Degale vs Golovkin

[daggum]

degale is not popular at all in the uk. he was fighting on undercards for his fights before coming to the states for his last couple fights. where do you get your info?

Why do Golovkin fans pretend this wouldn't be a huge fight in the UK? Are they that scared?

Huge GGG fan, and DeGale and Andrade are the two fights I most want to see him in.

5'11 Golovkin vs 6'0 De Gale Only an inch a 5 pound defecit. I would go for this match, but I would need to see Golovkin at 168 first. There are still fights there. Saunders, Canelo, Jacobs, then breaking the Bhop record.

160? I agree 100%. Everyone cries for him to move up right now. I'd personally think to see exactly what you just described first.

Who's pretending DeGale vs GGG wouldn't be a big fight in the UK?

GGG vs Brook was huge over here, and GGG vs DeGale will be even bigger, if they both keep winning till it happens.

And if they both keep winning, it will happen, I have no doubt about that.

Define huge. Would it be bigger than GGG vs Saunders or GGG vs Jacobs or GGG vs Brook or GGG vs Canelo?

DeGale faded from attention in the UK because, after losing to George Groves, he fought nobody of any real note till he went to the States and beat Dirrell for the IBF title.

Both his title defences have also been in the States and it looks like his next fight, against Jack, will be over the pond too.

But Chunky is an Olympic gold medal winner, and therefore, a "name" to British sports fans. If he signed to fight GGG over here, it wouldn't take long to get the hype going for him again.

Anything related to ggg outside 160 belongs on the fantasy forum...

DeGale and his tendency to put himself on the ropes makes me concerned for him. He has never fixed it so it is just a natural quirk for him to do and will likely always happen.

DeGale is the bigger man with a sturdy chin too. I think Golovkin outlasts him. I know McDonnell always talks about how fit James is but he has yet to put it together for 12 rounds. GGG points for me.

I think it would be bigger than GGG/Brook, because that fight raised Golovkin's profile over here, and definitely bigger than GGG/Jacobs. Probably about equal to GGG/BJS, though the Saunders fight would be more attractive to Golovkin, because that's the one that could make him boxing's only undisputed, 4 belt world champ.

Canelo is the biggest fight for GGG though, no doubt about that. But does Canelo want it? Doesn't look like it to me.

It would be a Wembley Stadium fight I think. GGG would be billed a pound for pound King and James as a worthy challenger to dethrone him. It would be a cracking event over here, IMO.
