This is a bit pathetic calling him "De Fail".

This is the guy who won a gold medal at the Olympics and has been taking on proper challenges as a pro.

So far DeGale has backed up his big mouth in doing what he said he would do.

Regardless of what anybody thinks of him as a person, he deserves admiration for being willing to take on somebody like Paul Smith in his ninth fight and batter him to the point where he hasn't surfaced on these boards since.

Groves is up next and as much as I prefer Groves as a person I feel it will be another stoppage victory for DeGale.

Did anyone hear that clown say "I've come on heaps and bounds" on Ringside? He's like a car crash. You shouldn't look at something so horrific but you can't help it.

Who cares what he has accomplished? The video isn't about his ability or what he has won. It's just a light hearted dig at Degale.

This is just a bit of banter nothing more nothing less.

Helps sell the fight as well.

Its quite funny as well, more importantly who will be laughing come the end of fight. I think DeGale wins inside 6.

I think Groves is good, DeGale is quality though. He cares if he's a bit tiresome sometimes. I like his spiel to be honest

I know he's easy to dislike but the man is a really good fighter. I'd prefer it if Groves won; he seems very level headed and it'd be nice to see DeGale knocked about a bit. That won't happen though; DeGale is an exceptional boxer and will go through the gears and mess George up, bad stylee :(

I don't think anyone's disputed that, especially me, but that's not the point. For everything that is good about him as a fighter, there's as much wrong with him trying to be a Naz-type figure. The guy simply isn't smart or funny enough. "The butures fright, the butures Chunky."

If Degale is going to go on to big things, which he clearly has the talent to do he def needs to get more media savvy, but in fairness that will come with more experience and training.

God no, all that will mean is that he's dressed in a suit repeating the same lines over and over at the same points during a fight promotion.

He didn't meant to say 'He's definitely undermining my self belief and confidence' in that video, did he?

I've never seen that before, brilliant!

James Degale should have a watch and see how it's done properly and maybe give it a rest.

Looks like a David Haye tactic to me :lol: :lol:
After seeing the results from Coldwell's show at the weekend, I think it is fair to suggest that he should concentrate more on training his boxers.

I watched it again, that bit is just so painfully bad, he couldn't have made himself look more thick if he tried. I dont know whether he's genuinely thick or not, but he comes across as being almost mentally handicapped there.

I don't think he's stupid he's just not great in front of the camera and seeing it all edited together like that makes it seem a hundred times worse. Bit unfair really but it helps sell the fight I suppose.

Even Naz came out with some shockers occasionally. I remember him in the changing room before the Wilfredo Vazquez fight assuring the interviewer that he was "Cool, calm and collective."

I'm actually a little worried if I am honest. I hope its nerves or something.
