    Always liked Froch and Groves,but on Sat impressed by Degales fluidity of movement.He looks all natural ability to me and we he goes through the gears outstanding.I haven't found a decent explanation as to why he has wasted the last 18 months?:think

    Injuries
    Fighting in front of a couple of hundred while his biggest rival has a superfight
    Fighting scrubs in shopping centres/high schools

    3 good reasons why he'd have little motivation

    enjoyed his work on the inside, rare you see a British fighter that can fight on inside esp as they move up the levels

    Dont think his natural ability has ever been questioned has it?

    Injuries and Hennesey?

    Don't forget that he ultimately lost to Groves as well, so whilst Groves was positioning himself as Britain's number two SMW, and natural contender to Froch, DeGale was left by the wayside regardless of the inability of Hennessy to adequately promote him.
