What the hell has Taylor got to do with Dirrell? Dirrell's handspeed, movement, combinations etc is on another level compared to the Taylor we see today imo, not to mention Dirrell is a southpaw and has advantages in both height and reach, if people believe that Dirrell is a "Taylor clone" then they're in for a big shock on Saturday night.
The difference between Taylor and Dirrell is that Taylor is a proven world class boxer, where as Dirrell is not.

Are you stupid, or can't you read?
Nowhere in my post did I compare Taylor to Dirrell.

Dirrell got dropped by Rocha ffs.
haye got stopped by thompson ffs.
those type of arguments dont work bro. its just silly. this is boxing, sometimes u get caught, important thing is u get up. and even if u dont, u can become a better fighter from it. that fight was a long time ago, very lame argument.
We just don't know how good Dirrell is in reality. We know he has good amateur pedigree, we know he has good boxing fundamentals for the most part and we know he is very quick, but we have no idea of how he reacts to a top level fighter because he's totally untested. All the skills and speed in the World won't mean **** if he doesn't have the experience necessary to have good ring generalship or the ring intelligence to adapt mid-fight. I think Dirrell has a good future, but I think this tournament might have come a bit soon for him.
