    DeGale beat both very clearly, obviously when you step up to a certain level you are gonna have closer fights. No way you can argue GGG had a better guy when he is beating up far inferior comp.

    He split even with GGG in the AM's. Dirrell got the first contest by a point and lost the rematch by five points.

    ...and Bute was KTFO by GGG.

    GGG: 'Bute is the best fighter i've fought pro or amateur'

    I know you don't rate wins over Murray, Lemieux and Willie over Bute and Dirrell. Right?

    He's very underrated I agree.

    Degale shouldn;t have been overlooked. He fought two decent top 5 level SMW's and both of the fights were quite entertaining. He showed good skill ad fought two different styles in both fights.

    I think his wins are overlooked as Dirrel and Bute were both still compeititve and in the fight and it seemed that Degale was losing grip in both fights particularly during the later rounds.

    For me I think Badou Jack should also be considered. Not as good as a fighter as Degale but has definitely outperformed expectations with two very good wins.
