It was before Degale. No, Ruthless is a bit off, I believe. As far as I know, he is 100% recovered from the Abraham punch, whether he suffered any true damage from that is a question we will never know the answer to. The only way he can do a lot to dispel any doubt that he didn't exaggerate the injury to avoid a fight with Ward is if he faces Ward.

In the past year or so, he turned down a fight with Bute in Montreal, only to criticize Bute after Bute went to Nottingham to face Froch. Recently, he turned down a fight with Adonis Stevenson because of a "lack of preparation time," even though it made him a mandatory for a Froch fight. He also left the management of Al Haymon. His brother was in a motorcycle accident that derailed both his career and his Andres's. Although he is now in Vegas training with the Mayweathers, he has no foreseeable fight and his career looks in limbo.
