IS DANIEL GEALE A FUTURE WORLD CHAMP?

Daniel has some way to go to get to "real' World Champion level, but handled and matched correctly he can climb towards that level.

Doubt it. He's a solid technical boxer, but I think his hand speed and lack of pop will get exposed at world class level. There have been questions about his chin also, but he took a few hard shots from Dawson without too much trouble last week. If nothing else, I would like to see him make a go of it overseas over the next 12 months and see what he can do on the world stage rather than beating up Phillipino imports and the like.

Well, the IBO reckon he is already a World Champ. Take it up with them.

Well he tested his skills against one of the best Australia has to offer and came up trumps, so long as he keeps stepping it up he can go a long way. I still think he would have more chance at 154 than 160, although the middleweight division is very depleted at the moment so who knows.

Funny you mention Filipinos. Nonoy Gonzales is the top ranked Filipino and Geale has beaten him. No 2 ranked Filipino is Danny Cruse who has had five fights in the USA for four wins and a draw.

Maybe the worst middleweights are not in the Phillipines?

i dont i dont think he is a real world champion yet while i do not like him he is a very solid boxer and i give him credit for his win against dawson but i think australian fighters as a whole need to step up the compitition and win some real world titles

Great article. Having never met him, he seems very humble and yet confident. I hope he continues to improve, gets some more corporate backing and makes a good living for himself. The corporate world could do alot worse than back someone like him.

A Commonwealth Games Gold medal is a pretty fair achievement too.
