James Degale was an Olympic Gold Medalist just like Ward, and is now arguably #1 at 168 since Ward has moved up. Since Ward/Froch vs Golovkin won't happen, Degale vs Golovkin at 168 may be the next best fight.
Degale is entering his prime and has looked really impressive schooling Bute and Dirrell, he's like a more active version of Ward and to me looks just as skilled.
So who would win between GGG (King of 160) vs Degale (King of 168)? IMO Degale would outpoint GGG by Unanimous Decision due to him being bigger and slicker.
degale schooled dirrell and bute? when did that happen? he won by about 2 points against dirrell and 7-5 or 8-4 against bute
I laughed at this too.
Bute good him a close run, and the way he put it on him at the end I thought if the judges had it closer earlier he'd have taken it. The Dirrell fight the knockdown was the difference.

Hi Dirk, did you enjoy the soccer win for Arsenal yesterday, it was a great game wasn't it.
bute was terrible though when degale fought him. froch destroyed him and pascal dominated him recently. geale had 2 debatable split decision losses when he fought ggg. lemieux had been dominant for 4 years when he fought ggg. bute was just a name.
Agreeded. Bute performance had more to due with Degales limitations as a fighter and less to do with Bute being rejuvenated.
I see where would rather live in a made up reality where Dirrel has accomplished anything other than beat journeymen. But reality Dirrell hasn't done **** to be but come up short.
Fact Lemuiex and Geale are more accomplished that Dirrel. But you can make an arguement for Bute.

I see where this fits your agenda, but no way in hell are LeMew and Murray better fighters or more accomplished fighters than Bute or Dirrell. It is what it is

Bute and especially Dirrell are both head and shoulders above anyone g string has fought. FACT!
Bute and Andre were once considered head and shoulders above anyone Golovkin has fought. Bute ain't done **** since he got battered by Froch and seems to have become gunshy and Dirrell ain't close to the same fighter since Abe hit him on the canvas.
Degale vs Golovkin is a good fight and one I'd love to see. I think Degales tendency to fade in the later rounds his undoing though. GGG late TKO.
No opinion, now here are the facts:
Bute former IBF Champion, lost 2 of his previous 4.
Lemiuex IBF champion won 4 of his last 4.
Dirrel arguably beat the #3 ranked SMW champion at the time.
Murray arguably beat the champion of MW and the #2 fighter at the time.
Dirrel best win is a DQ over Abraham.
Geale is a former unified champion.
GGG resume is better and makes a better arguement than Degake resume being better based in the accomplishments and the standings of the fighters at the time.

Disagree it's a weaker resume and put on far less good performance against similar level comp.
Bute and especially Dirrell are both head and shoulders above anyone g string has fought. FACT!
Disagree, Degale has yet to beat a world champion and his best win is over a guy people thought was shot to pieces in a tougher than expected fight.
Yet his resume is still better than gstrings
I haven't watched any of Degales fights but going by his past fights he has yet to fight any SMW that's top 10 in the world, but if Golovkin ever does move up to 168 I'd like to see them fight.

Degale was gifted his medal. He should have been DQed multiple fights. He just held and held and held, and then held some more, and then held more. And they gave him a medal. He isn't particularly slick, he is definitely nowhere near Andre Ward in terms of skill. His fight with Direlle wasn't a schooling. He won because of knockdowns, but was actually the one taken to school.
