Degale vs Golovkin

[Chrismart]

I'd want to see GGG at 168 first, but id probably tab him to win.
DeGale is hittable, and the fact he takes rounds off and often stands up against the ropes doesn't sit too well with me in this match-up.

I'm a DeGale fan though, and if GGG did move up in weight this would be a fight i'd like to see. Especially over here.

I'm still dumbfounded on how the Brook fight did as well as it did so I'm sure it could do big business.

[Canelo and GGG]

I don't think Monroe is much like DeGale. Monroe is a skilled, fast handed boxer. Monroe throws text book perfect punches and combinations. He throws straight punches and compact hooks and uppercuts that take the shortest route to the target. DeGale often throws very wide, sloppy roundhouse punches that GGG would see coming and counter with his shorter and straighter punches. DeGale has been knocked down before while GGG has never been off his feet. I would love this fight and would bet a bundle on GGG.

Was talking about Jab only here,James is tough fighter ,could be some war in this one.

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

I think GGG would beat them both but I think Andrade would be more difficult for him to beat and would be a closer fight. Andrade has skills DeGale can only have in his dreams.

GGG loves war and he has a great left jab.

if he's such a name why have all his fights been in the states? just ****** al haymon planning?

I think the reason DeGale signed with Haymon was that Hearn couldn't get any of the Haymon fighters to come to the UK for him. Hearn has been trying to get DeGale vs Jack in UK, where he says it will make the most money, but it looks like that one is heading for the States too. Jack is also a Haymon fighter, so ... yeah, Uncle Al strikes again, I guess.

DeGale is a good fighter, but it's really hard to promote a fighter with his hairline.

[kafkod]

I understand since you live in the UK and should know more than me. But also I think that outside the UK Degale is not even that known in comparison with the other names I wrote. But in the UK it might be a different story.

Do you think GGG vs Eubank jr is bigger than GGG vs Brook?

I think it would be bigger, because GGG is bigger over here now, and because of the controversy over Jnr being pulled in favour of Brook.

I also think Hearn will book a bigger arena than the 02, if GGG/Jnr comes round again. The 02 sold out in 10 mins after tickets went on sale. With a bigger stadium, he might have doubled the live gate audience.

Turns out Frank Warren wasn't talking crap when he said he would only stage GGG vs BJS outside the football season, because GGG against a top UK fighter would be a stadium fight.

DeGale is a good fighter, but it's really hard to promote a fighter with his hairline.

A bigger problem than the hairline is DeGale's habit of fighting at his opponents level, and trying to win by just doing enough, instead of really going for it. That's maybe why he ended up losing to Groves, and why he never quite lived up to the hype when he turned pro after winning Olympic gold.
