Comments Thread For: DeGale Open To 175 Move, Confident of Beating Adonis Stevenson

[DreamerUSA]

I think DeGale is capable of beating Stevenson, but I'm glad he's being realistic and accepting that he will need to pick his opponents carefully at 175.

I guess, as he isn't American, that makes Chunky a cherry-picking hypocrite to some stools at this place, but fuck them.

DeGale makes easy work of Stevenson imo. DeGale is capable of taking Stevenson's left hand from him and without the left, Stevenson is an average fighter at best.

175 worst not best

175 is one of the worst divisions in boxing. Kovalev and a bunch of mediocres. Of course Depusy says nothing about fighting Kovalev. Hopefully Kovalevs team realizes there are ZERO competitive fights to be had at 175 and move up to the best division in boxing, cruiserweight, were there are 10 guys who can beat Kovalev and make huge fights. GGG has same situation at 160 with canelo the pusy and mediocres. No one wants dominic wade and pascal 2 waste of time fights.

If he establishes himself at LHW, and still exhibits that attitude, then what would you call it?

What would you call it, if Andre Ward said, I will "have to pick carefully who I want to fight"?

You and I know exactly what you would call it, Mr Two-Face.

I think Degale meant moving up for the right fight and then coming back down to 168..... or, take the time to establish himself, like Ward is doing.

I am not calling Degale a cherry-picker, nobody who moves up for Stevenson is a cherry-picker..... but I know exactly what you would have said had Ward made that comment.

Moving up from a division you are comfortable at to another where there are 10 guys who can beat you doesn't sound like good career move to me.

That's exactly what he did say, you idiot.

[ShoulderRoll]

This would make 175 one of the hottest, talent ready divisions in boxing

I agree. I'd love to see Degale get added to that mix when he's ready.

I am well-aware of that, I copied a direct quote.

But wouldn't you just be wetting yourself if Ward said that about Kovalev?
