1. Andre Ward (28-0, 14 KOs)
But what would be better than pitting DeGale against Froch? Why having him face the man who BEAT Froch in one of the only two losses of his career. The undefeated Ward boasts wins over both Froch and Arthur Abraham, and faces DeGale’s “old friend” Paul Smith next month in California.
Much like DeGale, Ward also boasts an Olympic Gold medal as well as a boxing world championship and is considered one of the fastest rising superstars among American boxers.
Put a fight between DeGale and Ward in Madison Square Garden or at the Barclays Center and you have a recipe for the kind of fight most fans wish Mayweather vs. Pacquiao would have been.
