So Cleverly is a year younger than DeGale, a champion and headlining

I saw DeGale fighting after all the talk about him, and I see he's a very good boxer, for a guy with 10 pro fights. I like his style. His personality helps as well, mix in the gold medal and you see why the guy is so hyped. I'll be rooting for him vs Groves.

The division is whack Dawson is the only good one At Light-Heavy? I think Hopkins, Pascal, and Cloud deserve a mention as well. Diaconu is not bad either. With Dawson, that's at least 5 good/notable fighters in LHW which is more than what many other divisions can say.

Cleverly is good, Degale has the potential to be great. Plus Olympic champions usually have that buzz about them

division isnt as wack as u make it seem. but with taht said, all of the top guys are either here or in canada, well with the exception of the road warrior Yea it is Pascal is one of the worst legit lineal champs Hopkins is gonna be done soon Cloud is just a rough, not that good And glen is at 168and also old Dawson is the only good fighter

DeGale is talented, but he should talk less. He sounds semi retarded.

Aren't they sharing the top of the bill? That would imply equal status.

if he hopes to get any kinda fame in a deep division, hes gonna have to come to the other side of the pond one way or another. The division is whack Dawson is the only good one

DeGale is the real deal. I just hope he fights the toughest opponents after Groves. The thing about DeGale is, he may want to be champ, but he loves London, and wants to stay there. So he doesn't have that same drive to make it in the States, like a lot of other fighters have. if he hopes to get any kinda fame in a deep division, hes gonna have to come to the other side of the pond one way or another.

Not about age Its about Talent and potential and Degale has WAY more

DeGale's been a pro for 2 years, and Cleverly for 6. Cleverly was still finding bums in his second pro year, which is nothing to be ashamed of at all, but DeGale is arguably a contender for a title already. If he beats Groves, he'll probably end up fighting against a guy like Sartison for a paper title. Oh and Gold Medal/Limitless Potential/Switch-hitter/Personality...

Seeing as their sparring matches were 50-50 I wouldn't say so. You saw them, did you?

degale is the real deal, hes gunna KO ugly kid inside 4 rounds on saturday

That olympic gold medal does the trick...........

Hes been a pro longer though. Its not really about age. Plus DeGale is more talented.

**** anyone see that ringside for DeGale vs Cleverly? was amazinggg

that is because degale has star quality, where as cleverly....just doesnt...

And he balanced that with a degree is something as boring and taxing as Pure Mathematics. I mean, he got a 2:2 which is a bit average. But still. He could be an accountant on good money not getting punched in the face. DeGale has a vocabulary of about 7 words and 6 of them are: D'you know what I mean?' Although to be fair if he wasn't a boxer I could see him working in T-Mobile.
