David Haye has revealed to told setantasports.com that
he would have no interest in signing Olympic gold medallist
James Degale,
David Haye: “He’s not my cup of tea in terms of style though. I’ve got
a guy in George Groves who beat him in the last domestic fight he had
pretty handily. I think as a professional. He wouldn’t only beat him, he’d
stop him. I don’t look at the gold medallists and say they’re the best
guys. It’s more like fencing then it is professional boxing. People win two
points in the first round then run, for the rest of the fight. In a professional
fight they’d lose that round. I think Sutherland the guy Degale beat in the
semi-final, as a professional. He’s got a lot more scope for winning a
world title.
“If you look at myself, Ricky, Joe didn’t go to the Olympics. A lot of the
Best British fighters didn’t go but had the style to win an world title, being
an Olympic champion and a world champion is worlds apart. And as the
amateur game is changing with the computer scoring that is killing the
sport they’re getting further apart.”
