    Degale was 22 when he won the Olympics. His Olympic Gold was actually outstanding, he had a very tough draw throughout yet boxed brilliantly.

    As a professional I rate him as a fairly good fighter in a weak division.

    I thought Jeffries was unlucky as a pro, then I read about his life since. 50/50 as to whether he would have had a better life as a pro boxer. Very successful guy by all accounts.

    Michael Grant. I think shoulder injury played a major role.
