Comments Thread For: James DeGale's Fight Options: Fielding, Kessler, Dirrell

[Jewish-Reptile]

I'd like to see Kessler-DeGale sometime.

Myself too,I'd favor DeGale too at this point,with DeGale's standout year last 6-12 month,his convincing displays in the year previous to the run up to his cracking wins.ive actually taken a lot to him.

I'll be rooting for him against any one of Groves,Dirrell and Froch,but certainly not Kessler.would I bet on Mikkel winning,it's just impossible to know what Kessler shows up at this stage now.I watched Adamek put in consecutively worse performances than the last these last three years,hoping in vain he'd reapply himself,find some motivation etc I'd hate to see that with Mikkel.

exactly the smiths get favouritsm treatment cause theres 4 of them they dont have to defend the titles and they get world title shots which theyve got no chance of winning, blatent corruption pisses me off lol.

Paul smith loses a competitive fight against abraham, so i wouldnt say he has no chance of winning!
Which other smith brother has had a world title shot? Im intruiged......

Why does it have to be in the UK,if Haymon wins a purse it goes to the States,that simple.

I don't think Haymon makes purse bids.

What happened to DeGale-Ramirez?

He dropped in the rankings but I don't think Arum wanted Ramirez ruined by Froch, he has star potential.

I like Fielding, i'd like to see him fight Paul Smith..he shouldn't be getting thrown in the mix with names like DeGale though.

Kessler is a decent fight i think though. Dirrell has the potential to be a really good fight.

Surly it's up to the IBF who it is! there's also a couple of good points here. Firstly I was under the impression that it was going to be Ramirez & secondly, why does it have to happen in the UK?

I think Kessler is shot - it showed against Froch.

Dirrell could be interesting - more competitive.

Fielding? GTFO.

I have been a big DeGale fan from the very start of his career, he wasn't always the most professional outside of the ring, but there is no doubt that he can fight. Kessler would be a great fight however what has he got left in the tank??

Dirrell would be his best option, rocky fielding?? surely not. huge step back for him.

Though I am also on the side of Froch that he should get to pick and chose who he fights at this stage of his career.

As soon as Froch is out of the picture DeGale will be the one everyone will be after (lets face it Ward isn't gonna fight before my 30th birthday...)

Smiths are just another crop of Scousers hype. They will get exposed as soon they face someone with a pulse.

I had hopes for Callum Smith but his so called "Power" wont bail him out against A level fighters.
