    British fans tell me about him I have heard good things. Weight class? Record? I heard Shawn Estrada is coming for Him!

    His a good Super Middleweight prospect ranked 5 by the WBO, who recently beat the 29-1 Paul Smith.
    He looks good he's an Olympic gold medalist so it is promising

    There is this awesome place on the interweb that has loads of fighters records and upcoming bouts.....I think you can find it if you put your mind to it. I will give you a hint, it is a combo of the words boxing and record .com

    I hope that I have now changed your life forever.

    So your saying they aren't both slappers? They aren't both fast handed southpaws?....they aren't both sloppy in what punches they throw?....

    DeGale is more comparable to Mayweather when he was making the transition from an offensive to defensive fighter, if anything. I don't think it's a good comparison, but it's better than a Calzaghe one.

    Calzaghe was pretty much a swarmer. DeGale is a counter puncher.

    Very talented SMW prospect who developed somewhat in the pro ring the past 12 months, he's my prospect of the year. Ridiculous handspeed, top notch ring IQ, very elusive, developing power, a total package in the works. A bit of a Roy Jones in natural talent and a bit of Ward/Mayweather in boxing skills and some illegal tactics.
