    A little bit but Degale's had injuries and been off his game even though he's top dog at 168.

    Not sure what the money's like but if it's not better than what he'd make outside the tournament I'm not mad at him if he sits it out and takes on the winner.

      Sr. is an idiot who thinks he knows better,.I wonder how he riddles out of explaining to Jr. how he cost him anywhere up to £5m last year ......SUSPECT!

        Could DeGale even fight 3 times in 9 months with how busted up he is? Really health & money are the only two things that should be holding up any top guy from entering these WBSS events. If you aren't of an age or in the shape/health to fight 3 times in 9 months or if you are making enough money where getting $10M for your next 3 fights (assuming you win) is below or comparable of what you are making & perhaps with less risk outside the WBSS.

        But sh^t fair play to these guys in this tournament using it to hype themselves & dog the guys not in it. Trash talking is part of the outside the ring entertainment & gamesmanship of the sport & whats reality or what you actual believe behind the scenes shouldn't be chosen over a good media story or soundbite lets be real about that.

                Why did you count Paul Smith as a legitimate opponent? Rogelio is way better

                  the tournament doesnt have that many good fighters in it so lets not pretend its something amazing. degale is also recovering from 2 beatings in a row and a clear loss to jack. let him retire/rest whatever he is doing. hes no longer relevant.

                    DeGale is injured but I agree with the principal. Zeuge, Ramirez, Dirrell and Lebedev are suspect for turning down this opportunity. Granted Ramirez probably didn't have any say in the matter considering how little power Top Rank fighters seem to have over their own careers

                      DeGale should be in this would really make it exciting, Eubanks would beat him though
