James DeGale Lashes Out at Joe Calzaghe and David Haye

[Sir Tom Jones]

Degale needs to get his head down and do his own thing before he talks crap.

His olympic medal won't mean **** when he steps in the ring as a pro.

[The Gunner]

Wow.

A lot of DeGale hate already before he's even thrown a punch as a pro. The kids talented, the MW division at the oympics was one of the deepest and i doubt an overrated fighter would have took the gold the way he did. Ive been hearing DeGale is actually a seriously big puncher, Steve Bunce mensioned it anyway.

Lets not over hate and over hype this kid like we done Khan.

[Addition]

LOL @ the comment about him being better looking than Haye, he talks and looks like a ******. Other than that hopefully he is a success.

[S.G.]

Olympic gold medal winner James DeGale has lashed out at countrymen Joe Calzaghe and David Haye, vowing to make both fighters eat their words. Haye and Calzaghe questioned DeGale's ability to make a big impact as a pro. The 23-year-old middleweight won gold at the 2008 Beijing games. He recently signed a two-year deal with promoter Frank Warren worth £1.5 million. [details]

This kid should just keep quiet. If he proves them wrong then he proves them wrong. He doesn't need to set himself up for a fall.

And I heard what Haye said about him. And Haye's absolutlety right. All he said was that Degale's got an amateur style which is very true. And for that reason Haye's not sure whether Degale will make a quality pro. Degale should realise that what Haye said is true and he should work on honing his style to suit the pro's. There's no need to get angry.

This is going to be Amir Khan all over again.

Its going to be worse than Kahn. DeGale's tap and hold style will get him nowhere.

[Sage84]

they were both born in exactly the same place too!

hmmm interesting.

U fancy approaching both teams with me and trying to co-promote it?? lol

He was great at the Olympics but i'm not sure if he will make it in the pros and he definatley ****ed his career over by signing with Frank Warren.

Why do you say that? Warren's taken Hamed, Naseem and Calzaghe pretty far.

EDIT:
I meant Hatton, Naseem and Calzaghe.

I really dont get the ammount of hate thats thrown at up and coming fighters on here. You would think people would get behind potentially great boxers rather than ****ting all over them.
