Dirrell and Bute are good names on DeGale's resume. Those same guys though a lot fresher and younger also lost to GGG in the ams. If DeGale didn't lose to Groves he'd have higher chances to climp into top 10. He is my fighter of 2015 though. GGG will knock him out, hopefully the fight happens in 2017-18
The Triple Duck has beaten NOBODY. Dirrell and Bute are better scalps than anyone on Bumlovkin's resume...
Of course DeGale is a better proven P4P fighter than Golovkin. Although the SMW division is presently in transition and weak, it isn't half as weak as the MW division where a top B level fight can look good against mediocre c and low B level fighters. DeGale's resume has much more talented opposition than Golovkin's, and therefore the fights will be much more competitive.
I think Degale beats Jack and Abraham. Degale has a good chance of becoming unified champ. Imagine this, GGG unifies 160, and then fights a unified undisputed 168 champ in Degale. That would be HUGE.
Resumes can't fight, there's no sensible reason any half nitwit could give for putting a fighter not remotely close to the skill level of another. P4p and all rankings are subjective so if you really believe degale is a better fighter than ggg, then by all means he's above ggg on your rankings. Thus only illustrates how poor your boxing knowledge is.. GGG is at the very elite level of all boxing talents and skills, where degale has zero elite talents or skills. If Degale wanted to fight ggg and actually try winning he would be destroyed in such one sided fashion I have no real excitement for that mismatch. If you truly believe it could be competitive, than you see them as equal or close talents. If that's the case, you have a terribly poor ability to comprehend what your eyes are seeing. It's like everything is lost going from your eyes to your brain.
Some of you are such terrible trolls. Right now MW is so many levels better than smw. Smw and cw are the 2 weakest divisions boxing has seen since when hop was fighting all the mw journeyman 2,3 facking times each. Mw right now is rivaling ww, lhw and hw. Those 4 divisions are facking stacked with endless talent. Smw is nothing but a waste. If they had a super 6 mw tourney it would blow the smw weak 6 away. So much more talent, smw has never really had true talent. For real, any division that could ever have froch or groves as a couple of the "top" fighters is a garbage division, total trash
So what did Andre Dirrell do to get that ATG status some of you want to put him at? Beat Stevens by literally running a track meet to the point HBO blackballed him? Lose to Froch? Dirrell is the guy who will put up a decent fight against many of the top guys but never be a top guy. That's who he is, that's his level. Just like Macklin and Bika.
