Why Does Everyone Think DeGale Is #1 at 168??

[Cobra_]

wtf are people smoking on here with these scores they had for old fights.

[TOBYLEE1]

He is one of the most mentally strong fighters out there.

Knows what he wants to do in there and knows what capabilities he has.

Froch and Ward are mentally strong fighters and Degale is no different. But I agree that the winner of his next fight is the #1 SMW

[Beercules]

Well we will find out soon who is

[Larry the boss]

your scorecard doesnt matter man

Haven't seen many claiming DeGale is definitely #1, i've seen lots say the Jack-DeGale winner is and i agree.

Basically this.

I mean the way rankings work someone has to be #1 right now & most fans do seem to have DeGale in that position simply because its harder for most of those fans to say Jack or Ramirez or someone else is #1. Thats all its about at this point, but anyone being reasonable understands that there isn't a clear, undisputable #1 guy.

And hell man in a couple more fights Ramirez might have a more solid claim himself who f#cking knows & I like how he matches up with anyone at 168 despite him being a Mexican Rigo.

Not everyone. I see flaws in him and don't think he is the best at 168. I'm sure he is in the top 4 or 5 best but not the best. Jack has a good chance to beat him. He often throws wide looping punches and gets sloppy. A sharp shooting counter puncher with fast strait punches can take advantage of this.

because the SMW division is just as ****ty as 160..but nobody says it.
