I agree, people are going waaay over-board, but this isn't one of those threads. The comparison is Degale-Magee which is a realistic fight.
bute would destroy him, bute looked sloppy and was looking for one shot last night, he wasn't setting up his counters.
**** sake, ridiculous....he would have gotten destroyed by Bute, he hasnt even had 10 fights. The only reason Magee was able to do even reasonably well in the early rounds against Bute is because he is crafty veteran with a lot of experience.
DeGale is a nuisance but it's not a stretch to say he will reach world level in the next few years. Bit too soon to say if he can be a champion nevermind a fighter with the sucess Bute has had. He looks to have the potential so lets see if he can utilise it.
