I'm a fan of Dwyer, I'd say I agree with about 90% of what he says and his post fight breakdowns are excellent. However, I think he has to own up to this as a huge misfire.
Some golden quotes regarding Degale : "I think James Degale is one of the top 5 best P4P fighters in the sport"
"James Degale could move up to lightheavy weight and rule the division"
"James Degale would stop Golovkin"
I feel like most people who hyped Degale never actually saw him fight, they just listened to Dwyer and basically copied his talking points. When you hear people say things like "Degale is great on the inside". No, hes not. That's a Dwyer talking point.
I'd say Dwyer is one of the top people responsible for the Degale hype.
It's not to say Degale isn't a good fighter. He is a good fighter. But he's not at the level Dwyer thinks he is. He faded against Bute, Jack, Medina and Dirrell after starting very strong in all four of those fights.
Big D is still the man. But he's way off on this one.
