Degale said he would drop down in weight to face gg

[OnePunch]

They have to at least make the effort. They shoot down opponents without even making an effort. They never even tried to make a Lara fight and Sanchez said Monroe was a bigger draw than Lara.

There's this pattern where anytime a decent fighter wants to fight GGG his fans make a million excuses for why the fight won't happen instead of ways the fight could happen. Why don't his fans want to see him fight better competition? They've really bought into this unify all the belts talk even if that means fighting sub-par competition in order to do so while leaving good fights on the table.

Why? They should waste time to appease 7 people on BScene? LOL. Yeah, Im sure it keeps Loeffler and Pete Nelson up at night that you, Diggler, Shadope702, and aboutfknonsense dont like how they are moving their fighter.

But humor me. No one can dispute that at this snapshot in time, HBO and Haymon are not working together. That is a fact. So unless you can propose a solution to that problem, all the callouts in the world wont mean a damn thing. So whats your solution?

*crickets*

I guess we can add another catchphrase to the list......

"but but but but degale said doe"

[Simurgh]

I would favour degale at 168.. at 160 ggg

[i'm a fun haver]

What excuses will loeffer and abel come up with now?

JAMES DEGALE makes the first defence of his IBF super-middleweight title on Saturday (November 28) against Lucien Bute in Quebec, Canada. If, as expected, DeGale prevails, he’s looking forward to a big year in 2016.

“A massive year, there are some big names in the division. Badou Jack [the WBC champion] is the one I want, in Vegas,” James said. “It’s about unifying titles, he beat George Groves [DeGale’s rival, who holds a win over him], plus it’s in Las Vegas, one of my dreams. Imagine boxing in the MGM, in front of how many thousand, unifying titles. It’s a dream, he beat Groves, plus I get paid for it so it’s all good.”

He’s confident that it can happen. “[Al Haymon] gives me three opponents and I tell [him who I want to fight]. I’m in such a good position. When I hear fighters thank Al Haymon [I know why]. I’m going to be thanking Al Haymon, trust me. It’s not just that he pays you well, he’s a very, very nice humble intelligent man and all he cares about is his fighters,” James said.

He’s targeting next summer for his major fight. “This is why I’m so easy to work with because I’m willing to fight anyone. If they say [Gennady] Golovkin, why not?” he said. “I’d rather he came up to super-middle, I don’t think he’s big, he’s five foot eight. He hits extremely hard, he cuts off the ring very well. But I’m telling you, he got beaten before in the amateurs. He got Olympic silver… Trust me, he’s beatable.”

He would be willing to shed a few pounds to make that fight at a catchweight. He reckons he could make 164lbs. “As an amateur I made 75 kilos on the morning of the [bout],” James noted.

An appealing fight for a British audience would be Chris Eubank Jnr. “For a big stadium fight,” DeGale mused. “He carries that name, obviously, Eubank. You’ve see it helps him a lot along the way because he [Chris Snr] is always there, giving his bit. If he carries on winning and carries on looking good and people want to see the fight, why not? If he wins a world title, he comes up in weight, it’s catchweight or whatever and it sells, let’s do it. It could well sell.

“But I’m not too sure if he’s going to get past Gary O’Sullivan, I’ve heard he’s looking really good and he’s a good fighter. Billy Joe Saunders rates him so we’ll see.”

What network is DeGale fighting on tonight, and why isn't it HBO?
Do you really not know why DeGale is talking about this fight?

The man who banned Haymon will be gone on December 31st.

The man who banned Haymon will be gone on December 31st.

Maybe that will change things. I hope so. But I've heard that Pete Nelson is no Haymon fan either, so we'll see......

Degale can fight on any network.
Anymore excuses?

[aldo5408]

Degale didn't really look as impressive as he has looked before. Can I see gg outboxing him? Absolutely
I think degale needs to throw more combos or gg walks right through him.
Thoughts?

[MDPopescu]

DeGale doesn't need to drop down... Golovkin beats him even at 168.

Do you think gg outboxes him or a stoppage?

Golovkin stops DeGale at this stage.
