How good is James Degale as some say he beat Groves?

I would like to see Degale vs Groves II and the winner fights Froch, I feel that Degale has a lot of talent but he needs a new trainer.

I thought DeGale gave that fight away. He fought lazy. He was clearly better all around than Groves, but Groves wanted it more. Clear Groves win for me. I think that analysis can apply to both of their careers. Groves has grown and gotten better even though he has fewer physical tools, while DeGale is stagnating a bit.

James is an amazing talent, but an idiot who seems to get lazy in fights.

 

Groves has filled out since then and imo wins handily this time

 

Groves won a close but clear fight and looks to have improved more than James has since then.

 

I've watched DeGale's last couple of fights and would say he's talented, but still an unfinished product. He's got very fast hands, decent power, high work rate and can be difficult to catch cleanly when he's on form. On the downside, he can lie on the ropes a bit too much, his technique looks as if it lapses into sloppiness at times, and although he has good reflexes, his defence can get a bit leaky when he goes on the attack.

He doesn't look as if he's improved as much as Groves has since they fought. I suspect he'd give any SMW trouble, based on his physical tools alone; but might be in deep water against someone who isn't overawed by his athleticism.

 

He would get stoppd by Groves now

 

Groves KOs Degale In a rematch.

When Degale fought Groves it was as equals. Saturday night proved that Groves has now moved way beyond Degale's level.
