    He looked good beating a motivated Bute in a pretty good fight and his best win was against Andre Dirrell .

    Future opponents could be Arthur Abraham , Chudinov , Badou Jack

    Currently the best super middle in the world.

    Him vs Jack would be a great fight.

    I could see Jack winning.

    I think he's the best super middleweight right now ...it's kind of a dead division but he is a pretty good fighter he'd easily beat Abraham and Jack probably Chudinov too I'd like to see that one. He probably deserves more credit than he get's as a fighter.

    Good enough to beat people in their own backyard.

    I think it's a pretty good competitive division with fan friendly fights .

    Probably the best in the division, but beatable because he makes mistakes and doesn't quite have the cool head he should have for someone with his obvious qualities.

    Think he'll eventually be superseded at the top of the division by Callum Smith.

    :lol: He doesn't beat Jack easily. I can't believe I'm agreeing with MVC, but I actually think Jack can beat DeGale. Not that I favor one over the other, though. I wouldn't bet on the fight, but I can see Jack beating DeGale.

    The division is pretty dead, though.

    Jack loses on an even playing field. Everyone knows Jack has some of that TMT juice.

    On a good night he can beat anyone between 160-175.

    Very good, probably the best in his division.

    Some people are saying the division is dead but I think deGale would have given the likes of Calzaghe, Hopkins or any of the Super 6 a really tough fight.

    Jack has looked good recently but let's not forget Derek Edwards wrecked him in 1 round, DeGale having and easy night isn't exactly crazy.

    agreed, p4p wise LHW is a level above SMW. Especially now that Wards there.
