style in order to be a top pro. The MW/SMW division is slowly heating up there's a lot of potential e.g. (Dirrell brothers, Andre Ward, Danny Jacobs, Joe Greene, Andy Lee, Sutherland, Groves) + (Pavlik, Taylor, Abraham, Kessler, Froch, Pascal). He's entering a competitive division. Exciting times ahead.
his words for staying were if his coach stays, if he gets more money, a nice house and a nice car. well the coach is under severe outside pressure, i think the uk boxers already get more than most other uk atheletes and a nice house in london wont see any change from 350k and i dont see him driving around in a fiesta! so thats some package he is after, dont reckon realistically he will get it and he will get offer big money from pros. could do worse than going with warren as by his own admission most of guys he fought in olympics had beaten him before and u dont get many second chances in boxing. well unless u zab judah! degale would do well to sign for 2 years with warren, learn pro game, get good money and step up at only 24.
He shouldn't sign with Warren. That way, when he fights three years worth of stiffs, followed by by a WBO title shot, everyone will give him credit for it.
