Who will be DeGale's top 5 ranked British opponent?

[alexpaterson]

I think we should stop talking about Quigleys balls now. I think he would give DeGale a lot of trouble as would Dobson. Who has DeGale beat to make people think he would destroy Quigley? This would be a massive step up for DeGale and it would be a very tough fight for him imo

[terrdilk]

I would take the fight on the 18th

All Boxers have balls, dont say anything different!!!!
but if you ask me if Chunky is ready for top 5, hmm, no not yet, he is still young, let him learn,

[leforge]

I think Degale could beat Smith in a few fights time!

[maninthemiddle]

Surely Carl Dilks is the obvious option here. Quigley has been out for a little while and lost to Paul Smith recently, Dodson has had 2 hard losing fights and is seen as a man on the way down the rankings whereas Dilks lost a contentious Commonwealth title fight and is seen as a lively contender at British and Commonwealth level. His reputation is much less tarnished than the others and a win against him would provide much more kudos for Degale.

Although I think Dilks would be a good opponent for DeGale, I believe that a win over Quigley would be considered a bigger win.

I would be happy with either opponent though.

I tend to agree, that they will go for Dilks, although not necessarily agreeeing with your reasons. :)

Trying mate

Nice one mate, hope you do sort it & all the best!!!!

Typical Warren, trying to get people to fight his prospects for rubbish money. he did it with Khan long enough.

[maninthemiddle]

He'll be fighting a light middle then!!

[whicker]

Dodson has the experience, which against a fighter like De Gale could make all the difference (if the fight ever happened.)

He also has the heart to put De Gale under real pressure, which would be interesting.

[hayebomb]

degale looks very heavy handed and skill full.... hopefully him and groves gets made sooner rather then lather... it be excellent for britsh boxing ... i reckon groves beats him on points : )

[terrdilk]

I said it the other day I will take the fight so come on dean Powell make the fight an I gladly relieve james of his WBA international title

[NazNaci1]

be someone who's been inactive or coming of a loss...probably both

And no one from that list, either

Spoke to Tony he would box Degale any time,if the money wasnt poop

Typical Warren.....

[Tko1980]

What about someone from recent prizefighter know there not in top 5 but few good scraps in there

[Horse]

Promoter allegedly is expected to confirm a challenger within the next seven days.

It has been two weeks. Does anyone know who DeGale's opponent will be?

[DougieC30]

Still no news yet... Was told 3 weeks ago that it was goni be Kenny Anderson... not heard nothing yet

degale looks skill full but im not sure about the power,he does slap a lot think hes been warned more than onces for this,think he would do groves tho.

[DougieC30]

Grooves would school Degale... Hes already beat him in the ams + hes developed better since turning Pro

[Alba]

i dont think it is ,i know kenny has signed with hatton and i couldent see Hatton let him fight with degale with him not fighting his brit title elimintor he is been over due for ages .

[avidlemon]

I reckon a good fight for Degale would be Paul David. Let him fight for a legit title (english).
It would be an excellent barometer of where he is at, as David is a good boxer, cagey, and would not fold like someone like Horton under the pressure straight away

It's not going to happen, unless on of them loses. If Groves loses and looks "beatable" then I'm sure the fight will go ahead.

If De Gale loses, he might be seen as "damaged goods" and be put in with Groves in a make or break fight.
