I reckon DeGale should stay at 168 for as long as he can and pick up some more belts. He has the ability to do so. At 175, those big guys are gonna eat him up, especially in the middle rounds when DeGale goes into his shell and takes punches.
Stevenson, Kovalev and possibly Beterbiev would hurt him badly.
Edit: The AA fight is not only open to be made but very winnable, after that, he could set himself up for yet another unification, this time with Jack and solidify his place as not only the best smw but also the best commodity in the division.
That would only make his position at 175 more favourable, plus create a better environment for him as by then, the hope is that Kov/Ward/Stevenson would have sorted themselves out.
