    GGG. Probably UD or late KO.

    It would be a good fight but Degale makes a lot of dumb mistakes when he fights. I'd give Degale a good shot at stopping GGGs KO streak though. I'm a big Degale fan though so I'd like to see him avoid the fight for now and focus on unifying after he beats jack.

    DeGale trains like Rocky for this one, bamboozles ggg and poss stops him late, Degale on points most likely.

    Degale has FAST hands. Has never been down. I think he peppers GGG with punches

    GGG punishes his body

    Great fight

    If Degale beats Bute I'll be pushing heavily for GGG to fight him. A unified champ at 168. A great challenge for GGG

    would GGG take the fight?

    I really rate DeGale and think he has the skills to win this one. But he gets lazy in fights - sometimes takes two or three rounds off - and his work rate tends to slow in the 2nd half of bouts. If he eliminates these flaws, he wins on points. If he doesn't, he gets stopped late on. I have no idea which, though...

    I'd have to lean with GGG on this because as previous comments have stated, DeGale only seems to fight at his pace for the first half of the fight.

    Think it's an interesting fight though, DeGales speed in the earlier rounds vs GGG's body work.

    Good match up, right now I'd pick GGG by UD but maybe I could change my opinion to Degale if he beats Badou Jack convincingly.

    GGG easy win. Degale is average.. Callum Smith will destroy Degale.

    GGG wrecks him degale is the guy who struggled with that medina

    Degale also lost to groves a guy GGG toyed with and broke his ribs in sparring and groves never turned up the next day

    Groves also went 12 rounds with murray without even hurting him and putting him down GGG put murray down 4 times and stopped him

    Golovkin is on anthere level to guys like groves

    groves and deagle would go 12 round with martin murray and make it hard work we already seen that with groves
