...which was exactly my point. It wasn't a 'comparison' to Haye, only in the sense of talking bollocks leading up to a fight to generate interest. David Haye is a totally different person to the one who talks such shit about his opponents.ILikeBeer wrote:But Haye comes across as a royal prick in the build up to fights as well. Or at least he has done since moving up to heavyweight. I'm not sure comparing DeGale to Haye is any form of compliment.MarkMcBurney wrote:At what point does someone stop being a prospect? I mean Groves has been around for a while now and I've long had him as my next 'big' thing and if it weren't for various fights falling through he'd probably already be some form of World Champion.
As is, I imagine he will have a title shot by the end of the year.
As for De Gale, I think you believe the media stuff he portrays a bit too much, he comes across as a nice enough lad but says a few things to sell fights, a bit like David Haye, although I think he now realises that was a mistake. People were just waiting for the Groves defeat to slag him off and that's what happened.
I'm not sure Kris Akabusi agrees but..!
