Is it me or is degale one of the most overrated brit fighters too have won gold?

[Redd Foxx]

yet you lot suck badou jacks **** for drawing against him.

Jack is another that's overrated. I won't be surprised if the inactive old man finishes him.

DeGale has never looked great. He could have easily lost half of his fights in the last several years. Always "figures out" his training problems after a tough fight but comes back looking exactly the same. The fact that he got fortunate so many times, coupled with having zero charisma, is probably why so many people either dislike him or don't care about him.

I think the only real support he gets is from hardcore pro-Brits.

Degale is **** he goes life and death with everyone hope truax beats his skull in again

Calzaghe beat Reid 8 to 4. There was nothing disputable abo.

then why was it a drwa in manys eyes?


no, mate. Joe was matched by reid that night, and flatly refused to rematch the guy once he knew he might get beat by him.

Why the bad reaction from you anyway? Reid was world class! Matching Reid is a good feat, and joes highest effort until he fought Kessler in his final SMW career bout.

Remember that this is the Reid that Ottke "beat" only a little better than Joe, although perhaps Joe faced a less prime Reid. SO Joe was close to Otkke. Thats pretty good. Dont sell Joe short please.

You believe Degale fought and beat better fighters than what Calzaghe beat at SMW?

you read it wrong, the word "consistency" doesnt mean remotely what you interpreted it as. Furthermore you took your own mistakethat you made there entirely personally, judging from your next bit -

Hang yourself. It's the only option for a moron like yourself.

you shouldnt take posts personally especially when you read them wrong. You make yourself look a tool, by your own hand, - I'm not actually saying that you one, take note.

You can rewrite your post once you've worked out what you are answering.

It wasn't a draw in many eyes. Just those who wanted to smear Calzaghe.

It was a good fight with both getting their shots in, but Joe landed more and won more rounds. It was pretty easy to score.

It was Reid who priced himself out of the rematch. Joe wanted it but Robin clearly didn't really want it again.

The bad reaction is down to so many people ****ting on Joe, so it gets a little tiring after a while.

Ok, you think Degale fought better opponents consistently than Joe did, which is also wrong.

Dirrell and Jack were the only good fighters Degale fought. Bute was past his best after Froch ruined him. Medina was nothing but decent. So no, he didn't fight better fighters more consistently than Calzaghe.

Glen McCrory wanted to smear Calzghe. whys that?
Explain why Glen hated joe for me, mate.

It was Reid who priced himself out of the rematch. Joe wanted it but Robin clearly didn't really want it again.

no dont reverse the facts. Joe never wanted to rematch someone he found unexpectedly tough, it is the same EVERY TIME he had that experience. Mitchell, Kessler, and complete avoidance of tough title defences outside the wbo bar Bika.

The bad reaction is down to so many people ****ting on Joe, so it gets a little tiring after a while.

then back up what you say and explain why glen mcrory shyts on joe. or, your comment fails.

again u r wrong.

I said consistency. Let me know why you are so eager to change my argument into something that you want to rewrite it as.

Bute, Medina Dirrell, Jack is a 4 SMW fight run of higher consistency than any consecutive chain of 4 Calzaghe title fights during nearly all of joes reign - but just before joe quit, he picked it up with a fairly solid run from Lacy culminating in the excellent Kessler win.

Joe had to though, becos he had done buga all before that. Degale wouldnt have needed to do that - shame he couldnt keep his feet on the ground like joe did.

[Sparked_26]

Had a good career and competed at world level consistently.

Dunno why everyone has to be a world beater now.

I suspect James should be looking at retiring soon though. His personality probably cost him more money. He plays a bit of a role that doesn't nor has ever helped him.

The boxingscene flow chart is

Pound 4 pound? Yes>ducker No>Bum

I've had some reservations about how far he would get since he faced some French dude a few fights after the Groves fight - Mohammedi or summat. That was when he first showed a propensity to spend long periods on the ropes and fade down the stretch and just basically be in a high contact fight.

Switching off pundits keep calling it. He ain't switching off imo.

His legs aren't right. Never mind his shoulder. I think he bollocksed his knee years ago now. Has managed some good wins. His top level career has started when I suspect he's been fragile for all of it.

He's done better than I thought tbh. He's a tough competitor.
