Sartison, Stieglitz, this time next year i reckon. Id let him make a defence of his British title1st, then go after Magee. He is a real talent is DeGale, but matchmaking is still key.
I think by the time this thread gets to 3 or 4 pages people will be saying he could beat Froch right now. Great win but steady on.
cant see him getting past this version of froch. He couldnt hurt froch and froch has dealt with more elusive fighters - dirrell.
He didn't really "deal with" direll though, the judges did. Degale needs 2 more years before fighting a guy like Froch, compare him to andre ward at the same stage, hes miles ahead, can afford to slow down, get some experiance in.
Holy dog ****, DeGale is a 9 fight novice...why would he fight a Froch or a Dirrell? ...I'd like to see tapes of Froch after 9 fights...or even Andre Dirrell. They wouldn't be any better than what we saw tonight, believe that.
Come on Smith hadn't beat anybody. He wouldn't have anything to trouble Froch within the next 5 years. He can't bang and isn't that fast simple
