    I'm not sure Degale can beat everyone at SMW, he barely got by Dirrell, it would have been a draw if it weren't for those 2 KD's, he barely beat Bute, that fight could have easily been 7-5 or stretching it maybe even 6-6. I'm not sure he beats Ramirez or Callum Smith . He has zero chance against Ward, Kovalev, Beterbiev and several other LHW's.

    Dirrell and Bute are two of the best in the division though. I'd like to see if Smith or Ramirez could beat either or both of them. Smith and Ramirez look like talented guys but I'm not sure they would find it any easier than deGale did against those versions of Dirrell and Bute.

    Heredia, man. Jack is not the same guy. He's a PED-monster right now thanks to TMT (The Medical Team) and Heredia.

    That's one of the major reasons why the division is so bad. Dirrell and Bute being two of the best is awful. Between the two, the best win in either's resume, currently, is Derek Edwards.

    That's really, really freaking bad. Luckily, Golovkin doesn't fight in this division so we can call it one of the best divisions in boxing and Golovkin needs to move up to SMW which is totally murderer's row.

    Now no ward or froch I think he beats all the smw, he really has been very vocal about wanting the jack fight. Fact he travels and defends the title I like, easily beats WBA champ and out works Arthur to a points win.

    Bute and Dirrell are very good, talented boxers. Dirrell has Abraham on his resume and Bute has Miranda, Johnson and Bika on his. Does Golovkin have much better names on his resume?

    Golovkin needs to move up because there are no real challenges left at 160, everybody already believes he is by far the best in that division. The size difference at 168 would make it a challenge for GGG plus the bigger guys would be less likely to duck him.

    Went life and death with Dirrell. I think Degale is a weak belt holder, could lose anytime.

    Who has ever beaten Dirrell convincingly though? People act like Dirrell doesn't have talent, skills and athleticism. Dirrell doesn't look easy to beat to me.
