    I'd argue they're on par.

      DeGale should go for Ward instead. Ward has no opponent and surely would like to unify.
      Be realistic.

        Ward in your first World title defense?

          Of course YOU would

          Bute was blasted out by Froch in 5 rounds and has never looked the same since. Life n death with Glazkov in his following fight. Gun shy and comfortably beaten by Pascal.

            BattlingNelson sure has some very lofty standards when it's a fighter he doesn't arse-lick.

              Bute is not qualified. Is that not being realistic?

              Ward hasn't faced a live body for 4 years and is likely easier to beat now than next year. DeGale should have made a play for that fight.

                Degale by KO, Bute hasn't impressed me for a while now.

                  I'm not very excited for this fight. It's a name opponent but not a top opponent.

                  You gotta have a chin to begin with. Look at the first Andrade fight.

                    Why are you playing dumb? Ward is with Roc Nation and will almost certainly be fighting on the Cotto-Canelo under card.

                    This is DeGale's first title defence and first fight under Haymon.

                    Like I said, those are some lofty standards you suddenly have.

                      True, but now he fights like that's all that's on his mind.
