Why do all the Brits hate James DeGale?

[Shadows]

I think it's a shame Napa isn't able to make 105/108.

He has arguably the most skills of any British fighter that I've seen, and they would be put to better use against opposition that is smaller and closer to his size.

wazza stop hating on joe calzaghe

why do you hate him so much???

i met joe after the jeff lacy fight,he such a nice guy and so down to earth,i stayed in the same hotel as him and we were chilling with joe the next morning,kool kool guy

Because he's white.

[sultanisking]

Because he's white.

So with that logic, you admit that Britains don't like DeGale because he is black.

Bias Brits

Why do all Brits think the same?

****en Brits

He has got alot of potential no doubt, and i tend to get behind all British fighters, im not to sure on DeGale though.
Its a good thing to be confident, essential even, but i think he over does the '****y' attitude.
I was right next to his 'entourage' at the Smith fight, and they all acted the same way he does to be honest, and i think that left a bad taste.

I think British fans will get behind there fighters, but they prefer the ****y confidence to come into play after the fighter has achieved something on a bigger stage, as oppose to it being in over-drive after a handful of pro-fights. Like anywhere else it will split fans down the middle, some wont like it, some will love it.

He certainly looks the a good prospect for the future though at present.

Nothing to do with skin color. Degale is just ****y. Watch his entrances to the ring, they are a joke.

becuz hes black

People were initially worried he was going to be another Audrey after his arrogant ring-walk and terrible pro-debut.

He's walked the walk since then. He is very skilled. I do worry about McDonnell though, he might need a better trainer. He'd be a good fit with ****m Richardson or someone of that ilk - his defence is the best of any British boxer I've seen for a while. He's very comfortable in there.

I don't think he is a very concussive puncher.

[S.G.]

I don't think he is a very concussive puncher.

I wouldn't say he's got bad power but he slaps a bit sometimes.

[The Surgeon]

I wouldn't say he's got bad power but he slaps a bit sometimes.

Calzaghe IS his favourite fighter afterall.....
