    At this point I don't think DeGale is even the best super middleweight in Britain let along the world. Groves and maybe even Eubank Jr would beat him.

    One of those fighters you feel has an extra level or two, but for some reason never shows it.

    He always looks injured/knackered during fights.

    You could say almost lazy tbh.

    Degale seems like a Diva. And I don't care for his fighting in spurts, slapping style. Jack was robbed when they fought. Jack has no need to rematch DeGale in my opinion.

    It’s lack of concentration he can’t maintain his form during the whole 12 rounds. Also I think he freestyles in his fights at some point he leaves the game plan and just goes to the ropes.

    I personally can't put it all down to concentration. It's almost like he's got some kind of split personality disorder.

    He will look like an elite level fighter for 30 seconds to a minute, and then look completely lost.

    He's so infuriating to watch from a British fan point of view, as you know he has the ability to trouble the best out there, even give GGG issues due to handspeed and combinations etc.

    He'd probably give GGG the toughest 30 seconds of his career and then get KO'd straight after.

    My anger is building about him as I write this haha.

    It’s not all down to concentration it’s also his gas tank and the fact he probably thinks so highly of himself he sometimes underestimated his opponent. Look how he let Medina walk him down and get free shots off.

    I used to say skill for skill Degale has all the attributes to be like a Ward if he can put altogether but after Medina and Jack I’ve realised he can’t put it together or he would have long time ago. He has clearly peaked and is on the slide not to mention the injury record ain’t great.

    Degale simply talks a better game than he's capable of performing in the ring.
