DeGale Not Impressed by David Haye: "I Can Beat Valuev"

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Has anyone slamming the guy even read the article? It's a ridiculous headline and it's totally misrepresenting the quotes made by DeGale.

[IZONFIST]

well he's already beaten

To play devil's advocate. If DeGale says the fight was boring, that Valuev was one of the worst champions in the history of the division and said Valuev was such a poor fighter that even he, a super middleweight, could beat him, then how impressed was he with Haye's win? He gave him some props but he certainly plays down the win at the same time. He wasn't being sarcastic. To says that he with a few pro wins can beat Valuev is absurd.

Whoooowl, hold your horses Degale. Dont run before you can walk. Win a title in your own weight class first before putting Valuev down like that, and haye. But i dont think haye could have stopped Valuev, even with two good hands.
Valuev would have shook his head at haye all night long, no matter how many punches haye bounced off of his head.

But what did haye say that upset you?

He said as many good things as bad. Haye's style isn't good to go toe to toe with someone 7 foot. So I would atleast have some good words too considering it can be misleading to readers and then they may hold grudges because headlines always stick out in memory over a whole article.

I wasn't impressed by Haye either.

Backhanded compliment from a noob.

George Groves is a far superior prospect than DeGale.

He owned him once, and will do so again.

Groves is going to be big stuff. No doubts about it. I haven't seen a British fighter as talented since Hamed. DeGale is a better fighter than many people give credit. He has excellent handspeed and if maturity adds more power to his punching he'll be a tough proposition for anyone. But he's not George Groves.

I think Degale could beat Carl Froch

I think Degale could beat Carl Froch

What - right now? No way could he beat Froch now. Yes, he has the handspeed to pepper Froch at will. But he lacks the experience and punching power to keep Froch off him. He'd be battered within an inch of his life.

Perhaps in the future.
