Dwyer: "James DeGale Beats Andre Dirrell, Lucian Bute and Mikkel Kessler" (Video)

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Well, I'm not convinced enough to bet on him against top opponents. But if he's really an effective switch hitter in the ring, I wanna watch his fights.

Go to Frank Warren's youtube page, most of his fights are on there

I'm sure a Bute left uppercut as DeGale comes in will change Dwyer's opinion instantly.

[BoxCleva]

That certainly is a bold statement

And at such an early stage of Degale's career he appears to already be a high caliber fighter but his level of opposition so far might be the reason why. I guess time will tell, those fights could happen down the line.

For sure, he could be the goods but he still has a lot to prove.

Pretty much thought everyone stopped taking that guy's opinion seriously.

That is where Im at. Sad, because I used to like to hear his thoughts before the big fights. But he is so off now its like he just stopped caring.

[Silencers]

DeGale has talent and has gotten better fight by fight and I think he'll beat Groves but the top guys at 168 is too big a step for him right now. Maybe in a couple of years time if he keeps up his progress.

[Earl-Hickey]

Show me another fighter, at 168 who beat someone as good as smith in their 9th fight

[Mr. Philadel]

Uhmmm.... In his 9'th fight Kessler fought an 11-1 opponent. Kessler was 19 years old. DeGale is 24. By the time Kessler was 24 he was the WBC international champion.

DeGale is a good prospect but pull another one.



As for Dwyer, well he's been on the downside for some time now.

[bboy80]

That is an extremely bold prediction. I think the best he's prob faced in sparring would be Nathan Cleverly.

If he overcomes groves which most think he will, Magee would pose a proper test.
