I believe Degale is already the best at 168.

    he has the style to beat Froch - you don't need to be a boxing genious to see this.

    he was mentally ready to do it yet.

    He is more skilled than Abraham, Froch or Johnson. He could beat them with something to spare imo.

    Kessler has been outboxed by Calzaghe and Ward, losing every round to Ward actually.

    Bute unravelled vs Andrade in their first fight because of the pressure. Degales pressure would get to him. Bute needs time to set things up.

    Ward and Dirrell would be the most difficult but I think James would be able to beat them in close fights.

    Froch "beat" Dirrell. In actual fact he got a lesson from Dirrell who got robbed. Style alone would be enough to beat Froch, who wouldn't be able to land a glove on Degale.

    De-Gale doesn't have heavy hands like Andrade.

    Great potential.

    Can't see him beating Ward though.

    Lirva and Gilfoid seem to come from the same school of thought anyway.

    Froch, Ward, Bute and probably Kessler will be a step too far for Degale at this point in his career but i think he's ready for the rest. Warren should feed him a Abraham or Glen Johnson type opponent next.

    and someone wrote "?????" when i said DeGale is the most over rated fighter on the country.

    The guy doesn't even throw punches correctly.

    DeGale is going a long way but none are better than Ward in my opinion, we shall see.
