Say Degale wins Saturday, do you think this would be a good introduction for GGG into the Super Middleweight division, i think this would be a really good matchup for both of them

How would James Degale do against GGG?

DeGale has good footwork, but Golovkin's is better. He'd close off the ring and land.
The thing with GGG, as with KOvalev, is that their opposition are part-beaten already, before they step in the ring. These guys, from their records, plant doubt in the minds of fighters at 160, 168 and 175. They carry the hype. It depends if the opponent can get beyond that, spot flaws (there are some), and stick to their game plan.

I think though at 168 people wont be as worried about his power, especially in the beginning anyway, for me this would be a 50/50 fight but i can see where degale could do well on the inside with him, just depends if GGG power carries with him to get the respect at the weight, because lets face it at 160 no one is going to beat him anytime soon so i think they would matchup well.

Degale excels on the inside and has a solid chin. Plus you could assume he'd be stronger so could work even better on the inside. Degale could be a stylistic nightmare if he finished his work by clinching (thank god he doesn't).
Tough fight for both, not a good entry fight to 168 for triple G. GGG would also have to shift his gameplan from KOs to 12 round fights so we'd see more of his boxing side emerge, love to see that.
