    What do you think about Degale?

    1. Where do you rank him at 168?

    2. Does he win a rematch against Dirrell?

    3. Does he beat Jack?

    3. Does he stand a chance in the loaded 175 division(Kovalev, Ward, the pimp, Beterbiev)?

    4. Is he elite, A-, B+, B-, C, or bum?

    2. Yes. Mostly because Dirrell has done jack squat.
    3. I don't know. Want to say no.
    4. No, he'll be lucky to make top10 in LHW
    5. He's a B.

      I think he beats Dirrell again. Dirrell is way past it and not the same fighter who fought Froch. I do think it would be a closer fight though.

      I think he throws his punches to wide and looping leaving him open through the middle. I think he needs to tighten up his hooks and not do so much show boating with his hands down as he has been getting hit a lot lately. He's top 3 in 168..Yes I think he beats Jack, I want to see Jack fight someone who can actually hit him flush.

      He's pretty good, not good enough for 175 lol, if anything I think he should go middlewight... I think Froch could come out of retirement and end him though.

        So you think Jack is #1 at 168?
        While i'm impressed with Jack's run I think Degale beat the better Dirrell brother.I think Dirrell could be top of the division if he got a better trainer and worked on his defensive flaws. I guess the winner of a match between degale and jack depends on whether Degale can keep up the pace he sets at the beginning of matches because if he tires late against Jack it won't be pretty for him.

          Looked like had some talent, but got a gift against a bum in his last fight so I don't know where he stands.

            I find him very, very basic.

            He's one of those guys that thinks he's much better than he really is.

            B level fighter that has had very difficult nights with both average and clearly faded opponents. A guy like Froch would have bludgeoned him.

            He might beat Jack who is similar, but he needs to stay away from 175.

              I think he is number 2 behind Jack right now.


              I can't get over his glaring stamina issues. I'll be rooting for him against Jack but I think Jack will win when they do fight.

              I do like how he does travel to the US and Canada for fights though, so respek.

                1. Where do you rank him at 168?
                Probably #2 behind Jack. It's close though.

                2. Does he win a rematch against Dirrell?
                Yes

                3. Does he beat Jack?
                50/50 fight for me. I feel Jack may be a slight favourite.

                3. Does he stand a chance in the loaded 175 division(Kovalev, Ward, the pimp, Beterbiev)?
                Nah, not for me.

                4. Is he elite, A-, B+, B-, C, or bum?
                B

                  I find that his mental strength and confidence are his biggest attributes

                    I might rank him about 5th. I'm not sure. I'd have to study the weight class. He beats Dirrell because Dirrell isn't that good and has a weak chin. I think Jack will beat him. DeGale is sloppy and throws wide looping punches. He is fast and tricky. He is short on stamina and punch per round output. The best 175 pounders beat him. I give him a solid B but no higher.
