    I don't see it im afraid..

    He crumbles under pressure, we have seen this in a few fights now, reminds me of Khan in someways. Excellent offense terrible defense, except James seems like he can take a punch.

    James for me needs a better trainer, needs to be in with some world class stablemates + a better promoter.

    I personally think he should move to the US, try and go with Freddy or Virgil.

      they fight similar. slappy punches, no power, except i give the advantage to ward because of his shoulder jump. how is degale going to deal with a guy jumping into him shoulder first? he's not! ward p4p #1!

        DeGale has talent he just seems very inconsistent with his effort, I think he could possibly give Froch some issues early but Froch would come on and put it on him toward the end.

        Ward I would say is just better DeGale could probably hang for the first third of the fight but I think he would be falling behind by that point and it only getting worse from there.

            I thought Degale started really well but again faded, looks like stamina is an issue.
            Switches too much for my liking and gets caught flat and square too often for my liking.
            He needs to get in better shape, he is a great talent but fear his ego will hold him back.
            Perhaps a top fighter would bring some focus. Who knows

                Look Degale has talent and may yet put it to use. But he lost that Groves fight by miles. They would have taken any excuse to give that fight to Degale, Groves didn't give them a chance.

                Why do people think he is better than Groves? Handspeed? Doesn't help khan. Defense? Groves gets hit less.

                The real reason and you all know it is because he's an ugly pasty white boy with no charisma. He beat Degale and he'd beat that MENTALLY MIDGET again

                  Groves was gifted the fight because he was the "nice guy" in the build-up.

                    No chance

                    He's not even close to that level.

                      Yeah like I care what a guy with Degale in his avi thinks! Keep fooling yourself that they let the good guy win. Absolutely sad when fans can't admit that fighters they like have lost. Grow up
