I think quality sparring is what DeGale needs. He is being packaged well thus far. Hennessy is doing a fairly decent job considering the European options for Super Middle's. He's ok.

He should have won that fight against Groves. But apparently Groves is a lot tougher than folks gave him credit for at that time.

But, for DeGale's case, there is a lot he can improve IF he gets good quality sparring into his regimen. He may need to go to the USA for a few months stint and get in there under a Freddie Roach or Nazeem Richardson's tutelage.

I'm just saying...
I have seen DeGale at the Glow (awfull venue) he needs to step up his comp or he will be left behind, he is not as snappy as Groves or as good on his feet, the sparring needs to improve and he needs to put the gas on in his fights he just seems content to do just enough. I think he needs to dump fat Mick and get out of his comfort zone and challenge himself or he is going to find himself way behind his contemperaries.
