Valuev has fought better people than dirrell though
As for dirrell, aa style was amde for dirrell. I knew this before the fight and bet so.
Dirrell has fast hands, moves and that's trouble for anyone who has a low workrate. let's see how dirrel does vs ward or kessler
Taylor has always ahd trouble with people who actually have a high workr ate. I mean he had a close fightr with spinks ffs. manny steward was pissed. hopkins doesnt have a high workrate either.
pavlik came in there, and showed that taylor doesnt deal with pressure. he got ktfo. In a rematch with a better weight he got beat again. Taylors chin is shot, he doesnt have the stamina and was only training for 10 rounds before froch.
Like hatton, he still has something elft, but when your chin is shot, and the sport you are doign is boxing, that's not a very good thing.
Yes it is difficult to compare HW's to SMW's. Let's then say that what haye has done and what froch has done is not comparable. thus hitman's argument is invalid
