Comments Thread For: James DeGale: If I Can't Do This Then I Will Call it a Day!

JAMES DEGALE knows the stakes are high in Las Vegas with his career on the line. The British super-middleweight bids to win back the IBF title in a rematch with Caleb Truax in the city where fortunes are won and lost. But the Londoner insists he was never going to gamble by dumping trainer Jim McDonnell, who has been by his side since he turned pro after winning gold at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

Think he should call it a day, the other champions will batter him. The 2 biggest fights for him are Groves and Eubank Jr, I think both will seriously hurt him.

Talented fighter. He is however his own worse enemy. Win, lose or draw...retirement may not be too far off.

Should consider it anyway. Win-lose-draw this guy takes a horrible amount of punishment in every fight. In his last 3 alone he probably took more punishment than most fighters do their whole careers.

Never a good sigh when a fighter talks retirement... Put all your money on Truax! Indeed I just did it. Not "all" my money, though.. But I, just like you, think that if a fighter is already envisioning retirement, it's usually a signal for something seriously broken inside. I hope Truax has doubled his homework!

Turkish. Rather embarrassingly for Chunky it was the same dude who had his sh1t pushed in by Eubank Jr not so long ago. Turkish....not Russian. You're right.

That russian dude who knocked his teeth out in sparring took his heart. Badou Jack took what was left of his soul. It's hard to be as c0cky as "Chunky" was, take a couple ass whoopings, and still be the same afterwards. Turkish.

I don't normally have any time for Degale but I like his loyalty to Jimmy Mac who is a good trainer and he could have easily blamed him as many would.He's honest enough to tell it like it is here. Didn't want a late a late Vegas fight tonight but may have to. Might just be a good un.

Message for DeGale: The game is to hit and NOT get hit! Sir, you've been getting hit A LOT lately! Even if you win this fight, but you're getting hit A LOT, you might want to consider calling it a day!
